He was transferred to Bexar
County, before the hearing.
Valdez Villarreal appeared
before federal judge Hon. William Simon. Duffey Jr., along with his father in law, Carlos
Montemayor González, one of his alleged accomplices, who was arrested and then
extradited with Valdez.
Valdez was extradited, with
12 others, from Mexico to the United States on September 30th.
The 42 year old Valdez has
charges he must face in multiple federal.
In the Georgia federal district he and five others are accused of
distributions of tons of cocaine to the Eastern United States between the years
of 2004 and 2006. In the eastern district of Louisiana he faces charges
stemming from a 2002 indictment.
Valdez was arrested in
Mexico on August 30, 2010 and has been detained in Altiplano No1 prison in the
state of Mexico since that date, fighting extradition. His last appeal was struck down over a year
ago, but Mexico did not release him for extradition until September.
Valdez is known as the
American achieving the highest status within a Mexican cartel.

Valdez' notorious acts of violence
While in Mexico Valdez
became notorious for some of the most gruesome acts of violence.
Those who knew him and later ended up sitting
on a bench facing prosecutors of SIEDO, gave information that sicarios under the
leadership of Valdez conducted routine
executions of innocent people without hesitation, including 24 farmers and masons from La Marquesa.
In 2006, Mateo Díaz López, a
former military and a commander for Los Zetas, was arrested and told SIEDO that
"La Barbie" was responsible for filming the execution of four
sicarios. This video was sent to The Dallas Morning News on December 1, 2005.
"I know that that the
Preventive Police and the AFIs abducted nine members of my group (Zetas) in a
nightclub in Zihuatanejo, these men were in that city in order to fight for
control of the plaza.”
"Once abducted, they
took them to the city of Acapulco and there, they delivered the men to "La
Barbie," who later released a video in which four of the men are seen
being interviewed. Among them were
"El Peterete," Vizcarra, and another man that I don't remember his
alias. On the video these men said many things about Los Zetas," said
Mateo Díaz on July 17, 2006.
According to Mateo during
the interrogation, "La Barbie" forced the gunmen to say that Osiel
was receiving protection from Santiago Vasconcelos, then head of SIEDO, with
full intention to discredit him.
After interrogators, who are
never revealed, (one is alleged to be
"La Barbie") question the men, the video ends when a pistol enters
the frame and shoots this man believed to be Vizcarra in the head (at left).
"In the video itself one can
hear the voice of "La Barbie" directing the men on what to say and
one of the persons shown is executed and turns out to be Vizcarra. Later on I
learned that they had also executed all of the rest of the men and their bodies
disappeared. Also in this video my companions say that the attorney Vasconcelos
was involved with us (Zetas), which is not true, as this was only a strategy of
"La Barbie"' to force the PGR to go after us," said Mateo Díaz
Below is the video warning
it does show footage of Vizcarra being executed.
Correction: Bexar County is San Antonio, Texas right?
ReplyDeletethere is a bexar county hail in georgia also. I texted lucio for clarification and meanwhile adjusted the sentence to say bexar county...he was in San Antonio so you may be correct.
DeleteHe was transferred from Bexar county TX jail (San Antonio) to the US District Court for the Northern District of GA, based in Atlanta. That's all. There is no Bexar County GA.
DeleteAfter a person is found guilty , during the sentencing phase , I believe a persons reputation and "hearsay" from reliable sources can be presented . I would certainty hope a person to be of the character of "La Barbie" wouldn't be turned lose after a slap on his hand .Bet that's why he is toten his bible . Wants to show how he is a changed man . Probably isnt repenting to god , just justifying to him . Poor old Barbie In the US a person can be convicted of murder if he can be proven to have sold drugs that resulted in someone's death .Anybody moving that much has almost certainly done that . I think the penal codes should be revised and it should be based on aggregation instead of proven results.
DeleteThe U.S. would not have extradited him if they could not build a case and or plea him down but I can't think of any high profile cartel leader that he can inform on that is still alive or in U.S. custody.
DeleteI'm not a stranger to violence, I can also appreciate that the "Barbie" video is posted on BB, but can't watch it, because the visuals and the audio will never leave me. Just going by the article itself, I have to say I think Barbie should remain in incarcerated for the rest of his days. He qualifies as a mass murder, why should he ever be released from prison?
ReplyDeleteBut he did that in mexico. Here he just being tried for drug trafficking
DeleteBarbie may be warehoused and muffled on the US to save the mexican politicians that took his and arturo beltran leyva's dineros for mordidas, commisions, and quotas and are still trafficking drugs to the US in their own now, and since they were partners of ABL and la barbie...
Delete9:36 AM, So, if he serves out a sentence of some sort in the US, he then gets returned to Mexico to stand trial for murders?
DeleteUnless Mex.made a deal with US,to not get death. Then he can be charged with murder. If someone dies in a let's say in the commission of a crime. He'toast. I' prefer life in a Super Max for him! Much greather tgan death. Viba Mexico....keep them coming.
DeleteSuper Max La Barbie
DeleteWhy didnt they killl all these coakroaches why waste money and time with them i have never understood this they are cancer to mankind
ReplyDeleteThey can't execute these men because of the type of crime that they are being prosecuted for, which often involves drugs. But with that said imagine that people weren't afforded excuses, example: "I grew up with no opportunities", often i find myself thinking why not execute "lifers"or those who spend their life in and out of correctional facilities. What the hell are we doing filling warehouses with scum, when we can do to these men, and women, what the executioner did to the man in the video. This would send a clear message, as well as save time and money. But then again their family members would appear on television crying, informing us that they were good people that just needed one more chance...you've heard and lived the cycle...
DeleteCorporate Corrections of Amerikkka makes more money keeping them alive, which also gives hope to other narcos of getting away with whatever...turning religious zealot helps too...
DeleteStraight up 2:12
DeleteMaybe Barbie can talk his sentence down . Its a shame for a fine young man to die of old age in prison . Maybe in 40 or 50 years they will set him free . By that time he will have studied his bible pretty well and will understand why he is going to hell .
ReplyDeleteYoung? He's like 42 years old....
Delete10:36 la Barbie is going to heaven because, for your information he has repented and mended his ways, AND carries a bible, can't you see, he is a man of God now!!!
DeleteYoung? He's like 42 years old
Delete2:48am
DeleteYou little young punks, 42 is still young if you don't let life run you down by then. Lets see how it feels when you're that age.
Two of the men in the video are cousins. There is another video on YouTube in which the guy that gets shot in the dome is being interviewed a couple of years before his demise. The video has been available for years in El Universal website but its a bit hard to find.
ReplyDeleteIf they do make deal with this POS he is going to get life without parole in SuperMax regardless of the info he gives. Saves him from a death penalty, federal judges do not excuse executions and in fact enhance since he made videos. Hopefully someone kills his scum ass while incarcerated. We do not need scum like him to be able to live. His immediate family needs to be sentenced to death as accessories. He is trying to live by snitching but if the USA can get any...any death penalty case on him that is what they will go for. Cooperation will be live in solitary Super Max USA. DEA wants to kill this POS for what he has done and cooperation will only be LIFE without parole.
ReplyDeleteThey should prove to us good ole American citizens that the justice system really works and try every president of the United states with mass murder every general of military rank with mass murder and every us corporation with rape and robbery of human resources that forces other nations citizens to have to resort to a sub human way of life. Or better yet take away all bombs and long range weaponry and forcr those same groups of people to take those same resources by hand MAN TO MAN and see the outcome that follows. Wont be the same good ole America! La Barbie should be kicked in the ass for imitating real killers who annihilate nations of people.
DeleteLuv the concept 9:46.
Delete@11:03 PM, This thinking makes more sense than some other ideas going around. I wonder, tho, how the legal dance goes for a US citizen extradited from Mexico to USA in respect to the death penalty uses contained in the Kingpins Act as well as under US Terror laws. La Barbie best hope the death penalty is taken off the table or he could well get strapped to it. IF "Chapo Snitched," then, there's not much more to know, is there! What could a stone cold freak like la Barbie possibly add to the world's número uno drug lord's already shared intel? Guess we'll have to wait and see.
DeleteIt's true, he has really no gain from his play. Minimum he will get will be an offer of life without parole. The videos and taped conversations of hits is a no brainer for the federal justice here, that is an automatic life enhancement. He's done now for good, so maybe he should just ask for a lethal injection. LOL
DeleteAt 9:46....good luck with yours rediculous ramblings ever coming close to reality....your comment is rediculous and your hate for the US seems to have clouded any sensible thought in your brain....
Delete@9:46 Weapons have existed since the beginning of time. Sadly they will continue to exist until the end of time. And apparently you're living in a fantasy that will never exist.
DeleteI love the US, but the US government fuck-ups and its fucked up rogue agentzz prove that they need to do a lot of "in home" house cleaning before they go around accusing their own henchmen and warriors like la barbie...
Delete--It will do a lot of good to the US when and if their rogue agentzz shed their snake skins...
9:46 ... supply and demand. You'll never understand it.
Delete8:42 You would understand "creating a demand" would you?
Delete--Like inventing crack for the masses and increasing their welfare payments to help,
Widely documented "gossip, conspiracy theories and true lies" affirm and prove it, shit ran downhill there...from the headquarters of the righteous saying "just say no"
@2:11 PM, Hells bells, I am a born and bred, privileged American, deeply embarrassed by what the United States is, today. War profiteers, racists, homophobes, spacecookies and climate criminals, who have the unmitigated gall to tell the rest of the world how it should live. The USA is like a socio-psychotic adolescent on crack running around with a gun. What's good about the states gets lost to madness, greed and willful stupidity, that little something we like to call patriotism. For the most part, we're idiots.
DeleteLove your comment Dude!
Delete9:32 is a trained narco guerrilla from ayotzinapa, the way they talk is why the mexican governing narco-mierdocracia hates their guts...
Delete9.32
DeleteHells bells, I am a born and bred, privileged American, deeply embarrassed by what the United States is, today. War profiteers, racists, homophobes, spacecookies and climate criminals, who have the unmitigated gall to tell the rest of the world how it show the live''
I would put money that this comment is from millie,strange case that one,slightly obsessed to put it mildly
MX does not have death penalty....and thus an agreement that anyone they extradite to US cannot receive the death penalty
Delete8:21, No joda.
Delete2:23, Good one!
Sincerely yours,
General Cienpedos
Didn't he admit and confess to a considerable amount of narco related crimes in Mexico? The popular "narco polo" interview, specifically.
ReplyDeleteAll the prosecutes have to do is show the courtroom Youtube and El Guero is finished.
this guys a idiot... he was born in the states and the states gives yousooo many opportunities to have a innocent and successful life and he ends up joining the drug game... dont matter what situation he was in... he chosed the easy money and look where he ended up
ReplyDeleteNothing is easy stupid some people do this cuz there isn't any other resources in his case I think his just sick in the head that I know he was just a sicario idk about moving tons and launder money yeah maybe for his father in law
DeleteYeah there are opportunities here in the u.s, but some people just dont want to sit in an office and make average money.
Delete''he was born in the states gives yousooo many opportunities to have a innocent and successful life''
DeleteGo tell that to blacks from projects in New Orleans,Chicago,Tennessee,Cali,sure they will agree with all the many great opportunities they get every day?Easy money?Are you for real?
idiot
Delete7:37 Who? Why? Impossible to know, "idiot"...
DeleteWhy would la barbie be trying to get Santiago Vasconcelos head of siedo involved ?
ReplyDelete--Or genaro garcia luna or all the other accused?
--La barbie did not mention my name, am I allied to him?
"Y tu que güey?" A quien le crees?
--I believe la barbie is guilty as charged...
--I believe those he accuses are guilty as charged
--And I believe the US government will protect past and present corrupt mexican government officers to the bitter end...y tu que, güey...
There's error with the video below, can u please fix? The barbie killing 4 zetas video.
ReplyDeleteI just checked it and it works on my computer, maybe you are using your smart phone? try a different device. It is far from great quality sorry.
Deleteayyyee yai yai yaiiii......blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
ReplyDeletedude in the red shirt looks like a Mexican Elmer Fudd
buddie beside La barbie is asking if they can all sing 'kumbaya' for the armoured bus ride. -Canadian girl
ReplyDeleteDam. Sitting in a room on top of plastic. That can only mean one thing!
ReplyDeleteExactly the cruelty of it all! Imagine what they felt you can see it in their eyes! The doom. When I saw this video on CNN for the first time It made me cry........because I knew that we had crossed a line! That Mexico would never be the same after this and I was right!!!
Delete10:20 they were zetas, they went there looking for la barbie, they did not know what they were getting into, but if they had had their chance, la barbie had to expect just about the same treatment, come think of it, maybe a lot worse, and some tablazos en las nalgas de pilon, to make it easier for the menudo...
Delete10:20 if zetas kidnapped and killed your kids, people of your family, would you still feel sorry for them, and these were z before the split so I suppose they were likely far better trained and more capable of doing damage and getting away with it than the kids running around these days. A line was crossed tho', no denying that.
DeleteSo him pleading not guilty means he isn't snitching he probably doesn't owe shit here only murders in Mexico he might want to start working with chapo after release all this sound like a plan to put Mexico together
ReplyDeleteThat video dosen't prove shit shit sorry but in the U.S.A the law is what you can prove not what you know/heard threw and informant.
ReplyDeletehey Einstein, it wasn't proving anything in the US case. Get a grip ignoramus, If you read at top it is historical backstory demonstrating his notoriety of violence and this was an example...
Deletedid that dumb it down enough?
why don't you give your mouth a rest keyboard warrior. You and everyone on this board think there narco experts.
Delete12:04 just because ignoranus insulted youses, we are all guilty, just because we hang here as witnesses?
Delete--Calling us keyboard warriors and narco-experts is not nice you know? It provokes the mighty furies of the talibanes and their pistolitas de agua...
That pic of them all on the extradition plane at the same time is an ironic--narco con air.
ReplyDeleteLa Barbie pleading not guilty. What a joke. Didn't he make amateur "movies" about his narco life? That was a good idea while he was in MX, but now??
ReplyDeleteOscar winning director Sergio Mayer will not release his movie; ''yo soy la barbie y soy su mero padre" to not incriminate la barbie, his father in law is also a accused weapons trafficker, and the father of " acress" Jaime Camil
DeleteFor the live of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
ReplyDeleteMoney in itself is not evil. But the love of money can cause all kinds of evil to come out. Money seems to magnify what's on the inside of us.
TIME TO SEE UNCLE SAM, UNCLE SAM WILL TAKE BARBIE'S MONEY AND all his assosiates including mexican government drug money if they dont coaporate. You know uncle sam don't plat lol
ReplyDeleteLa barbie is gonna be out in 10 years minimal, he's only fighting drug charges, and money loundering, his not being indicted on murder charges in the U.S.so why are you pendejos saying that his gonna get life in prison.
ReplyDeleteI really hope La Barbie doesn't cut a deal and disappear from Federal Custody like other high profile capos.
ReplyDeleteNOT GUILTY??! Barbie must be saying the truth
ReplyDeleteHe must be REALLY confident. Bold move
DeleteYou don't know shit about the legal system, your lawyer allways advises you to say your not guilty. lol
DeleteGuilty or not, after El Chapo's Presidency, is over, it will be la barbie's chance, I hope he has the dual nationality...
DeleteMeanwhile el bronco rodriguez refuses to pay 15 million pesos a year to live in the casa de gobierno, will send the money to students of Universidad de nuevo leon...
Good...
--now take the baaad, he has named for commander of SSP NL AND POLICE, a pair of ases, a general and a contralmirante with spotty records as mass murderers and drug trafficking extorters, o sea, I mean more popó of the same popó from la misma bacinilla...
--El madafacker seems to be running for presidente de mexico too...
@7:22 not at all. If your lawyer is not sure if he can win the case he will tell you its best to plead guilty and you will have a better chance at getting less time.
Deletethese were the elite men that were sent to kill la barbie????? no wonder they failed
ReplyDelete1:46pm
DeleteNo and no. They were not elite and they were not sent to kill barbie. They were there to stirr up trouble in the plaza.
actually your intel is wrong @2:42. these guys were sent personally to kill la barbie because la barbie killed some zeta commanders brother. the commander sent these guys because the main one (guy shot in video) was an army man supposedly. he took his family on vacation with him but barbie let her go. he knew he was fucked when he was at a store picking up cell phones. police worked for la barbie and picked up his men and it lead to him
DeleteLa Barbie's reason why Mexico needs death penalty!
ReplyDelete2:03pm
DeleteFor what? Deterrent, punishment or both? Which ever it is it wont help intill the USA finds a way to greatly diminish the demand for illegal drugs.
La perra
Its only job security for US Government, Agents, Lawyers, Judges, etc... :) thats the reason why they dont execute them
ReplyDeleteThis video of the interrogation and subsequent execution of theses four men was the detonator, after this video all hell broke lose in Mexico! All bets were off! The old school ways of doing things was over. They all lost their own morality because before you could be a drug trafficker but not necessarily a murderer. Yes even a drug trafficker had morality back then! There were things they would not do, a line they were not willing to cross! That line has been obliterated thanks in part to this MF that took the first step in crossing it! May he rot in hell!
ReplyDeleteOnly because he mimicked the taliban by filming it, but in all actuality, the ones who changed the game were the Arellano Felix. They massacred men, women and children at that sauzal ranch near ensenada, I remember one of the victims was even pregnant. Talk about heartless.
Delete
