Alleged drug queen’s US visa cancelled

Department of Justice (DOJ) Undersecretary Markk Perete has confirmed that the United States (US) visa of alleged drug queen Guia Gomez Castro has been rescinded. The revocation came after the justice department requested the same from the US. In light of Castro’s flight to the US last month, Perete added that the Bureau of Immigration is now working with US immigration authorities to deport her. There are three warrants of arrest issued on the suspected drug queen arising from her involvement in different cases.
