Video translation is as follows:
Sicario: The Northeast Cartel distances itself from the unfounded accusations spread by some media outlets regarding the seizure of fentanyl pills with the initials CDN and 80 by the Canadian police. It is important to note that the initials mentioned do not correspond to our organization. They are used by the pharmaceutical company Purdue Pharma to identify 80-milligram OxyContin pills. Criminal groups in Canada have falsified these brands to market fentanyl pills.
Since 2016, Canadian authorities have frequently confiscated pills laced with fentanyl with the collaboration of the DEA. However, we have recently been singled out without solid grounds simply because of the similarity in the initials used since that same year.
Alejandro Domínguez: Fentanyl pills from the Northeast Cartel, a Mexican cartel originating in Tamaulipas, are being distributed on the streets of Vancouver. The most recent evidence was obtained in March from a citizen who turned in a dark green tablet with the letters CDN Cartel del Noreste on one side and the number 80 on the other.
Sicario: The CDN has no connection to the production, distribution, or transportation of the dangerous and deadly drug fentanyl. Any individual found selling or transporting this substance in our area of operations is severely punished. We urgently call on the media to verify the information with the competent authorities in Canada and the United States before spreading false news that implicates us in cases in which we are not involved. Those responsible for this criminal activity are other criminal groups that the DEA has identified that poison American and Canadian citizens with this type of drugs. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in the correct dissemination of this information.
Sincerely, Cartel del Noreste
