SEATTLE, WA— These fugitives were charged in June with federal drug trafficking offenses, along with 10 other members of a large-scale drug trafficking organization with ties to Mexico.
The indictments and arrests were a follow-up to the April 7, 2021 takedown involving 24 defendants. Both Moreno Aguirre and Duran are Mexican nationals who are not legally present in the U.S.
Moreno Aguirre is last known to live and frequent the Des Moines, Federal Way, and Kent, Washington areas and work in carpeting, construction, and home remodeling. Duran is last known to live and work at restaurants in the Issaquah, Washington area. Both men were born and have family in Mexico, and Duran may have fled there to escape arrest.
