To which investigation does this alert relate?
Between April and December 2004, the FBI and other agencies investigated the activities of an alleged drug-trafficking and money-laundering organisation. As a result, charges were brought against 23 people. Vargas is listed amongst those who remain on the public wanted list. [1]
A federal arrest warrant for him was issued on 3 October 2006 by the Northern District of Illinois. The overall financial scope of the investigation does not mean that Vargas himself faces all the charges levelled against the other defendants: his file does not include a separate charge of money laundering.

Identifiers from the source
The FBI has published his photograph, his date of birth (24 July 1974) and the name Armando De La Mora. Private family details from an older wanted notice are not reproduced here: an individual warrant, name and photograph are sufficient to verify his criminal status. [1]
