During a press briefing in Brooklyn, NY, on Monday, Attorney General Pam Bondi was asked about Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada Garcia pleading guilty and further investigations into cartel leaders
00:00Thank you so much. So on that point, I know as you wrap up these cartels, you're focused on, as well, presumably with cash and assets that comes up with that. Here in New York City, the DA for years has uncovered you'd be buying luxury goods, shipping it to China, and then the money comes back to Mexico. Where do those efforts stand today as far as following the money and really kind of grabbing more of the people with the silver thing?
00:24Yeah, if you couldn't hear, you ask about following the money. Following the money is always part of any of these criminal cases. That's how we're able to track and find them. I mean, this guy, Elmayo, was living like a king, and now he's living like a criminal for the rest of his life. He was living in a palace, and now he's going to be in a prison. So following the money is how we solve these cases. Terry, do you want to add a couple words to that with DEA?
00:49Thank you, Madam Attorney General. There is a large cash seizure associated with this forfeiture that we will get out here shortly. But more importantly, our work with the Mexican government is not done. Similar to what we did with RCQ that we brought to the United States, there are proceedings happening as we speak.
