MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico has extradited a woman wanted in Texas for allegedly smuggling $2 million in cocaine-trafficking profits for a drug cartel.
Olga Lerma allegedly is a top financial officer for Ignacio Coronel, a suspected leader of the Pacific drug cartel. She was captured in western Jalisco state in June.
The Attorney General's Office says Lerma was handed over to U.S. marshals in Mexico City on Thursday. She faces trial in Texas.
