Edgar Valdez Villarreal is one of the most popular and richest Drug Lord who was born on August 11, 1973 in Laredo, Texas, United States.
Mexican police had been searching for Valdez since his 2002 indictment on two counts of conspiracy with intent to distribute marijuana. In their investigation, police raided homes that he had rented, locating grenades, automatic weapons and police uniforms. In May 2009 Mexican authorities listed him as one of their 24 most wanted drug traffickers, and posted a 30-million- peso (US$2.3 million) reward for information leading to his capture.
According to Mexican media reports, shortly after the death of cartel leader Arturo Beltrán Leyva on December 16, 2009, Valdez began to dispute the cartel’s leadership and its territory; almost a decade ago one faction was led by Valdez and Gerardo Alvarez-Vasquez, while the other was led by Arturo’s brother Héctor Beltrán Leyva and his lieutenant Sergio Villarreal Barragán.
