The governor of Sinaloa and nine other Mexican officials were charged with drug trafficking and weapons offenses in a U.S. indictment unsealed Wednesday in New York, accused of aiding in the massive importation of illicit narcotics into the United States.

The indictment portrayed a close alignment between Sinaloa cartel factions, including Los Chapitos, and several Mexican officials who helped ship fentanyl, heroin, cocaine and meth into the United States.
