Mexico speeds up extraditions of cartel bosses to U.S

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - The government of Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has stepped up extraditions of suspected drug cartel leaders to the United States, official data show, as Washington presses for increased bilateral cooperation on security.

Last year, Mexico's government extradited 58 people wanted in the United States, according to figures from the attorney general's office seen by Reuters. By Feb. 21, Mexico had already sent 30 people across the border in 2020, the figures showed.
