The Zheng drug trafficking organization was hardly clandestine. The Shanghai-based network sold synthetic narcotics, including deadly fentanyl, on websites posted in 35 languages, from Arabic and English to Icelandic and Uzbek.

The criminals "have the collaboration of customs authorities and members of the Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation cartels in Mexico," Oughton said, according to Fox News.
