Maxwell Sterling Jensen, 25, and James Lael Jensen, 68, from Sandy, Utah, were charged with conspiring to support the Jalisco New Generation cartel, designated as a terrorist organization, and related money laundering and smuggling offenses. They allegedly concealed the origins of proceeds from smuggled crude oil and facilitated the fraudulent entry of thousands of oil shipments through their Texas-based enterprise, Arroyo Terminals. Following their arrest, authorities seized four tank barges and several vehicles, with potential prison sentences exceeding 20 years and a $300 million judgment sought if convicted.
