An alleged violent Venezuelan gang leader who authorities say has deep ties to drug trafficking and terrorism has been added to the FBI’s notorious Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list and was sanctioned by the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

Giovanni Vicente Mosquera Serrano is a senior figure in the brutal Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang, according to the FBI Houston. He’s the first known member of the transnational gang to make the list.

The charges against Mosquera Serrano include conspiring to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization, along with coordinating the trafficking of cocaine from Colombia into the United States.

Mosquera Serrano, 37, is the 536th person added to the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list since it began in 1950. He allegedly continues to lead operations for Tren de Aragua, a gang that federal officials now label a foreign terrorist group.

The U.S. Treasury also sanctioned Mosquera Serrano in relation to his alleged TdA activity.

“TdA remains focused on terrorizing our communities and facilitating the flow of illicit narcotics into our country, relying on key leaders like Mosquera Serrano to finance and oversee their violent operations,” said Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. “Treasury, in close coordination with our partners in U.S. law enforcement, will continue to use all available tools to disrupt the group’s criminal enterprise and Make America Safe Again.”

Mosquera Serrano joins two other fugitives on the FBI’s Top Ten connected to international criminal organizations, Wilver Villegas-Palomino, an alleged member of Colombia’s ELN, and Yulan Adonay Archaga Carias, the alleged MS-13 leader in Honduras.

The FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list has proven to be one of the FBI’s most effective tools, with 497 of 536 fugitives being located or captured. More than 160 arrests have been made possible thanks to public tips, according to the bureau.
