An alleged Mexican drug cartel leader was extradited to the Unites States over the weekend, according to federal prosecutors.

Jesús Ricardo Patrón Sánchez was allegedly the leader of Mexico’s H-2 drug cartel.

His nicknames included “Diabolic,” “James Bond” and “Xmen.” He allegedly sat atop a “brutally violent” narcotics trafficking enterprise “that flooded American streets with dangerous drugs,” federal prosecutors said Monday.

Sánchez, 39, was arrested in Mexico in 2019. Over the weekend he pleaded not guilty in a Brooklyn federal court to drug trafficking, firearms and money laundering charges.

H-2 is based in Nayarit and Sinaloa and is an outgrowth of the Sinaloa cartel.
