On October 27, 2026, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced state racketeering charges against a group alleged to be connected to a cross‑border pipeline operated for the Mexican Sinaloa Cartel.
The Florida Attorney General's Office said the charges stem from the group's purported role in a pipeline operation that supports the cartel's drug trafficking, and noted the office is continuing criminal prosecutions of individuals tied to the cartel's transnational pipeline network.
