MEXICO CITY-Juan Manuel Álvarez Inzunza, “King Midas”, alleged money launderer of Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, is very close to being extradited to the United States for allowing the deadline to litigate against the Foreign Ministry. María Dolores Núñez Soloo, Judge Cua RTO District of Amparo in criminal matters in Mexico City, dismissed the demand for guarantees of the Sinaloan, for presenting it 7 days after expires the term to combat the order of extradition. Alvarez Inzunza already challenged in the disposal of amparo and his fate will define a criminal collegiate court. If the judge’s decision is ratified, the extraditable one will be handed over to American justice. Given for dead in July 2011, after an attack in Culiacan, Sinaloa, Alvarez Inzunza was arrested on 26 March 2016 in Oaxaca, where Vacacionaba.
