A major drug and kidnapping bust rocked the Twin Cities, exposing an eleven-person cartel-linked crew trafficking meth from Mexico between last July and this January. The operation unraveled after police responded to a kidnapping allegedly ordered by the cartel to collect a debt — and things got violent. Richar Mujica, the first arrested and now sentenced to 12 years, had damning photos on his phone showing the victim — and admitted the man was likely to be hurt or worse. That led cops to the victim and two others, triggering a chain of arrests that brought in eight more suspects, tying them all to a dangerous drug ring operating right here in the metro.
