An alleged Sinaloa Cartel leader has been charged with narcoterrorism and drug trafficking, and a reward of up to $5 million each is being offered for information leading to his capture, as well as the arrest of his brother, federal prosecutors in San Diego said Thursday.
Rene Arzate-Garcia, also known as “La Rana,” is described by prosecutors in court documents as “a high-ranking, hyper-violent Sinaloa Cartel lieutenant” who prosecutors say has “brutally controlled the Tijuana Plaza” along with his brother, Alfonso Arzate-Garcia, also known as “Aquiles.”
Prosecutors say the brothers have used “murder, kidnappings, extortion, and corruption” to control the region and support drug trafficking operations that have moved “thousands of kilograms of methamphetamine, cocaine, fentanyl, and marijuana into the United States,” while also laundering millions in drug proceeds.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office said Rene Arzate-Garcia has carried out “kidnappings and executions” in Tijuana on the cartel’s behalf and is a central figure in an ongoing, violent conflict between two cartel factions.
Arzate-Garcia was designated by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control as a drug kingpin in 2023.
The narcoterrorism charge stems from the Trump administration’s designation of the Sinaloa Cartel last year as a foreign terrorist organization.
Anyone with information regarding the Arzate-Garcia brothers was asked to contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI or to go to their nearest FBI office. Tips can be submitted online anonymously at tips.fbi.gov/home.
