According to AP, a Mexican judge Friday acquitted a reputed drug cartel “queen”. Judge Fernando Cordova del Valle ruled that prosecutors failed to bring enough evidence against Sandra Avila Beltran, described by U.S. and Mexican officials as a major decision-maker for the Sinaloa gang, Mexico’s most powerful cartel. The “Queen of the Pacific” had been charged with organized crime, conspiracy to traffic drugs and money laundering.
