MS-13 Boss on FBI’s Ten Most Wanted List Captured “Major Victory for a Safer America”

By The Blog Source

FBI Director Kash Patel announced Tuesday's extradition of Francisco Javier Román-Bardales, one of the top MS-13 commanders on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list, from Mexico to the United States. Román-Bardales was arrested in Veracruz and is now in the custody of the United States, where he will face terrorism charges.

Román-Bardales was captured in Mexico as part of a coordinated law enforcement operation and promptly transferred to U.S. authorities. He is accused of leading MS-13's illicit activities, which include drug distribution, human trafficking, and violent attacks, in the US, Mexico, and El Salvador. The FBI worked closely with Mexican law enforcement, especially the SSPC and FGE teams, and the U.S. Justice Department to secure his extradition.

FBI Director Kash Patel announced Tuesday that Francisco Javier Román-Bardales, 5'5 (1.65 ), one of the nation's most wanted fugitives, had been successfully extradited from Mexico and was now in the United States. Román-Bardales, a prominent member of the infamous MS-13 gang, was captured in Veracruz and extradited quickly thanks to the joint efforts of Mexican and American authorities.

Patel praised the mission's execution and commended U.S. personnel and Mexican law officials for their cooperation. He said, "This is a major victory for a safer America and for our law enforcement partners."

Román-Bardales has been charged in the United States with several serious offenses, including racketeering, human trafficking, and conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists. He oversees MS-13's extensive networks of extortion and drug trafficking and is accused of organizing deadly attacks against civilians and other rival gangs.

The Trump administration's identification of MS-13 as a terrorist organization has broadened the legal basis for targeting its members. Some officials claim that this classification would allow the United States to target Mexican cartel activity.

Román-Bardales' extradition is a significant step in the ongoing efforts to stop MS-13's operations and hold its leaders accountable. Although the FBI has emphasized its continued dedication to combating transnational crime, it has not yet released any new details about his ongoing case.
