‘Mexicans crushed’- PNP

SAVE for a few “remnants” who are now the subject of pursuit operations, the Mexican Sinaloa drug cartel’s “joint venture” with Chinese druglords no longer holds and was actually “crushed,” the spokesman of the Philippine National Police-Anti-Illega l Drugs Special Operations Task Force (AID-SOTF) said on Monday.

In an interview, Chief Inspector Roque Merdeguia said that contrary to reports that the cartel remains active in the local drug market, members of the notorious group have dropped their plans of expanding through the Philippines. However, the official said he was not sure if the cartel’s operation would transfer to another country.
