Chinese graduate accused of becoming Mexico's fentanyl king
Zhang Zhidong, a Chinese national and graduate of Peking University, is accused of leading a significant fentanyl trafficking operation linking Chinese chemical suppliers to Mexican drug laboratories. Arrested in Mexico in 2024, he escaped before being recaptured and extradited to the US in 2025, where he faces charges of drug trafficking, money laundering, and operating a global narcotics enterprise. Authorities allege he facilitated the import of precursor chemicals used to produce fentanyl and was central to the international supply chain that contributed to hundreds of kilograms of fentanyl and other drugs entering the US market.
