SAN DIEGO—A 70-year-old man who prosecutors say ran a Mexican drug trafficking organization that moved “substantial quantities” of cocaine into the United States over the course of several decades pleaded guilty March 8 in San Diego federal court.
Raul Flores-Hernandez, of Guadalajara, Mexico, ran the Jalisco-based trafficking organization from sometime in the 1980s until 2017, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
