The Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) declared the final sentence by which Carlos Manuel Hoo Ramírez "El Cóndor", former secretary of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for organized crime to commit crimes against health.
The ministers of the First Chamber of the Court, by unanimous vote, endorsed the project presented by Margarita Ríos Farjat, in which she dismissed the appeal filed by Hoo Ramírez against the direct amparo judgment issued by the Collegiate Court in Criminal Matters in the state of Sinaloa, which confirmed his conviction.
The conviction was handed down on September 29, 2017 by the Third Judge of First Instance in Sinaloa, in which he was also ordered to pay a 250-day fine.
Hoo Ramírez is identified as the former secretary and bodyguard of the former leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, with whom he was arrested on February 22, 2014, by elements of the Secretariat of the Navy at the Miramar Hotel in Mazatlán, Sinaloa, after the spectacular escape from the Altiplano federal prison.
Witnesses said that El Condor was Chapo's "shadow" and was with him in various places, such as Los Cabos, Obregón, Culiacán, Mazatlán, Puerto Peñasco, Durango and Guadalajara.
Not a bad sentence to be honest. Being the level narco he is/was and not being extradited is another relief for him.
ReplyDeleteJust out of curiosity was condor , cholo , fantasma and bravo all his most loyal and the main body guards of chapos during his narco career? During the time he was was considered one of the main heads of the sinaloa cartel?
ReplyDeleteAll at different times they all were his top bodyguards. From what I’ve seen condor was his most trusted and sourced.
DeleteFrom what I’ve seen and read condor goes all the way back to the 80s and 90s with Chapo.
DeleteFrom my understanding he was less a bodyguard but more a trusted assistant for handling day to day operations.
DeleteAm I wrong or was el condor with el chapo in 2012 when chapo almost got caught in Los cabos?
ReplyDeleteYa rumors have it he was the one to snitch him out. The way the story was told it would seem so. None of use know for sure but to answer your question he had left to buy I think tacos came back gave the signal he was in there and the got la chapo. Ps 10 years for his level of involvement was a sign he ratted. I know guys that have gotten much much more for much much less.
DeleteIf I remember correctly, they're was an article about how they hacked the phone of this guy using that Pegasus thing. That's how they where able to follow them and eventually locate chapo.
Delete1248 no the got into his phone because Chapo IT guy was a idiot and didn't renew his encyption that's why you don't need pegasus when your a dumb ass
Delete10 years of most which he has already served .
ReplyDeleteHe got off lightly and will see the light of day as a free man in less than 4 years from now.
Sir Char, Your article is good, but poorly informative. El Condor was caught in 2014... then in 2017 the judge sentenced him to 250 days... The question is! Is he still in prison ? Where...or when will he be released from prison... Or how much more must he serve? Thanks for understanding
ReplyDeleteMr Sicario 006 I heard El Condor was ex special forces . Can you please tell us what type of traini g and weapons he used. Why did El Chapo choose him to be his personal bodyguard?
