The woman is a Mexican national legally able travel to the U.S. before her arrest last summer. Ramirez is expected to be sentenced in March. The case was first reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleveland.com\/crime\/2021\/12\/mexican-national-admits-to-laundering-drug-proceeds-from-cleveland-through-banks.html\">Cleveland.com.<\/a><\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>According to a criminal complaint filed in the U.S. Central District of California, Ramirez spent several years building a network of money laundering brokers who would wire funds from various U.S. cities to Mexico for Cartel Jalisco New Generation (CJNG). An undercover agent infiltrated the network and, through the use of informants, set up meetings and interacted with Ramirez and her bosses in Mexico.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>The agent worked to set up multiple cash contracts where he would wire cartel cash through a U.S. bank in exchange for a commission. Ramirez and others in her organization claimed to have several brokers who offered the same services. One of Ramirez\u2019s superiors, Raul Lanegra, claimed to work directly with the leader of CJNG Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes and to receive approximately $417 million in payment for moving billions of the cartel\u2019s money through government contracts.<\/p>\n<p>The agent was given a series of contracts that had her moving funds from Ohio and New York to Mexico using bank accounts set up by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Eventually, the agent was able to lure Orozco to Ohio where authorities arrested her during the summer. Since then, the woman remained in federal custody.<\/p>\n<p>As Breitbart Texas has reported, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/border\/2017\/07\/23\/narco-terror-mexican-cartel-begins-using-ieds\/\">CJNG is one of the main perpetrators of violence throughout Mexico<\/a>. The criminal organization clashes with various rivals driving up the violence in once-peaceful resort sites like Cancun, Baja California, and Central Mexico. As part of their tactics in Mexico, CJNG implements the use of IEDs, car bombs, and has even weaponized drones to drop explosives.<\/p>\n<p><em>Ildefonso Ortiz is an award-winning journalist with Breitbart Texas.
