Fugitive arrested and extradited to Tucson, co-conspirators remain at large

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) apprehended and extradited a fugitive from Mexico to Tucson.

The arrest and extradition took place on Wednesday, November 23.

According to a press release, the fugitive, 45-year-old Manuel Gortari-Redondo, fled the United States in 2013.

This was in regards to Gortari-Redondo's involvement in a criminal enterprise, but did not show up for his court appearance in June of 2013.

However, the trial continued without his presence and the court sentenced him to 162 months in prison.

Earlier this year, the FBI caught wind of Gortari-Redondo's whereabouts and worked with Mexican officials to apprehend him.

Despite the FBI arresting Gortari-Redondo, two of his co-conspirators remain at large.

The co-conspirators are Gortari-Redondo's wife, Sandra Mendivil-Redondo, and Mario Carmona Rodriguez.

As they remain at large, there is a $3,500 reward for each fugitive.
