Raúl Granados-Rendón, the Mexican fugitive who was extradited to the United States on Friday, could receive life in prison if found guilty of the 21 charges he faces, including criminal association and conspiracy to force sexual trafficking, fraud and coercion, sex trafficking of minors, interstate prostitution and human trafficking.
Granados-Rendón, 30, was on the most wanted list of the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and was under investigation for running a sex trafficking organization based in Tlaxcala, Mexico.
Granados-Rendón was arrested in Mexico in September 2016 after a joint investigation by several Mexican and US government agencies, an operation that led to his extradition. He was indicted on Saturday in Federal Court in Brooklyn, New York.
Between October 1998 and June 2011, according to authorities, Granados-Rendón and other members of his organization illegally transported women to the United States, where they forced them to prostitute themselves in cities like New York. If the women did not cooperate, members of the organization beat, raped, and even threatened their children and relatives in Mexico.
As reported by the newspaper El Universal de México, the special agents who investigated Granados-Rendón identified and rescued more than 20 victims - all Mexican - and arrested more than a dozen traffickers and traffickers who are members of or associated with that family..
"This extradition represents the latest chapter in our multi-year effort to persecute the Granados trafficking organization," said Robert L. Capers, prosecutor for the Eastern District of New York. “And it demonstrates once again our willingness to seek justice for the victims of modern slavery. We will not rest until those who seek to profit from forced slavery are brought to justice.”
