(CNN) — Mexico has handed an alleged Chinese fentanyl kingpin over to authorities in the United States, where he is wanted for money laundering and drug trafficking.
Zhi Dong Zhang is accused in court documents of exporting, transporting and distributing more than 1,000 kg of cocaine and 1,800 kg of fentanyl as well as laundering more than $150 million in illegal annual profits, according to CNNE.
Investigators claim the Chinese national, known by the alias “Brother Wang,” operated in the US, Central America, Europe, China and Japan and that he formed alliances with Mexican criminal organizations to carry out trafficking, the records show.
Zhang was first arrested in Mexico last October and granted house arrest while awaiting a court hearing for his extradition to the US.
