Mexican authorities have detained Janos Balla, a 48-year-old Hungarian national on the European Union's most-wanted fugitives list, in the southern resort state of Quintana Roo. Balla, who uses the alias "Daniel Takacs" and carries a six-year EU prison sentence for drug smuggling, was located through intelligence-sharing with Hungarian security agencies and arrested under an Interpol red notice; he has been handed to Mexico's immigration authority pending deportation to Europe. The arrest is the latest in a string of high-profile captures under President Claudia Sheinbaum, whose administration has sharply escalated action against drug trafficking networks under sustained pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump, who has threatened military intervention and used tariffs as leverage in the two countries' ongoing anti-cartel cooperation.
