美国冻结墨西哥毒贩的资产
MEXICO CITY, May 15 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. Department of Treasury 1 has frozen the assets of an alleged 2 member of Mexico's Sinaloa drug cartel, the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City announced Thursday.
The American embassy said in a statement the embargo 3 targets Sinaloa cartel member Heriberto Zazueta Godoy and three other suspects, as well as three companies linked to the men.
According to the U.S. Foreign Narcotics 4 Kingpin Designation Act, also known as the Kingpin Act, authorities have the right to freeze all of the suspects' assets and property, including companies, in the United States or under the control of U.S. citizens.
The whereabouts of Zazueta, wanted by U.S. law enforcement for his decades-long involvement in drug trafficking, are currently unknown.
Zazueta was accused of helping 5 to ship 19 tonnes of cocaine 6 aboard a motorboat that was seized in international waters off the coast of Panama in March 2007. He was again charged by an Illinois court with drug trafficking and money laundering 7 in February, along with the head of the Sinaloa cartel, Ismael "Mayo" Zambada, who is also on the run.
The U.S. State Department is offering a 5-million-dollar reward for information leading to Zambada's arrest.
The other suspects are Zazueta's uncle Leopoldo Gomez Zazueta and his brother-in-law Demetrio Romero Zevada.
Violating the embargo could lead to punishment of a 10-year to 30-year prison sentence, or a 5-million-dollar fine for individuals and 10-million-dollar fine for companies, according to the statement.（本文由在线英语听力室整理编辑）
