On 1 June 2004, U.S. President George W. Bush ordered the United States Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control to sanction Valencia Cornelio under the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act. He was sanctioned along with two criminal entities, the Tijuana Cartel and the Juárez Cartel,[b] and seven more individuals: Eduardo Ramón Arellano Félix, Francisco Javier Arellano Félix, Norris Nembhard, Fernando Melciades Zevallos González, Leebert Ramcharan, Iqbal Mirchi, and Haji Bashar.[13] As a result of the sanction, Valencia Cornelio's U.S.-based assets were frozen,[14] and U.S. citizens and companies were prohibited from engaging in business activities with him.[15]

Arrest
[edit ]On 15 December 2003, members of the Grupo Aeromóvil de Fuerzas Especiales, an elite squadron of the Mexican Army, arrested Valencia Cornelio and seven of his alleged associates inside a restaurant in Tlajomulco de Zúñiga, Jalisco. In a press conference on 17 December, Secretary of Defense Gerardo Clemente Ricardo Vega García, Attorney General Rafael Macedo de la Concha and Deputy Attorney General José Luis Santiago Vasconcelos confirmed that the operation was carefully planned and dealt a significant blow to drug trafficking operations in Mexico.
