Mexican authorities announced the capture Monday of US-born drug capo Edgar Valdez Villarreal, also known as "the Barbie" (for his fair complexion).| Based on his photos and videos, I'd almost say there's some German or Eastern European blood there. |
| Lots of that going around since the 1930s. First European Jews, Communists, and those with principles who saw which way the wind was blowing, then Nazis escaping the natural justice of losing the war. They didn't all end up in Argentina... Not to mention the European engineers and business managers chasing opportunity since the 1920s. |
and Born in Laredo, TX, the bilingual drug trafficker was reportedly responsible for dozens of deaths in both central Mexico and around Acapulco.
Valdez-Villareal is charged in indictments in both Texas and Louisiana.
The US State Department offered up to $2 million for information leading to Valdez-Villarreal's "arrest and/or conviction". Mexican authorities had also offered $2.2 million. |
