Project
Reckoning:
Huge blow
to Mexican drug cartels & gang members world-wide
BY MICHAEL WEBSTER: INVESTIGATIVE
REPORTER
Sept 17, 2008 at 12:30 PM PST
Massive international secret law enforcement task force
operation now reveled for the first time is called
“Project
Reckoning” and the U.S. government claims it has
resulted in the arrest of more than 500 individuals in the
United States, Mexico and Italy with more expected. “Project
Reckoning,” a multi-agency law enforcement effort led by the
DEA, targeted the largest Mexican Drug Cartel and its U.S. and
international distribution networks.
175 of the 500 arrested are believed
members of the Mexican Drug Gulf Cartel. Among those indicted
are three of the alleged leaders of the Gulf Cartel: Ezequiel
Cardenas-Guillen, Heriberto Lazcano-Lazcano, and Jorge Eduardo
Costilla-Sanchez. These individuals, each designated as
Consolidated Priority Organization Targets (CPOTs) by the
Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF), have been
indicted in U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia on
charges that they conspired to import drugs into the United
States from Mexico. A CPOT designation is reserved for
significant narcotics traffickers who are believed to be the
leaders of drug trafficking organizations responsible for the
importation of large quantities of narcotics into the United
States.
During
the arrests the law enforcement officers reported they Seized
over $60 Million USD and More Than 40 Tons of Illegal Drugs from
just the Mexican Drug Cartel.
The investigative efforts in Project
Reckoning were coordinated by the Justice Department’s Special
Operations Division, the DEA, FBI, U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement, Internal Revenue Service, U.S. Marshals Service,
and attorneys from the Criminal Division’s Narcotic and
Dangerous Drug Section. More than 200 federal, state, local, and
foreign law enforcement agencies contributed investigative and
prosecutorial resources to Project Reckoning through the OCDETF.
Significant assistance was also provided by a coalition of
international investigative agencies spearheaded by DEA offices
located in Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama, and Italy, with
assistance from foreign counterparts in each of those countries.
2.4 tons of cocaine (above) was seized in Colon, Panama as part
of Project Reckoning.
The Gulf Cartel is responsible for the
transportation of multi-ton quantities of cocaine,
methamphetamine, heroin and marijuana from Colombia, Guatemala,
Panama, and Mexico to the United States, as well as the
distribution of those narcotics within the United States. The
Gulf Cartel is also believed to be responsible for laundering
multiple millions of dollars in criminal proceeds. Individuals
indicted in the cases are charged with a variety of crimes,
including: drug trafficking charges related to cocaine and
marijuana; solicitation and conspiracy to kidnap; attempted
murder; conspiracy to use a firearm in a violent crime;
conspiracy to kill and kidnap in a foreign country; interstate
and foreign travel in aid of racketeering; money laundering; and
other related crimes.
 “By
spreading dangerous drugs and resorting to brutal violence,
international drug cartels pose an extraordinary threat both
here and abroad,” said Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey.
“The scope of the threat demands a deliberate and
sustained response and the success we have had, such as the
takedowns announced today, is due to the combined efforts of
federal, state, local, and international law enforcement.
Although I am pleased with the efforts so far, we cannot and
will not rest on these successes. The threat posed by
international drug cartels is too great. It will take all of us
working together to prevail.”
“We successfully completed a hard-hitting, coordinated, and
massive assault on the powerful and extremely violent Gulf
Cartel,” said DEA Acting Administrator Michele M. Leonhart. “We
have arrested U.S. cell heads, stripped the cartel of $60
million in cash, imprisoned their brutal assassins, and
significantly disrupted their U.S. infrastructure. DEA will
continue our relentless attack against this cartel, aiming to
dismantle them and stop the violence they inflict on Southwest
Border communities.”
According to the indictments to date,
Project Reckoning has resulted in the arrest of 507 individuals
and the seizure of approximately $60.1 million in U.S. currency,
16,711 kilograms of cocaine, 1,039 pounds of methamphetamine, 19
pounds of heroin, 51,258 pounds of marijuana, 176 vehicles, and
167 weapons. 
Project Reckoning, a 15-month
investigation, combined into one centrally coordinated effort
several multi-district enforcement operations that all involved
individuals with close ties to the Gulf Cartel. Operation Dos
Equis, Operation Vertigo, Operation Stinger, and Operation The
Family, as well as numerous local operations combined to form
the secret operation “Project Reckoning.”
The investigative efforts in Project Reckoning were
coordinated by the Justice Department’s Special Operations
Division, the DEA, FBI, U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement, Internal Revenue Service, U.S. Marshals Service and
attorneys from the Criminal Division’s Narcotic and Dangerous
Drug Section. More than 200 federal, state, local and foreign
law enforcement agencies contributed investigative and
prosecutorial resources to Project Reckoning through the OCDETF.
Significant assistance was also provided by a coalition of
international investigative
agencies spearheaded by DEA offices located in Colombia ,
Guatemala , Mexico , Panama and Italy with assistance from
foreign counterparts in each of those countries.
