Tennessee crash results in $10 million reward for alleged Mexican drug lord known as "The Grandfather"
Years ago, an investigation was launched following a car accident involving two drug dealers in a small Tennessee town. This led to a chain of events including wiretaps, a police shootout, and the discovery of drugs hidden in a tractor trailer, ultimately tracing back to cartel leaders in Mexico. Recently, indictments were issued by the Justice Department against three leaders and two high-ranking enforcers of the United Cartels, a rival of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. A significant reward of up to $10 million is being offered for information leading to the capture of the top leader, Juan José Farías Álvarez - "El Abuelo," along with substantial rewards for the others, all believed to be in Mexico. The cases exposed how drugs from violent cartels in Mexico make their way into the U.S. and impact American communities. The United Cartels, heavily involved in methamphetamine production, has become a key target for U.S. law enforcement. The investigation, sparked by a car accident in Tennessee, eventually uncovered a major drug ring in Atlanta, linked to United Cartels. Authorities seized a significant amount of meth in the process and discovered a network of drug distribution across various U.S. cities. This case reflects ongoing efforts to combat cartels through indictments and financial sanctions, showing collaboration between U.S. and Mexican authorities.
