Mexico's Attorney General's Office (FGR) announced on Friday that it had extradited to the United States a "high-ranking member of a drug trafficking organization," whom it identified as Juan 'A'.


Mexican media reported that he is Juan Manuel Abouzaid El Bayeh, alias "El Árabe" or "El Escorpión," a high-ranking member of the Jalisco Cartel - New Generation (CJNG) and an associate of Los Cuinis, a special group within the cartel led by one of the brothers-in-law of Nemesio Oseguera, alias "El Mencho," the founder of the CJNG.

According to the prosecutor's office, Juan 'A', of Mexican nationality, was wanted by the Federal District Court for the District of Columbia, for the crimes of criminal association and against health" and his surrender to US authorities occurred "in compliance with the Extradition Treaty signed between Mexico and the United States of America".

Juan 'A' was arrested in Zapopan, Jalisco, in 2021, and after the efforts of the FGR, the Mexican government granted his extradition to the US. He was handed over at the Mexico City International Airport to US agents, who would be in charge of his final transfer.

The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), which belongs to the Treasury Department, designated Juan Manuel Abouzaid El Bayeh as a 'Specially Designated Narcotics Trafficker' in March 2021 for his "high-level role in facilitating drug shipments and money laundering for the Jalisco Cartel - New Generation".
