Fausto Isidro Meza Flores, known as 'El Chapo Isidro' or 'Chapito Isidro', has been accused by the FBI of drug trafficking and possession of firearms. In May 2012, charges were brought against him in a U.S. court. A resident of Mexico, he is considered dangerous, possibly armed, and a flight risk. He is accused of conspiring to manufacture and distribute cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, and marijuana in the United States between 2005 and 2019. The FBI is offering a reward of up to 5 million dollars for information leading to his arrest.
Acting FBI Director Brian Driscoll urges anyone with information on the whereabouts of Fausto Isidro Meza to contact the agency to assist in his capture. Meza Flores's criminal organization, in addition to drug trafficking, is attributed with criminal activities such as kidnapping, extortion, torture, and murder. He is particularly noted for trafficking fentanyl amid accusations from President Donald Trump regarding the trafficking of this substance from Mexico to the United States.
Fausto Isidro Meza Flores, 42 years old, is described as a Mexican man with dark brown hair, brown eyes, and a height of 1.68 meters. The FBI included him in its list of the ten most wanted fugitives for his role in drug trafficking into the United States. Others on the list include Ruja Ignatova, accused of massive fraud with her company OneCoin, and Yulan Andony Archaga Carías, alias 'Porky', an alleged leader of MS-13 accused of organized crime and drug trafficking.
Other fugitives sought by the FBI include Alexis Flores, linked to the kidnapping and murder of a girl in 2000; Omar Alexander Cárdenas, for a murder in California; Bhadreshkumar Chetanbhai Patel, accused of killing his wife in Maryland; Alejandro Castillo, for the murder of his ex-girlfriend; and Vitel'Homme Innocent, leader of the Kraze Barye gang linked to kidnappings of Christian missionaries. Wilver Villegas Palomino, a Colombian linked to the ELN, is also on the list.
