EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) — The son of the former head of the Gulf cartel has pleaded guilty to weapons charges.
As previously reported by "HEARST" and "Sol Prendido" of Borderland Beat. The son of Osiel Cardenas-Guillen was arrested at his home on December 13, 2021.
Osiel Cardenas Jr., 30, attempted to purchase 10 semi-automatic rifles and intended to export them to Mexico.
According to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Officer, undercover federal agents arrested him in the parking lot of a store on April 22, 2021, in Brownsville, Texas.
The release said Cardenas Jr. instructed another individual to cross into Mexico to pick up the $15,000 for the weapons and to inform him when the transaction was complete.
Court documents obtained by Border Report show that Cardenas Jr. and two accomplices attempted to export five Bushmaster XM15-E2S rifles and five Zastava M90 rifles.
The indictment shows that Cardenas was indicted along with Azhuan Martinez and Jose Roberto Molina-Medrano, who was in the country illegally and previously convicted of illegal reentry. He also faces charges of being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Cardenas Jr. was on supervised release for a previous felony at the time of the release. U.S. District Judge Fernando Rodriguez Jr. will sentence him on November 8.
Cardenas Jr. faces up to 10 years in prison and a maximum fine of $250,000.
He is the son of the former head of the Gulf cartel, Osiel Cardenas-Guillen, who was convicted and sentenced to 25 years in federal prison.

Excellent another one serving prison time.
ReplyDeleteThose weapons are now the property of the Federal government, I heard they melt them down and steel rebar is produced.
Gun traffickers bring guns to Mexico,yet Lopez Obrador wants to sue the gun manufacturers. Gun manufacturers don't take guns to Mexico, also gun manufacturers don't go down to Mexico to kill people, it's the criminals that pull the trigger and kill.
If he’d gotten hired by the ATF then this would’ve been ok (eye:roll)
ReplyDelete9:19 looks like entrapment, likely is, but nobody forced him but himself.
DeleteI thought the exact same thing. Gives the government a big name catch.
DeleteWhen I was stationed in Texas I went to a gun store and purchased a handgun and the dude at the front told me he can sell me as many guns as I want but it has to be only 1 a day because if I buy 2 the atf gets involved, needless to say I was in the military so I only could afford 1 a year haha
ReplyDeleteso where are the millions his dad made if he is having to run around for $15000- to make a living?
ReplyDeleteHe’s got money, mansion, and toys. I am pretty sure this is him pretending to be involved.
DeleteLooks like another semi literate village idiot who isnt intelligent enough to be educated enough to function and succeed in a modern economy so he ends up dealing drugs and smuggling weapons and killing anyone who looks at him the wrong way. Scum
ReplyDeleteDrugs is a huge economy and ever evolving 😂
DeleteThat 922G is 0-10 years. If that prior felony is his only one then he’ll probably get between 30-37 months. If he has more in his last then maybe 54-72 months.
