Editing Alfredo Beltrán Leyva (section)

== Warrant and arrest ==
Alfredo
<nowiki> </nowiki>Beltrán Leyva was arrested in Culiacán with three members of his 
security detail on January 21, 2008, with two suitcases filled with 
$900,000 in cash and luxury watches.<sup>[6][7]</sup>
 Police also found 20 fragmentation grenades, automatic weapons, rifles,
<nowiki> </nowiki>40 bulletproof vests, eight of which bore the initials FEDA, which was 
likely a Spanish acronym for "Arturo's
<nowiki> </nowiki>Special Forces." Authorities also found an unspecified amount of cash 
in one of his homes. At the time of his arrest, Alfredo was the top 
lieutenant of Joaquín "Chapo" Guzmán Loera.<sup>[8][9]</sup> Édgar Eusebio Millán Gómez, top commander of Mexico's national federal police and Spokesman for the Arrest would be assassinated five months later.<sup>[10][11]</sup>
On 14 October 2014, a federal court rejected Beltrán Leyva's writ of ''amparo'' (effectively equivalent to an injunction)
<nowiki> </nowiki>preventing his extradition to the United States. The court rejected it 
under the rationale that it believed that the former drug lord met all 
the legal requirements for his extradition.<sup>[12]</sup>

=== Kingpin Act sanction ===
On 3 December 2009, the United States Department of the Treasury sanctioned Beltrán Leyva under the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act
<nowiki> </nowiki>(sometimes referred to simply as the "Kingpin Act"), for his 
involvement in drug trafficking along with twenty-one other 
international criminals and ten foreign entities.<sup>[13]</sup>
 The act prohibited U.S. citizens and companies from doing any kind of 
business activity with him, and virtually froze all his assets in the 
U.S.<sup>[14]</sup>
