US extradites Chinese-born businessman to Mexico

US authorities extradited on Tuesday Chinese-Mexican businessman Zhenli Ye Gon to Mexico to face drug-related charges, nine years after a whopping $205 million were seized from his mansion in the capital. Salvador Sandoval Silva, a deputy attorney general, showed a video of Ye Gon arriving on a plane and said he would be taken to the Altiplano maximum-security prison near Mexico City. The Chinese-born man, who had a pharmaceutical company in Mexico, was arrested near Washington in July 2007.
