Feb. 21 (UPI) -- A leader in one of Mexico's major drug cartels appeared in a Washington, D.C., court Friday on drug trafficking charges, one day after he was extradited to the United States.
Ruben "El Menchito" Oseguera Gonzalez had been in custody in Mexico since his arrest in 2015, during which time he fought the United States' efforts to have been extradited to face charges there.
