drug cartels

A heroin epidemic has killed tens of thousands of people in the United States in recent years and led to a surge in demand for Mexican heroin.

The families of U.S. citizens murdered by drug gangs in Mexico claim the bank let cartels launder billions of dollars to operate their business.

The bodies have not been positively identified as those of two Australian surfers who went missing two weeks ago in Mexico's violence-plagued Sinaloa state.

Until the end of April 93 of the 122 most dangerous criminals had been arrested or killed.
