The Mexican government is requesting information from the US Bureau of Prisons as to why a brutal drug-trafficker’s name has disappeared from a list of inmates in the agency’s custody.

“There are a number of reasons why an inmate may be listed as ‘not in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons,’” the spokesperson said. “Inmates who were previously in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons and who have not served their sentence may be out of custody for a period of time to attend court hearings, receive medical treatment or for other reasons. We do not provide specific information about the status of prisoners who are not in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons for security or privacy reasons.”

Assuming Valdez Villarreal has not been moved, he is being held at the Coleman II high-security penitentiary in central Florida.
