Cocaine-dealing US marine tried to become the next El Chapo
A former US Marine used his military training and Mexican connections in a bid to become the next El Chapo, according to a federal indictment.
Leatherneck combat vet Angel Dominguez Ramirez Jr. oversaw a cocaine-dealing empire, employing dozens of workers and a skill for corrupting Mexican authorities, the US Attorney’s Office in San Diego alleged Friday.
His emerging cartel had “an unprecedented level of corruption within the Mexican government, local police departments, federal police agencies and military,” prosecutors claim.
They charged 41 people in the case and seized about 11,000 pounds cocaine, along with $9 million in drug profits, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
Dominquez was arrested in Mexico in 2016 and is awaiting extradition to San Diego for trafficking cocaine.
His outfit brought the drug from Peru, Venezuela and Ecuador, through Central America and into Chiapas, Mexico, where runners packed it onto boats, planes and commercial vehicles for delivery to the US in California and Texas.
