The Treasury department has accused a Colombian soccer team of being a front for the Norte de Valle drug cartel, headed by Specifically Designated Narcotics Trafficker Carlos Alberto "Beto" Renteria. The accusation has led one member of the Colombian football federation's executive board to resign, and will result in a freezing of the assets of the soccer team.
