At the beginning of the first hearing in the second week of the trial against the former Secretary of Security, Genaro García Luna, Oscar "El Lobo" Nava Valencia, who was head of the Milenio Cartel in Guadalajara, testified that he delivered at least $10 million dollars in bribes to the former official.
"El Lobo" revealed that he attended several meetings with leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel such as Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada García, Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán Loera, Juan José "El Azul" Esparragoza Moreno and that they in collaboration with Arturo Beltrán Leyva sought to gain the protection of the government. Nava Valencia detailed the delivery of money meant to cover the Sinaloa Cartel for the terms of Vicente Fox and Felipe Calderón.
The defense has objected 4 times so far to what El Lobo has stated. The prosecution has had to rethink its questions about the meetings and money received by Genaro García Luna. During cross-examination, the defense attorney asked why Nava Valencia hadn't brought up Luna in previous testimonies. Lobo responded stating that he was afraid for his family and it was prior to Luna's 2019 arrest.
The former leader of the Milenio Cartel/Los Valencias (a precursor to Los Cuinis) said that in 2006 he attended a meeting where he contributed $2.5 million to García Luna to guarantee protection for the Sinaloa Cartel and its allies. In addition, hitmen were sent to Michoacán to help them fight against La Familia Michoacana. Lobo Valencia also described two meetings with García Luna, one in Cuernavaca in 2007 and another in Guadalajara in 2008, at a car wash where Luis Cardenas Palomino was also present at that meeting. An additional $500,000 was paid to Luna at that time as well.
He also testified about a 2008 meeting with several leaders: El Chapo, El Mayo, Alfredo Beltrán Leyva, Nacho Coronel, and La Barbie to go over operations in CDMX, Quintana Roo, Cuernavaca, and Michoacan.
Later in 2008, as the war between CDS and BLO began; El Lobo says he was kidnapped by La Barbie and El Indio in Interlomas. After convincing them that he was an ally of the Beltrán Leyva, he paid $5 million dollars and they let him go. But, like Garcia Luna did following his own kidnapping by Arturo Beltran, he strengthened his alliance with El Mayo and El Chapo.

Background on "El Lobo"
In 2015, Oscar Nava-Valencia, 42, of Guadalajara, Mexico, received a 25-year sentence for his role in the smuggling of over 3 metric tons of cocaine from Panama. Nava-Valencia previously pleaded guilty and was sentenced in federal court in Houston. He had been extradited to the US from Mexico back in 2011 after being captured in Jalisco in late 2009. His brother Juan "El Tigre" took over leadership but he himself was arrested a year later in 2010 by the Mexican Army.The Valencia or Milenio Cartel dates back to the 1990s when the family-controlled opium and marijuana growing and smuggling in the Jalisco and Michoacan areas. The brothers were then responsible for cocaine shipments from South and Central America coming into the Port of Manzanillo, Colima.
Oscar Orlando Nava Valencia has been imprisoned in the United States since 2011, revealed in December 2021 the role of Rubén Oseguera "El Menchito" within CJNG. His statement was key for the United States government to request his extradition.
False Paperwork for the 20 Tons of Cocaine Seized
He also testified that when more than 20 tons of cocaine was seized in Manzanillo, the Sinaloa cartel owed their Colombian suppliers $50 million. Garcia Luna allegedly provided a document to Arturo Beltran Leyva saying the cocaine had actually been seized in Colombian territory by the US and the Mexican Navy, shifting the drug debt away from the Mexican cartels. Lobo stated that he paid Luna $5 million to try and solve the problem and retrieve the drugs.

This guy is one of mencho's true boss "unlike some people claim CDS was" this guys had money to the ceilling and Garcia Luna was fucking them over and at the same time helping CDS, ese Garcia Luna es un verdadera rata
ReplyDeleteGarcia Luna is a typical Mexican government thief 🐀 🧀
DeleteI thought El Lobo was michoacan but he's from Guadalajara. He turned rat and testified cdsnitches style 😂
Of course he had money to the ceiling.. He is a Valencia.
DeleteLobo Valencia is from Michoacán and he got excluded when his Family formed CJNG. Los Cuinis had the and the power.

OTRO SAPO MAS.
11:31 si si si, ahora dinos en que corrido escuschaste esa mamada
Delete10 Million in US Dollars?
ReplyDeleteOr 10 Million Pesos?
Obviously US dollars boy.
Delete10 million pesos would be about $500,000… give or take.
Delete1:18 no mames this guys had more money than CDS, they were really low key and only about bussiness
Delete@7:19 — I want what you’re smoking man… When Chapo first got locked up in 93’ he gave his accountants $200million to give his family and another $200million to keep the business afloat…
Delete9:36 that would of been pocket change for the Milenios 😉
Delete7:19
DeleteDude wasnt that low key if he got arrested. Also, he wasnt a house hold name like Chapo, but dude definitely wasnt low key. He was as much of a coward as the rest of these dudes who got arrested and went to the US and snitched.
Damn, I did not see this one coming. I usually hate the way Cartel stuff is treated like titillating entertainment but with this case there's nothing to do but sit back and enjoy the show. (Careful with the reporting on Oscar though, he might sue you for showing that photo. Those Valencias are shy..) Nice one Socalj
ReplyDeleteCrime sells.
DeleteThey need to ask him about the kidnapping case with the French lady
DeleteGarcia Luna is done. Eastern District US Attorneys Office, high profile case, it's not one they would lose, but the consistency of the witnesses will seal this for him.
ReplyDeleteThe prosecutors will say the same Chapo's prosecutors did. These aren't our choices for witnesses, these are the defendants choices, these are his friends, his business partners.
But Dr. J
DeleteThe PGR of Mexico, wants to do a trail too. They want his butt badly, they want to know where he buried the money.
All for show. Never happen.
Delete@2:26 but Dr. Anonymous, why did they extradite him if so?
Delete3:40 when was GGL extradited from México?
DeleteWhy? Because when the one who cuts the checks ask for him, he is sent. Don’t play with the wallet holder and never ever bite the hand that feeds you.
DeleteHe never was. Luna was arrested in the US. He lived there since 2013.
DeleteThanks SoCal… I stand corrected
DeleteAny chance Alfredo Beltran Leyva will testify?
ReplyDeleteNope hes a life in gen pop
DeleteNo Mochomo is proper,wouldnt have none of it,doing his time with his head held high.
DeleteWhatever anyone might say it stands for something,being a man
If he hasn’t testified yet, don’t plan on it ever happening…
DeleteFYI Alfredo is still listed as being in ADX Supermax with a Life sentence...as opposed to guys like La Barbie being shown as not in custody.
DeleteI am a bit confuse about "life sentence". does that mean 25yrs or until he is dead.
DeleteWow! Alfredo El Michoacán was transferred to ADX IN FLORENCE CO. ? There’s a few pics of home living good in a medium security Prison.
DeleteLife is life with feds.
DeleteLife in the Feds means LIFE. You ain’t getting out unless you get a Parson or Commuted by the Prez. State time is different from state to state and you can be given Life without parole. Feds don’t have Parole, so if it’s life, it’s literally life.
Delete@4:10, from what I understand. He was doing a bit much in the FCI he was at. Had a little too much power with the Paisas. Contrary to what people who haven’t been in the Feds think, there are rats in every level of custody (even the USP has em) and someone either got jealous or scared and dropped a kite or Bp form on him. A Raid was done and cellphones and contraband was found. Points Leveled up. Now they can put a management variable on him for life and be in ADX forever.
DeleteCorrect. State charges are usually 25 to Life meaning up for parole after 25 years, but if its denied repeadetly, they are in for life. With feds its 85% of a term minimum, no parole. And with life, its straight up life.
DeleteThe judge and AUSA's in DC did Alfredo dirty. I never really understood why, except I guess his principles and defiance running into a judge and prosecutor who had just lost it with drug cases and cartels. He could have got a 15 year sentence and done 7.
DeleteEduardo Arellano Felix got 15. Benjamin only got 25.
7:05 Mochomo couldn't do 7 out of 15, feds is 85% of sentence. Even if he was given credit for his time incarcerated pending extradition the DOJ would still seek a sentence that would at minimum have him locked up for 20-30 years total.
DeleteTigrillo got his sentence reduced from life because of his cooperation.
Benja paid tens of millions of dollars to not get life after not willing to cooperate with DOJ.
Osiel also paid tens of millions but he for sure was ratting out his underlings
What I mean is that would have been a reasonable sentence for what they had on him
DeleteHe had been in Mexican custody since 2008, and was sentenced in 2017, so that’s 9 years
Plus another let’s just say 10 and that would have been fair
They maxed him out and for what?
@3.33. It has nothing to do with him being stand up, or honourable. He was the first BLO ''kingpin'' arrested and simply wasn't given the choice, because anything he had to trade was measured against the weight of his scalp- like Chapo, he never will be given the choice.
Delete@8.42. Maybe as a punishment? For all those murders of Government officials, including the second highest Policeman in the country when he was front and just off centre of BLO? He may not have been charged. If you are talking about what he ''deserved'' 19 years is a disgrace. And he wasn't ''done dirty'' lol. If he got 5 years for every murder he ordered or co-ordered he'd still die in jail.
DeleteSure, I get all that
DeleteIt just doesn’t compare with similar sentences
Maybe because it was DC
The Justice Department will almost always want the corrupt officials, more than the actual traffickers, it's the last card any of the defendants had to play, and they probably feel like it's well deserved.
ReplyDeleteDr. J is correct!
DeleteIs this one of the dudes el Molca was talking about or el tigre?When Resistencia was formed to fight against the torcidos or menchos?
ReplyDeleteYes that cry baby Molca was referring to this Lobo and his brother Tigre. What that idiot and the Nava Valencia brothers forgot is that 85 is also a Valencia and was the next highest ranking Valencia family member in Milenio and thus was the natural heir of the cartel. Both Lobo and Tigre Nava Valencia were arrested before SEDENA killed Nacho Coronel and his nephew El Aguila. Draw your own conclusions on those events
DeleteDid Molca get his name cause his face and nose look like it’s been smashed in a molcajete?

ReplyDeleteThe world needs more people like you dishing out such brutal honesty. Fuck these pushers of poison and their fan boys. The equality of disgust holds the same for every cartel out there.
DeleteWould you buy a used car off this guy Garcia Luna?
ReplyDeleteFuck no
He does look like a mean used car salesman!
DeleteI want to know how that 20 tonnes of coke retrieval they paid Luna $5million for wend down? Did they ever see it again? $50million owed to the Colombians ouch! They weasel their way out of that one.
Delete@9:07 — Check the comments on the last Luna post!
DeleteTbh Im disappointed in the DOJ for not putting all these dudes away for life. It seems like all these Cartel Members who play the largest role in drug trafficking in America get shown more leniency than people who get caught trafficking a few pounds of meth or fentanyl in the US. Ive seen articles where countless black men or white dudes get hit with 25+ years for causing a lot less damage than all these dudes coming out of Mexico. Look at Emilio Cazares for instance, he got sentenced to 15 years. He was the the main person of Operation Imperial Emperor and I can almost guarantee you out of the 402 arrests contributed by said operation he didn’t receive the harshest sentence.
ReplyDeleteCazares also wasn’t sentenced until 2016
DeleteAlmost a decade after the indictments. US Attorney In SD had changed
And I’m sure the case wasn’t as strong as day 1 when it was unsealed and he still got 15 years
What? Have u read parts of the discovery that was made public on LA Times? They had a legit informant fukn wire tapping his calls and were able to seize multiple loads of Cocaine. They have a fukn Documentary called Narco Bling on Nat Geo dedicated to it. No what happened is he also fukn ratted and everything was sealed. Im assuming he gave up some solid ass information. I bet you he doesnt return to Mexico when his time is up. Theres an article from Sol De Sinaloa from last year stating the US was protecting him and that Cazares was taking steps to not return to Mexico after release. Nah hes a coward fukn rat. A sociopathic fukn murderer. A narcissist. You name it. Hes a piece of shit who deserves to be in prison the rest of his life like the rest of them.
Delete>Nava Valencia detailed the delivery of money meant to cover the Sinaloa Cartel for the terms of Vicente Fox and Felipe Calderón.< Will the criminal investigation end after Luna is convicted or does the DOJ have bigger fish to fry! Like any mafia $$$ has to be paid to The Big Guy!
ReplyDeleteThat would be riveting testimony from Luna while Fox and Calderon sit angrily and fidgety in the prisoner's docket.
DeleteWho's collecting the 100's of millions in mordida during AMLO's term!???
ReplyDeleteElmo's curupt government officials.
DeleteWhich mordida?, that was years ago boy.
