Federal authorities have charged alleged leaders of the Sinaloa cartel’s Beltran Leyva Organization (BLO) with narco-terrorism, terrorism support, and international drug trafficking in what officials called a first-of-its-kind indictment targeting the cartel’s role in fueling the U.S. fentanyl crisis.
Sinaloa BLO is a powerful and violent faction of the Sinaloa cartel that is believed to be the world’s largest known fentanyl production network, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ).
