Luis Eduardo González García was a significant figure in international drug trafficking, particularly connected to the operations in the Chicago area. He orchestrated a sophisticated smuggling and money laundering network from 2012 to 2017, during which he partnered with Mexican drug cartels to transport thousands of kilograms of cocaine into the United States. González García set up numerous front companies in Chicago and its suburbs, as well as in Texas and Georgia, to disguise his illegal activities. These companies, purportedly selling furniture, snack foods, and laundry detergents, concealed cocaine shipments and laundered millions of dollars in proceeds.
His operation involved hiding drugs and cash in box pallets of legitimate goods, which were transported from Mexico using semi-trailer trucks with unsuspecting drivers. Over this period, González García managed to distribute thousands of kilograms of cocaine and launder over $50 million back to cartel accounts in Mexico.
In 2022, after pleading guilty to federal drug conspiracy and money laundering charges, González García was sentenced to 30 years in federal prison and fined $1.5 million. His arrest in 2018 by DEA agents in Guatemala marked the culmination of his criminal activities, which had significantly enriched both himself and his cartel partners, such as the Sinaloa cartel and the New Generation cartel.
When you are dealing with cartels such as the Sinaloa cartel, you know that they are going to have many different front operations to move their product and many different ways to wash the money as it comes back to them. In this episode, we take a look at one of these elaborate operations that utilized trucks to bring tons of cocaine into the United States and the eventual arrest of the man behind it.
