U.S. Bounty on El Mencho Doubled to $10 Million
The U.S. State Department doubles the Narcotics Rewards Program bounty on El Mencho from $5 million to $10 million, the maximum allowed at the time. The increase reflects CJNG's expanded footprint into fentanyl production and distribution into the U.S. market.
