The U.S. Treasury Department has sanctioned 10 Mexican nationals for their alleged involvement in the vast illegal fentanyl network of the country's most notorious drug organization, the Sinaloa Cartel.
The US Treasury is accusing the cartel of supplying chemical drugs used to make fentanyl. It is a highly addictive pain reliever that has fueled the opioid crisis in the United States and caused a sharp increase in overdose deaths in the population.
