According to the indictment, he even paid for 220 pounds of cocaine assuming that the substance had been imported into the US.

Mr. Campo has been accused of conspiracy to commit money laundering, conspiracy to distribute cocaine, crime to provide material support to a criminal organization, and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

The State Department has designated the Jalisco New Generation Cartel as a foreign terrorist business, and the prosecution states that it continues to carry out its drug trafficking activities through the use of violence and bribes from corrupt officials.
