Fond du Lac, Wisconsin: El Taquero Of The CJNG, Who Used Premises To Sell Drugs, Sentenced To Prison
Excerpt:
The US justice sentenced a man identified as Luis A. Morales, known as El Taquero of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), who used his taquerías to sell drugs, to spend 14 years in prison. In addition to the fact that he formed a network of operators in Illinois. There is also a record of his multiple trips to Colombia and Mexico, where he made alliances with other drug traffickers and who supplied him with cocaine.
Along with the owner of Mr. Taco and Savor Food & Spirits, located in Fox Valley, six of his employees who were involved in drug dealing were sentenced. El Taquero was also fined almost 300 thousand dollars and his premises were confiscated. The sentence contemplates that when he leaves prison he will be under supervision for 10 years.
Superior District Judge William C. Griesbach revealed that El Taquero gave money to a large criminal enterprise. He was arrested in December 2020, after a search in which packages of cocaine were discovered in a car. Weeks later they searched the restaurants and there they seized more drugs.
The United States Department of Justice considers the Jalisco New Generation Cartel to be one of the most dangerous and well-armed criminal organizations in the world. “Its members are willing to take on rival cartels and even Mexican government security forces. The CJNG is responsible for horrific acts of violence,” US authorities said in a statement.

This arrest in Wisconsin illustrates the tentacles of the cartels reach deep into the US and with Biden’s open border policy the ease of transport is there.
