Summary
Juan Carlos Félix Gastelum, known as “El Chavo Félix,” just pleaded guilty in San Diego federal court to running a massive Sinaloa Cartel drug operation, admitting to trafficking tons of meth and cocaine into the U.S. and overseeing meth labs in Mexico. A key enforcer for El Mayo Zambada’s cartel, he allegedly supplied other leaders with thousands of pounds of meth. His arrest in Mexico last year and extradition to the U.S. signal a major U.S.-Mexico joint effort to dismantle cartel operations—even from behind bars. Indicted nearly four years ago, he now faces a potential life sentence for drug charges and up to 20 years for money laundering, marking a major victory for federal prosecutors in their decades-long fight against the cartel.
