Who is Ye?

The United States wanted Ye Li Zhen, a Mexican businessman from China.

Ji Jun, a reporter from Multidimensional News Agency, reported that Ye Lizhen, a "China drug Lord" wanted by Mexicans, has now become the target of the US Drug Enforcement Administration. Las Vegas media recently revealed that the China businessman who lost tens of millions of dollars in Las Vegas has now become a fugitive.

After being wanted by Mexico, the United States also began to arrest Ye.

On July 10, CBS Las Vegas Channel 8 revealed that Ye Zhenzhen, once one of the most extravagant gamblers in the history of Las Vegas, has now become the target pursued by the whole world. The China businessman who lost tens of millions of dollars in Las Vegas casinos may have manufactured and sold methamphetamine.

Although American law enforcement officials are reluctant to talk about Ye Li Zhen's case, investigators from Radio 8 in Las Vegas have pieced together the details of the case and put together a panoramic view of exclusive details. According to the report, Ye is no longer a popular gambler in Las Vegas casino, but a fugitive.

This China businessman, who is honored as "Mr. Ye" in Las Vegas, is suspected of smuggling a large number of chemicals from Asia to Mexico, and then letting these chemicals enter the laboratories run by Mexican drug trafficking groups. Mexico is the main source of methamphetamine sold on the streets of major cities in the United States.

Law enforcement officials pointed out that Yuzryha Therus, a drug dealer, lived a king's life. After four months of tracking, Mexican police raided Ye's mansion on March 15, 2005, and found 205 million US dollars of drug money, 8 luxury cars, 7 guns and a large number of drug-making equipment. In addition to the huge dollars hidden in the walls, suitcases and cabinets, the police also found another 200,000 euros and157,500 Mexican pesos. At the same time, Mexican police arrested seven drug addicts, including two Mexicans.

At that time, the media described that the seized "drug money" weighed 4,500 pounds, most of which were banknotes with a face value of $ 100. Due to the mountain of banknotes, the police had to dispatch a big truck and transport the huge sum of money to the police headquarters under the escort of 25 police cars.

Ye Li Zhen was gambling in Las Vegas when the mansion was searched.

$205 million in cash was seized in Ye's mansion.

Ye Mansion's discovery of $205 million in cash was a sensational news, and the photo of a room full of $205 million in cash once became the headline picture of major media. On March 16, the Attorney General of Mexico announced that because Ye, a Mexican resident of China, was at large, the Attorney General of Mexico had issued a "red wanted notice" to Interpol.

Las Vegas media revealed that Ye Lizhen was gambling in Las Vegas when Mexican police searched his mansion. The casino staff, who asked for anonymity, revealed that Ye, who gambled at the Venetian casino, had been gambling in the city from 65438+February 2006 to March 2007. If the United States Drug Enforcement Administration had done this a few months ago, it would have been easy to catch him.

According to Las Vegas casino sources, Ye Li Zhen has lost $40 million to $80 million in Las Vegas in the past few years, but a law enforcement official said that Ye Zhen may have lost more money than that. Casino staff said that Ye Zhen was generous, and every time he played baccarat, the bet was $200,000.

Ye is a frequent visitor to Venice Casino. In order to thank him for coming and gambling, the casino presented a Rolls Royce and a Lamborghini sports car. But now it seems that Ye's gambling money in Las Vegas may all come from the drug money he made and sold to the American market.

Methamphetamine is produced in Mexico and sold in the US market.

Mexico's Minister of Justice Medina said that Ye Lizhen Group is connected with one of the largest smuggling groups of pseudoephedrine (the main component of methamphetamine manufacture) in the world. Medina also revealed that Ye Lizhen Group started to operate in 2004, with offices and warehouses in Moreiro Avenue in Mexico City and Guadalajara, the second largest city in Mexico.

It is understood that the reason why Ye Group was uncovered was because of a survey conducted in 65438+February last year. At that time, Mexican authorities found a container filled with several barrels of pseudoephedrine in a cargo yard in the customs office area about 280 kilometers northwest of the southern port city of Acapulco. These chemicals were shipped from Shanghai, China to Hong Kong by a ship flying the British flag, and the final destination was the Mexican port of lazaro Cá rdenas.

The police finally found "Mexico United Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd." which is located in toluca, the capital of Mexico, about 70km west of Mexico City and registered by Ye Li Zhen Group. Mexican police believe that this case shows that illegal drugs involving Asia, Mexico and the United States have reached a huge scale. Ye Li Zhen imported "raw chemicals" from Indian and other Asian companies, and then processed them in Mexican "super lab", making pseudoephedrine into ice poison and selling it in the American market.

The Attorney General's Office of Mexico pointed out that chemicals mainly containing pseudoephedrine were shipped in Shanghai and Hongkong, transported to Long Beach, USA, and then transported to lazaro-Cá rdenas and Manzanillo in Mexico. The reason why it passes through the United States is that this route is more economical for drug dealers, and it is more difficult to be detected because of the large flow of goods between China and the United States. Mexican police said that Ye Lizhen's "United Mexican Medicine Co., Ltd." was legally registered in Mexico, and it was the base that the group was going to use to process drugs in Mexico.

Born in Shanghai, he immigrated to Mexico from 65438 to 0990.

The China businessman was interviewed by the American media in May before the US Drug Enforcement Administration wanted Ye Li Zhen. Ye Li Zhen, who made a high-profile appearance at that time, accused the Mexican government of political persecution and "exposed" the huge sum hidden in his mansion, which was illegal funds for the Mexican presidential campaign.

At that time, Ye's lawyer was interviewed by the Associated Press in his office in new york. The Associated Press said that 44-year-old Ye Zhen spoke slowly, had a kind attitude and was neatly dressed. He calmly described his life, the ins and outs of the huge US dollar bills at home, his contact with some mysterious figures of the Mexican government, and the chilling death threats he received.

Ye was born in Shanghai, immigrated to Mexico from 65438 to 0990, and obtained Mexican nationality in 2002. Ye Lizhen said that he was engaged in the import trade of textiles, clothing and shoes in Mexico, and later made a fortune by reselling goods seized by Mexican customs.

The picture shows Ye Zhen in an interview with American media.

From 65438 to 0997, Ye Kai set up a pharmaceutical company, and his company became one of the main importers of pseudoephedrine compounds in Mexico. Pseudoephedrine is an anti-cold medicine and can also be used to process methamphetamine. Ye Lizhen said that in 2004, his company stopped importing pseudoephedrine because the Mexican government imposed control measures on the substance.

Ye Li Zhen told the Associated Press that he is indeed a rich man. Married Ye Zhen often drives a Lamborghini sports car and takes his wife everywhere. In addition, he is addicted to gambling and often goes to Las Vegas. Ye Li Zhen admitted that his favorite game was "Baccarat", and the bet was $65,438+$5,000. According to the testimony of an intermediary in Las Vegas provided by the police, from 1997 to 2006, Ye lost $4 1 10,000 in Las Vegas.

The Mexican authorities said that the money hidden in Gongye's villa was "the biggest drug money in the history of the world". But Ye Li Zhen said: "I have never sold illegal drugs, and I have never even seen what methamphetamine looks like."

Ye said that the huge sum of money in the mansion was illegal election funds.

Ye Lizhen said that since this "uninvited guest" came to his home, his gambling career has undergone fundamental changes. He said that all his bank accounts in Mexico, China, Hongkong and the United States have been frozen.

The Associated Press reported that Ye now lives in the home of an American friend. "I don't want to live like this. I hope to clarify the facts as soon as possible. If the drug enforcement agency can help me apply, I am willing to cooperate with the FBI or the CIA, and I am happy to tell them everything. " Ye Zhen insisted that he was forced to hide money for the Mexican president.

A Mexican media quoted Ye Lizhen as saying that of the more than $200 million in cash found in his home by federal agents, $654.38+0.5 billion was illegally obtained by Mexican President Calderon during the 2006 election campaign, and he just "collected it for him".

Ye Li Zhen said that the current Mexican Labor Minister alarcon had threatened to kill him if he didn't help hide the money. According to Ye's description, in the summer of 2006, some senior officials of the Mexican government sent canvas bags filled with US dollars to his home, each with US$ 5 million. There are more than a dozen such money-sending actions.

Alarcon, the current minister of labor, said to him when delivering money: "It's time for you to serve the government." The official also made a suicide gesture and said, "Either cooperate or die." Ye Lizhen said that in August 2006, these officials even brought four boxes containing portable air defense missiles and wanted to put them in his house, but he refused. Ye Lizhen said that he had nothing to do with those government officials, and he didn't understand why they chose him to hide money.

The Las Vegas media pointed out that Mexican and American officials at least thought Ye Zhen's statement was rather weak. Mexican Attorney General Moramadi later said in a television interview that the statement that President Calderon's people "forced Ye Li Zhen to hide money" sounded absurd and totally nonsense.

19 tons of pseudoephedrine was investigated before Ye fled to the United States.

Mexican Attorney General Moramadi said that the China businessman set up a large-scale factory in Mexico to process drugs for drug dealers. At present, 80% of methamphetamine on the American market comes from Mexico. "Obviously, this China businessman is involved in the illegal import of pseudoephedrine," the attorney general said. "This huge amount of cash comes from his drug-related activities."

Attorney General Moramadi said that Mexican authorities have launched an investigation into Ye Li Zhen since an illegal ship carrying 65,438+09 tons of pseudoephedrine was found in Cardenas Port of Lazaro in June 2006. At that time, these chemicals will be transported to Ye's pharmaceutical company and then sold to drug dealers to produce methamphetamine. Ye's family hid more than 2 million dollars related to this case, involving 19 tons of pseudoephedrine, which is also the reason why he fled to the United States.

The Associated Press said that regarding this accusation, Ye Lizhen claimed that 19 tons of pseudoephedrine on board was used to produce cold medicine, and the Mexican authorities tampered with the laboratory analysis report of these chemicals. Ye Li Zhen provided two reports to the Associated Press, one of which was issued by a former official of the United States Drug Control Agency. He said that the laboratory analysis reports of these chemicals showed obvious signs of tampering.

The Mexican government said that Ye Zhen's statement was "not only fabricated, but also absurd". A Mexican government announcement said: "These people are trying to blackmail the Mexican government. Their testimony is not only untrue, but also absurd. They just want to stop the government from bringing Ye Li Zhen to justice. "

Mexican media quoted a senior official of the ruling National Action Party as saying that the National Action Party had nothing to hide from Ye Li Zhen's case. "After investigation, we can frankly say that the money has nothing to do with our party. However, in order to raise state funds, we are willing to take over. "

Drug enforcement officials said that Ye earned140,000 in one day.

An investigator of the United States Drug Enforcement Administration revealed that Mexican drug trafficking groups were involved in methamphetamine trading, and Ye Li Zhen is believed to have made hundreds of millions of dollars from it. Mike flanagan, head of the US Drug Control Agency in Las Vegas, told the Las Vegas media, "Although ice is not only sold to Nevada, Nevada is a transit point for ice to the United States."

The United States Drug Enforcement Administration knows that Ye Li Zhen brought 32 tons of pseudoephedrine into Mexico in 2004, and then he continued to bring pseudoephedrine into Mexico with a fake trademark. In March, 2007, Mexican law enforcement officers seized 0/9 tons of pseudoephedrine/KLOC-0 transported from China to Mexico via Long Beach, USA, and the drug trafficking case of Ye was solved.

Las Vegas media reported that Ye built a 654.38+05,000-square-foot high-tech factory in the suburb of Mexico City, nominally to manufacture cold medicine, but American investigators are convinced that this factory is actually a "super meth lab". It is estimated that Ye has imported 60 tons of pseudoephedrine into Mexico, which is enough to provide 80% methamphetamine to the American market. American anti-drug officials estimated that Ye's factory may have processed methamphetamine, which made the China businessman earn $6.5438+0.4 million a day.

Joaquin guzman loera, the boss of Sinaloa Cartel, is the Mexican gang leader involved in this drug trafficking, which has become one of the largest drug trafficking gangs in Mexico and even Latin America.

With the growth of business, Roella quietly extended his tentacles to China. In Chinese mainland, Taiwan Province Province, Hongkong and Chinese mainland, Roella, who expanded the sources of drugs everywhere, soon got involved with these criminal gangs, because some evil forces mastered the technology of making methamphetamine.

Ye's drug trafficking case was solved, which made loera's drug trafficking industry chain known to the world. According to the Mexican police, on the surface, Ye's registered "United Mexican Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd." is a humble pharmaceutical company. But in fact, it is the "super laboratory" used by Roella and Ye Li Zhen to process methamphetamine.

Usually, after receiving the drug order from Lola, Ye will send people to India, China and other Asian countries to purchase raw materials, ship them in Shanghai and Hong Kong, and then transport them to Long Beach, USA, and then to Mexico. After the raw materials arrive in Mexico, Laura will order his men to cooperate with Ye to pick up the goods. After the raw materials are processed into finished methamphetamine by "super lab", they are transported to the warehouse in loera at the first time. Soon, newly processed methamphetamine will appear in the drug market.
