Over this period, González García managed to distribute thousands of kilograms of cocaine and launder over $50 million back to cartel accounts in Mexico.
In 2022, after pleading guilty to federal drug conspiracy and money laundering charges, González García was sentenced to 30 years in federal prison and fined $1.5 million. His arrest in 2018 by DEA agents in Guatemala marked the culmination of his criminal activities, which had significantly enriched both himself and his cartel partners, such as the Sinaloa cartel and the New Generation cartel.
