Important brother of Mexican drug cartel lords arrested in Oklahoma

Police raided a number of locations including a racetrack in New Mexico. Among several people arrested was Jose Trevino, a brother of a suspected Zetas leader Miguel Angel Trevino, who has been indicted but remains at large. US authorities say the case shows how Mexican gangs are able to infiltrate legitimate American businesses. Jose Trevino and his wife, Zulema, were arrested at their stables near Lexington, south of Oklahoma City. Federal agents also made arrests in California and Texas, as well as the Ruidoso Downs racetrack in New Mexico. A total of 14 people have been indicted with money-laundering. Prosecutors say Miguel Angel and Jose, along with another brother Oscar Omar, used drugs money to buy American quarter horses, which race over short distances.
