"Along with his father, Pedro Inzunza Noriega, Coronel was one of Mexico's top fentanyl traffickers. Last year, Mexican authorities raided multiple locations controlled by the duo and seized more than 1.65 tons of the drug the largest seizure of fentanyl in the world. In May, the US Department of Justice charged the father and son with narco-terrorism in connection with trafficking massive amounts of fentanyl, cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin into the US."
"The indictment for narco-terrorism was the first in the nation, according to the US attorney's office for the southern district of California. US authorities claimed that together the father and son lead one of the largest and most sophisticated fentanyl production networks in the world, and had trafficked tens of thousands of kilograms of fentanyl into the United States. Coronel and Noriega were key leaders of the Beltran Leyva Organization,"
Pedro Inzunza Coronel, alias El Pichon, was killed during a Mexican navy anti-drug operation in Sinaloa after two operators of his criminal cell were detained and attacked naval personnel. Coronel and his father, Pedro Inzunza Noriega, led a major fentanyl trafficking network that trafficked tens of thousands of kilograms of fentanyl into the United States. Authorities previously seized more than 1.65 tons of fentanyl in raids on their locations. The US Department of Justice charged the father and son with narco-terrorism and money laundering. The pair were linked to the Beltran Leyva Organization and splinter groups including the Guasave Cartel.
