MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – A 39-year-old woman is the first Mexican national to be indicted in the United States on charges of providing material support to a cartel designated as a foreign terrorist organization, the U.S.

Department of Justice said on Friday, citing Texas court documents.

According to the statement, Maria Del Rosario Navarro-Sanchez is accused of conspiring with others to provide grenades to Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion (CJNG), a powerful Mexican cartel that the U.S.

in February designated as a terrorist organization alongside other criminal groups across Latin America.
