From Eduardo Balarezo today 1.25.19: "To avoid any confusion or rumors, we will not disclose the names of any witnesses unless they are called to testify. Similarly, we will not disclose Joaquin’s plans about testifying until the time comes to inform the Court."
What else could be heard
in the trial against Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán that the jury did not know? The
answer to the question of Judge Brian Cogan was answered in a macabre manner by
the last cooperative witness presented by the Prosecutor's Office, which ends against El Chapo
Guzman.
According to Isaías
Valdez, aka Memín, [at left] his boss tortured and murdered a member of the Arellano
Félix and two of the rival group of the Zetas.
AFO
member
The aid worker described with
two violent acts in which El Chapo was the executor. The first one took place
between 2006 and 2007, in the town of Bastantitas, in Durango. Ismael El Mayo
Zambada, according to his story, sent a member of Arellano Felix on his plane.
"He was already quite tortured," he explained, "with his body
burned with cigarette lighter marks." "He also had been burned with an iron, an iron used to
iron clothes. He had been burned all over his body. Even the bottom of his feet
was burned."
The shirt, he said when
he narrated his condition, had it attached to the flesh. El Chapo was upset,
according to Memin, when he was informed. " 'How can they send me this bastard
like that? They might as well have
killed him." Chapo asked. They waited three days until he came to see him
and interrogate him to get information from other members of the cartel who
were in the plaza. They decided at that moment to take the victim to another
place and put him in a chicken coop.
"He was thrown in there
for several days," he said, "stinking of rottenness." Guzman
ordered him out and asked his people to dig a hole. The capo took out a small
pistol, put it behind his head when he was on the edge of what was to be his
grave and interrogated him again, said
Memin. And while he responded, "he shot him", after calling him a son
of a bitch. "Remove his handcuffs and bury him," Memin
recalled him saying.
The gun was very small,
caliber 25, so he did not die instantly.
He was still gasping for
air, attempting to breathe. "And that's how we dumped him in the hole and
buried him," he said.
Gift
from Damaso’s people---two Zetas
It was also between 2006
and 2007, this in the town of Coluta, also in Durango. "They sent us a
gift," announced El Chapo. This time it was from the people of Dámaso
López, who had seized two Zetas.
Guzman ordered to receive
them and to put them in a barn where
they kept grass for the cattle and ordered them to begin the "heat" using
blows to release information. The capo
then asked them to look for a branch and
a secluded place in the mountain where
he could torture them.
He began beating them. "They
could not move," he said, "they had broken bones." El Chapo also
used his rifle to beat them while asking them how they could work for the Zetas
and betray him from the same area that was controlled by the Sinaloa Cartel.
After three hours, he
asked to open a large hole in the ground, to take logs and to light a fire.
Late at night, they took
the two men and brought them to the fire. Memin explained that they were placed
on the grid of two four-wheeled bikes.
One was taken by El
Chapo. The two rivals were still alive, they were lowered, the boss took out
his rifle, put a bullet in it, placed the gun on the head of one of them and
shot him after calling his mother a whore. "He did the same with the
second," he said.
Once executed, they put
their bodies to the stake. "Make sure that there is not even a bone
left," he said before leaving.
The bonfire remained
alive until dawn.
Isaías Valdez also
related how he executed several orders from Joaquín Guzmán to kill two
"rats" who were informing the authorities.
He also recounted a
confrontation they had with members of the Beltrán Leyva cartel at a gas
station on the outskirts of Culiacán, in which eight people from the rival gang
were killed.
Memin sys he was under
the orders of El Chapo for a decade. He joined the Sinaloa cartel after leaving
the special forces of the Mexican Army. He started working in the security
circle that protected the drug trafficker in the sierras of Sinaloa. He also
did it later for the sons of Joaquín Guzmán and became one of his pilots.
no word on who the defense witnesses will be???
ReplyDeletebtw thank you. i can't believe you volunteer so much of your time to us. god bless
as of yesterday no list yet
DeleteEMMA gonna stand in from of the gov, her middle finger to DEA and N saying caso cerrado . and took him away 2 de sierras. 🤣😂
Deletethere's speculation about his wife testifying on his behalf, but after what was said about her maybe not... i mean the prosecution might wanna milk that narrative
DeleteSpeculation on social media I mean lol
Delete8:36 hey think about it though. she would have been a good witness. she can speak about his parenting etc make him appear like a loving family man... but damaso just made everyone doubt her :x
DeleteEvidence please.
ReplyDeleteCanadian girl
Oh come now, in the land of fake news, a little heresay can be expected. This gem was saved for last to leave an impression.
DeleteEvidence? do you think this is the USA or what? Oh wait, it is the USA. Nevermind.
Eyewitness.
DeleteThere is no evidence just some rats snitching to get some time reduced of there miserable sentence. They will say chapo killed the elote man for putting chile del que pica on his corn just to get some time off yet there is no EVIDENCE. Thats american justice , hipocrates to the core. And this coment is not going to be posted for "some" reason.
DeleteHis testimony under oath is evidence, unfortunately. A lot of innocent people have been convicted this way accepting plea deals due to lack of funds for a good lawyer.
Delete7:22 and Canadian girl. There is no evidence that Chapo paid 100 million to Pena Nieto either. Just a bunch of rats talking shit.
DeleteTalking shit under oath is evidence.
Delete8:40 there u go the trial is nothing but circus, wonder why they aint televising it, americans have a reality star clown as president, their women of the year is a reality star transvesty, they dumb for this they would have made millions on chapo.
Delete7:07 if that's the case Pena Nieto would be on trial next. But will he??? NOOO!
DeleteI am glad that i found this site. I have a fascination with the Mexico cartels stories yet I dont condone the actions that are taken by them. (wierd right. I have watch every documentary or show that gives a little insight on the daily happenings. To actually search back in 2009 on this site to now, and read what actually transpired over the years is mind blowing. Thank you to all who post the daily stories, trust me it's appreciated over here in the states. salute to all who grew up in this environment. I give all you props to be able to stay strong and function in life daily.
ReplyDeleteSaludos
DeleteThanks for the props, kirk.
DeleteHaha welcome Kirk. And it’s not weird, I’d say the vast majority of people here can relate to being fascinated and disturbed by it.
DeletePhelpso
These murders like many are an example of the lifestyle which one must embark. Rather, the stomach to embrace.
ReplyDeleteHow many are killed for a cause? Wars are the most atrocious of them all!
Justifying the brutality with common good against evil.
This portrayal of Chapo has no merit in the US court of law. Other than it was committed in his country and by a criminal witness for lienenci.
Stop wasting tax payers dollars and stick to the facts of his drug trafficking organization within the US.
No offense to BB for reporting.
Its becoming a circus show.
Can only imagine the defense doing the same (prolonging the inevitable). GUILTY.
E42
You dont have to embark in shit. Unless you like killing. The most succesful rich group in mexico lately were the cuinis amd they were the least violent.
DeleteA .25? He was using his mom's strap at this time.
ReplyDeleteNot much blood splatter on your clothes as you shoot the guy into his grave Mcfly
DeleteChapo not on trial for this crimes in the USA... terrible crime but relevant to his current trial no... Chapo is not on trial for anything about murder.. why is this stuff admissible in the courts??
ReplyDeleteShooting the AFO member was a grace after all they put him through.
ReplyDeleteAgain, irrelevant to what happen in foreign soil...how do they use this information?
ReplyDeleteYes Mr knot it all, become a lawyer pass the bar test.
Deletethey can't convict him of murder that happened in MX, but it makes the jury think differently lol at the end of the day the jury will decide his fate so discrediting him as much as possible is the way to go. i guess lol
Delete@8:42 I was asking a question not career guidance asshole...mind your business
DeleteDamn Chapo was vicious
ReplyDeleteThanks for all you do Chivis
This guy was a gafe, I wonder if he is one of the dudes that took a picture with alegres del Barranco
ReplyDeleteSounds like Mexicos problem
ReplyDeleteAn inside look Chivis if one has the stomach for it. Thank you sir. What a brutal existence. It is hard to believe young men choose this path. Is it ignorance or no self worth? Greed?
ReplyDeleteAll of the above
DeleteChapo is a bad hombre no doubt but he was the best of a very bad lot. Rest in your living death chapo.
ReplyDeleteLa marina mexicana sigue 100% matando y desapareciendo LACRAS.
DeleteEl Cabrón De Tamaulipas
So they telling these stories to scare the jury to declare him guilty and have the judge give him max or what's the point? He's on trial for trafficking not the murder charges right? Is his lawyer doing a decent job?
ReplyDeleteHey, genius, if Chapo is claiming to be a humble farmer then they tell these stories to demonstrate he was not a good person and up to know good. It raises further questions and weakens his defense.
DeleteAid worker?
ReplyDeleteUnfounded bull shot cannot prove beyond reasonable doubt
ReplyDeleteIf they had video they can and testimony may be beyond a reasonable doubt.
DeleteAnother legal expert genius without a clue.
DeleteROCK IN THE U.S.A. , ROCK IN THE U.S.A. , ROCK IN THE U.S.A. , rockin in the usa .
ReplyDeleteThat's what chaps doin
"Pinguin" testified against el Chapo. He also told the jury that el Chapo participated in several other murders. The first, involved a snitch Rabbit. Apparently he had been digging holes in the plaza. El Chapo wanted to know why he would dare enter the cartels plaza. They gave him heat as well. Soon he was on a stick in a bonfire. He was fully roasted and fed to the pigs.
ReplyDeleteThe second was a weasel from the infamous lizard cartel. El piloto flew him in and delivered him to El Chapo. El Chapo used his gold and diamond encrusted dissecting tool to slice the weasel in front of our eyes. He then ordered us to dig a hole, dump the body and pour gas in the hole. He wanted no paws left.
El penguin was visibly distraught when recalling the situations..
Haa! Every time I read "Memin" i read it as "Memin PINGUIN" too lol
DeleteThe fuck??? Lol"gold and diamond crested dissecting tool" "no paws left" nigga u funnier than 006
Deleteoutstanding effort chivis, even while you have been down for the count, much appreciated, Saludos, Torreón
ReplyDeleteZetas child women innocent people killers, Arellanos cold murderous motherfuckers killed el rayo his best friend for no reason, killed Guero palmas young children and beheaded his wife is he guilty yes but fuck man theyre screwing him he was not as bad as Treviño and them those bastard were satan in the flesh. Good luck Chapito.
ReplyDeleteBorderland beat putting in work... Thanks for spending time
ReplyDeleteDamn, Chapo was smoking on that Zeta pack.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that sucks about this trial is I well never see a video from Juarez Cartel. Torturing and executing El Chapo. I always wanted to see his true colors. Always wanted to see him squirm.
ReplyDeleteDamn bro. You need Jesus in your life.
Delete9:43 tf is wrong with u
DeleteThanks a ton chivis. These articles were so interesting and we got to know many things that were happening around. Thanks again for your time on gathering and sharing these informations.
ReplyDeleteI still have 1 doubt, why Alfredo is not present ?
SK from India
Ok... A lot of Killings and confrontation but all within Mexico, not US soil! What can the US government do with that?!?!
ReplyDelete12:02 . International organization . Rico ect. Saw it with the Zeta trial in San Antonio . If Chapo didn't operate in the USA there would be nothing they could do . Really don't matter anyway . We cant execute him and whats a couple hundred more years anyway ?
DeleteChapo's a bad shot.
ReplyDeleteA Chingar a su Madre does not mean "After calling his mother a whore" lol. Other than that good translation .Good job
ReplyDeleteless offensive......
DeleteAbout the witnesses and Chapo testifying i rec this message today:
ReplyDelete"To avoid any confusion or rumors, we will not disclose the names of any witnesses unless they are called to testify. Similarly, we will not disclose Joaquin’s plans about testifying until the time comes to inform the Court."
Better that way! Keep us in suspense lol
DeleteGracias 💯
DeleteAll of the information revealed in court happened on Mexican soil and is coming from witnesses that are scripted by the DEA in order to reduce there sentences. The whole trial is a sham to try and prove to the U.S. people that the war on drugs is working. That the billions of tax payer dollars have paid off. Even though nothing has changed and drugs are still pouring in. Whoever believes the WOD is actually working are the same idiots that think Trump is a good president. Specifically uneducated morons who believe a wall is the answer. Considering a majoroty of Trumps base are from the woodlands of middle America and have the education of a 5 year old.. I hope this gets posted because Trump's a retard and the whole WOD is a waste. El Senor should be in Mexico and not the USA. If it wasn't for EPN getting caught taking bribes over wiretap and US blackmail, senor would still be in Mexico.
DeleteWhat a farce this trial is and a pathetic country the USA is starting to become. Send El senor back to Mexico and let AMLO deal with him... At least he will take back the country and get these idiotic splinter groups in line.
Have they produced anything that connects him with Kiki's murder or torcher yet ? If you remember they claimed they had it .
DeleteNAFTA is why drugs are pouring into the USA and chapo already escapesd prison twice in Mexico... retard
DeleteEl pendejo
Will a wall stop it all... no but it will help prevent drug smugglers from crossing the border with a blackberry and setting up shop in American cities...

Even to this day the hatred between AFO and the Pacific Cartel continues, and for a good reason that is.
ReplyDeleteYeah but the Pacific cartel wiped out AFO. AFO cant operate in Tijuana without signing a persmission slip from Sinaloa.
DeleteThis is why I don’t understand when people admire Chapo Guzmán. He after all is a killer who only cares about himself and the money he was making.
ReplyDeleteDoing everyone a favor. Only 2 less zetas.
ReplyDeleteThe CIA will make an example out of chapo. He will get 1000 years. RIP chapo. You had a good run. I know some will argue that its better to live a few years in luxury than a lifetime in poverty but I can't imagine always being on the run and worrying someone is going to gun you down or capture you at any minute. Being a narco isn't worth it.
ReplyDeleteIt is if you were him.
DeleteThis man like many others are the few who many aspire to be. Unfortunately, the odds are not favorable for most.
His objectives were fruitful and worth the risk for his love ones.
Like all things in life there come an end. How that end comes depends on the circumstances.
This man is more admired than doctors and civil servants by our youth and those wannabes. A product of false identity and a lack of self worth.
They should give Chapo an award for what he did to those zetas.
ReplyDelete👍
DeleteEl chubidu
Theres a famous video of chapo probably around 2003 hes interrogating a zeta tied up. Hes asks him how many Zetas were in limonsito
ReplyDeleteThat wasn't a real zeta.
Delete355 must know, he was there lmao
DeleteProbably was there who knows.
DeleteCant you add like buttons for comments?
ReplyDeleteNo get emojis like every normal person and 👍
DeleteChivas is having the time of her life...these murders where done in Mexico what does it matter put him to trial in Mexico
ReplyDelete"to madre es una prosti" pow!!! Cold blooded and disrespectful to mother's, shame chapo

ReplyDeleteBarbie said it best, a good ZETA is a dead ZETA.
ReplyDeleteNi sus madres los quieren!
Those who thought Chapo wasn’t a violent leader haven’t followed his story from the bottom to the top. He started his career as a gunmen, who knows how many he has actually killed.
Does anyone remember the 2 dudes that were killed one by chainsaw and one by ax. Years ago at the hands of BLO henchman. Wonder what the history of that was?
