The 24-year-old performed at an annual fair in Aguascalientes state this month just days after the local authorities warned musicians not to play narco songs.

That was followed by similar measures in other states, including Aguascalientes, Queretaro and Mexico state.

Ortiz, one of Del Records’ artists, had been scheduled to perform at a concert organized by Pérez in the state of Aguascalientes, Mexico, when the promoter was sanctioned, FBI Special Agent Lauren Radke wrote in an affidavit filed in court.

Ortiz ultimately did perform at the concert Perez staged in Aguascalientes, Radke wrote.

Del Villar’s credit card was used to pay for a private jet that transported Ortiz from Van Nuys Airport to the performance in Aguascalientes, according to the U.S. attorney’s office.
