On 27 September 2011, Mexico's Office of the General Prosecutor (PGR) issued an arrest warrant for El Mencho and offered MXN$2 million for anyone who can help provide information that leads to his arrest. He was accused of organized crime involvement and illegal possession of firearms. In March 2014, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, based on the previous investigations by the DEA, indicted El Mencho for several charges, including drug trafficking and for being leaders of a "Continuing Criminal Enterprise". El Mencho and Abigael were accused of coordinating shipments of cocaine and methamphetamine from South America via Mexico to the U.S. They also stated that the CJNG and Los Cuinis coordinated the collection and delivery of the drug proceeds from the U.S. to Mexico. In addition, the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas is looking to convict El Mencho for drug trafficking offenses.
Calakmul
Calakmul is located in Campeche state in southeastern Mexico, about north of the border with Guatemala and north of the ruins of El Mirador. The ruins of El Tintal are to the southwest of Calakmul and were linked to both El Mirador and Calakmul itself by causeway. Calakmul was about south of the contemporary city of Oxpemul and approximately southwest of La Muñeca. The city is located on a rise about above a large seasonal swamp lying to the west, known as the El Laberinto "bajo" (a Spanish word used in the region to denote a low-lying area of seasonal marshland). This swamp measures approximately and was an important source of water during the rainy season. The "bajo" was linked to a sophisticated water-control system including both natural and artificial features such as gullies and canals that encircled a area around the site core, an area considered as Inner Calakmul. The location of Calakmul at the edge of a "bajo" provided two additional advantages: the fertile soils along the edge of the swamp and access to abundant flint nodules. The city is situated on a promontory formed by a natural high limestone dome rising above the surrounding lowlands. This dome was artificially levelled by the Maya. During the Preclassic and Classic periods settlement was concentrated along the edge of the El Laberinto "bajo", during the Classic period structures were also built on high ground and small islands in the swamp where flint was worked.
