A high-ranking member of a Mexican narco mob who allegedly faked his own death has been discovered living in Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, and now faces federal charges, the U.S. Justice Department announced Thursday. Cristian Fernando Gutierrez-Ochoa had assumed a fake identity to evade Mexican law enforcement and had been living in a luxury apartment in Riverside, California when he was arrested earlier this week, according to prosecutors. The 37-year-old Gutierrez-Ochoa, who is the son-in-law of the cartel’s leader El Mencho, had been charged with international drug trafficking and money laundering. "The Jalisco Cartel — one of the world’s most Prosecutors said prior to his escape, Gutierrez-Ochoa was personally responsible for the distribution of 40,000 kilograms of methamphetamine and 2,000 kilograms of cocaine from Mexico to the United States. In 2021, he also allegedly kidnapped two members of the Mexican Navy as part of an attempt to release his mother-in-law, El Mencho’s wife, following her arrest by Mexican authorities. El Mencho then helped his son-in-law fake his death by telling his associates he had killed Gutierrez-Ochoa for lying. El Mencho was charged in 2022 with leading a criminal enterprise to manufacture and distribute fentanyl in the United States. The U.S. Departement of State has offered a reward up to $10 million leading to his arrest and/or conviction. El Mencho remains on the lam. "The DEA is relentlessly committed to defeating the Jalisco Cartel, and we will exhaust every tool in the justice system to fight back, to save American lives, and to bring this cartel to justice," added DEA Administrator Anne Milgram.

| #3 If someone kills him can that person be charged? Well the dead are often counted in the local census, and also apparently vote in some districts of CA, so some judge would rule that although already dead, he could still be killed again. |
