U.S. Atty. Jeanine Pirro Announces Seizure of Two Big Drug Shipments from China Directed to Mexico

EXCERPT:

PIRRO: “Today we announce a very significant seizure of two shipments of chemicals shipped on two different vessels on the high seas and route to the Sinaloa cartel in Mexico. From China to Mexico, the port of lading was Shanghai, China, the port of discharge, Mexico. What am I talking about? I'm talking about 363,000 pounds of benzyl alcohol, along with 334,000 pounds of N-methylformamide. They would have been used to make 420,000 pounds of methamphetamine, which would have a street value here in Houston of $569 million.”
