"MX" for Borderland Beat

| Some of the properties have Rafael Caro Quintero and his wife Maria Elizabeth Elenes Lerma listed as beneficiaries (usufruct rights), which grants them the ability to use the property or enjoy the fruits of the property without having to legally own them. |
In a federal court in Brooklyn, New York, US District Judge Eric N. Vitaliano authorized the seizure and forfeiture of five pieces of real property located in and around Guadalajara, Mexico, that were purchased by Rafael Caro Quintero. These properties were reportedly bought with drug proceeds, and the US will seek to enforce this order through diplomatic channels with Mexico.
“Today’s order is another step forward in our relentless pursuit of justice for the victims of Caro Quintero’s brutal drug trafficking organization and especially for DEA Special Agent Enrique Camarena, who was tragically murdered at the hands of Caro Quintero’s crime syndicate,” stated Acting United States Attorney Lesko.
“In forfeiting these drug-tainted properties, we join with the Mexican government and our law enforcement partners at the DEA to commemorate Special Agent Camarena’s life and remember his ultimate sacrifice.”
According to the forfeiture complaint, between January 1980 and March 2015, the Caro Quintero was involved in a large scale drug trafficking operation involving multi-ton quantities of marijuana, multi-kilogram quantities of methamphetamine and multi-kilogram quantities of cocaine from Mexico to the United States.
US investigators say that Caro Quintero used these drug earnings to purchase real estate properties in or around the Guadalajara area. Caro Quintero allegedly placed the properties in the names of family members to conceal his ownership of the properties and use of illegal proceeds to purchase them, and to prevent Mexican authorities from seizing them.

Que idiotes.
DeleteRCQ is everywhere.
ReplyDeleteRCQ is like the wind, all over the place.
DeleteBut the wind does not have accomplices protected and presidential pardonned by anybody powerful in the US government...RCQ does.
What’s up with those shitty apartments. Well, I guess they were just real estate investments and none of his family members actually lived there. RCQ probably doesn’t even know what to do with all his money and he will pull through with any real estate investment presented to him that can help him lay low.
ReplyDeleteDoes this mean that other countries could claim USA properties that were bought with illicit funds according to their courts? Does the ball not bounce both ways?
ReplyDeleteIt does bounce both ways but US won’t accept it. Mexico also give a rat ass about those orders. Just wasting US tax$ and fueling the WoD.
DeleteCourt can rule whatever they want, ability to enforce it is another story. The US can only force what they have jurisdiction over. They can only seize what they can seize.
DeleteThis court order means NOTHING unless Mexico acts on it. But AMLO has been overusing the UIF to freeze bank accounts of anyone he doesn’t like. So there’s a chance.
DeleteGood luck with that- the “ball” only bounces 1 way
Delete7:04 AMLO does not use the Unidad de Inteligencia Financiera, UIF.
Deletethey are completely independent from interference.
9:46 let the precedent establish precedent, chingadamadre!
Then it is fair game for "we the peepol",
Then the deep state establishment will affirm those luxuries do not apply to the rabble in the bleachers,
and they have packed SCOTUS to prove it
With 200 billion dollars hidden in Swiss banks, RCQ does not need any mexican properties or shanty cardboard houses.
Delete9:47 you’re dumb 200 billion lol!!!
DeleteBeautiful point. I was just thinking something along those lines. The U.S has no power to enforce this. It's just a statement on the U.S's behalf I assume. If otherwise,the U.S should not resist or complain when other countries do like wise
DeletePosted about him owning several properties in Guadalajara about a year ago. They should also come down to Tamazula to see the massive terrenos he has under his presta nombres. Aquí no pasa nada!

What a snitch
Delete@9:46 for Mexico, U.K., Japan and countries like that, probably yes. For North Korea, Syria, Russia, Chad or Eritrea probably not.
ReplyDeleteRCQ oldest son loves horse racing in GDL
ReplyDeleteI see him all the time.
It clear that the USA department of justice are smoking drugs. Mexico will not give those properties to them in any way. I’m sure USA will keep properties bought in US with drug proceeds from Mexican nationals. How about Elva Ester properties in San Diego?
ReplyDeleteI saw Elvis recently, but I can't remember where. Does anyone know? Has anyone else seen him lately?
ReplyDelete6:27 must have been you fart.
DeletePuro pinchi pedo ese!!!
