April 23 (UPI) -- Authorities in Colombia and the United States dismantled a money laundering network linked to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel that allegedly moved more than $190 million since 2023 through cryptocurrencies, shell companies and couriers.
The joint operation resulted in five arrests for extradition purposes, according to Colombian police.
The operation was carried out simultaneously in Bogotá, Cali and Jamundí, where agents conducted at least seven raids.
Among those detained was Johan Alberto Gutiérrez Alonso, a Colombian-American citizen known as "Dans" or "Gordo," identified as a key liaison with the Mexican cartel.
