A 47-year-old Hispanic who was wanted by the US Drug Enforcement Administration for money laundering in Massachusetts has been arrested in Puerto Rico

Juan Carlos Guadalupe-Nuñez was arrested by Homeland Security Investigations agents near the Villa Prades shopping center in Rio Piedras on a federal warrant issued in Massachusetts. The warrant charged Guadalupe-Nuñez with conspiracy to launder money, money laundering, and aiding and abetting, according to a statement by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which oversees HSI. After his arrest, officials found a loaded 9mm handgun in Guadalupe-Nuñez’s vehicle. Guadalupe-Nuñez was listed on the US Drug Enforcement Administration’s New England office’s most wanted list. His listing said that he was considered armed and dangerous. Guadalupe-Nuñez was taken into custody by the US Marshals Service and later transferred to the Guaynabo Metropolitan Detention center to be held while his case is pending, officials said.
