| This morning, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador addressed questions from reporters on the release and potential deportation of Osiel Cardenas-Guillen, who once headed the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas |
During a press conference this morning, Mexico's President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) addressed the release of Osiel Cárdenas Guillén, who is months away from being released from a US federal prison.
AMLO stated that Rosa Icela Rodríguez, the head of the Attorney General's Office (FGR), is making preparations should Cardenas Guillen be deported back to Mexico. He said that he is not certain if the FGR has charges against him but that they will conduct a thorough investigation.
He further stated that the government would make an announcement to Mexican citizens on the actions taken in a timely fashion.
AMLO also clarified that if Cardenas Guillen does not face charges in Mexico, the FGR would not fabricate charges against him just to secure his arrest.
Reporters asked AMLO if there was a possibility that Cardenas Guillen could become a protected witness upon his return to Mexico, to which AMLO responded that this was not a strategy the government is planning to employ.
Background
Cardenas Guillen served as the top leader of the Gulf Cartel from 1999 to 2003. During his leadership, he recruited several ex-military members to establish the cartel's paramilitary wing, Los Zetas. At the peak of his influence, he became one of the most sought-after international fugitives.
Arrested in Mexico in 2003, Cárdenas Guillén was subsequently extradited to the U.S. in 2007. Initially sentenced to 25 years in prison without the possibility of parole in 2010, his sentence has undergone multiple reductions.
As per the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), Cárdenas Guillén's anticipated release date is set for August 30, 2024. He is currently held at the USP Terre Haute in Indiana.
It is unclear if Cardenas Guillen will be deported back to Mexico upon serving his sentence. As reported by Borderland Beat, the legal language in his US indictment does not stipulate that he will be ordered for immediate deportation, a clause that other Gulf Cartel members indicted with him do have. This omission may signal that Cardenas Guillen could remain in the US—possibly as a protected witness—instead of being deported to Mexico.
Earlier this month, a federal judge dropped firearm charges against Cárdenas Guillén after the charge had reached its statute of limitations. This motion is yet to be approved by another court, which will be the final arbiter to decide if the charges will be upheld or dismissed.
Cardenas Guillen is not the only high-ranking Gulf Cartel and Zetas member to be released from a US prison this year. Tomas Yarrington Ruvalcaba, the former Governor of Tamaulipas, is also scheduled to be released from prison in November.
Borderland Beat records show that Yarrington was a key figure in the Gulf Cartel's ascension as one of Mexico's leading criminal groups in the late 1990s and early 2000s. During that era, the cartel was headed by kingpin Osiel Cárdenas Guillén.
I don’t think Osiel will be back but I do think Yarrington will. Yarrington is a political chess piece and the incumbent government will crucify him due to his PRI ties. Osiel not really. He will be a problem for the government even if he’s imprisoned. Everything is better if he remains with Uncle Sam.
ReplyDeleteMire ya tiene debilidad política y esta muy quemado obviamente tambien puede que sea baja
Deletewhere was he living before being extradited? just heading back "home"
DeleteLa eme should've killed that piece of shit osiel
ReplyDeleteThe army should have killed him right then and there in 2003 when he was arrested. These criminals just keep causing problems even 20 years later.
DeleteTHAT WAS NOTHING MORE THAN A PRISON PUBLICITY STUNT TO GET HIS NAME BACK IN DA GAME. I BETZ LA EME AND JEFE OSIEL ARE TIGHT RIGHT NOW AND READY TO LOAD THEM CLASSIC KILOS SOON AS HE OUT. THING IS NOBODY WANT THEM COKE KILOS NO MORE SO HELL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO THROW SOME CRISTO OR FERNANDO
Delete$$$PLAYAMADECHOLO$$$
El Señor Osiel will unite all Gulf Cartel factions and all Zetas factions . He will reestablish the positjon of power of the Cartel Del Golfo under the leadership of La Chapiza
ReplyDeleteYes, once a mafioso, always a mafioso
DeleteHe’s staying in the US. They don’t send cooperators back to Mexico for obvious reasons.
DeleteChapiza got nothing to do with it jeep dreaming kids sapitos are a sinking ship
DeleteLa chapiza? No mames.
DeleteDo you really think the new leaders will give up there power just like that, they will kill him first
Delete7:55 the “new leader” are all his relatives who adore him or have enjoyed the fruits of his labor/momey. This is just Ciclones, but not Metros or other groups. El contador runs the show behind bars and he is related to Osiel, worked under him, made him rich. Money talks. Let’s just hope Osiel stays and doesn’t come back home.
DeleteThere are drug lords that are a flash in a pan, and there are drug lords with staying power. Osiel got very rich very quick then BOOM got busted. He won't last long if he gets back in the game because his domain is too small. Mencho and Mayo control large swaths of the country and have many places to hide. Osiel has basically one city and some small villages to hide in. Ask Sr Tormenta. If Osiel is smart, he will retire in luxury in the USA with his laundered millions. But alas, mafioso are super greedy and cannot resist the game, especially when they were once at the top
Delete10:35 … he ain’t going back to Mexico .. he’s got zero power, zero muscle, zero government sponsorship, he has shit to offer … plus he’s a SNITCH !!!!!!!
DeleteIF Osiel somehow reunites all the CDG, Zeta and FM factions then CDS and CJNG is f*cked
Delete@10:46 .. todas las células de los Z y CDG y CDN son puro pendejo de 18años creyéndose los reyes del universo puro fokemon pendejo
Deletehow did he start?
Deletedid it once, why can't he do it again?

What are the exact 3 groups in Valluco pinche Marica???
DeleteDinos pa que no la chupen don

Deletees uno solo d lado a lado o esta divido en 3?
Why were the US feds crazy about getting Osiel?
ReplyDeleteCus he brought more than 10 tons of coke into the usa a month. And because when he was in mexico he was the boss of the most powerful cartel in terms of firepower.
DeleteHe held an aFBI,DEA Agent that we're driving with an informant who was showing them OCG's safe houses at gunpoint with a dozen zetas. They reminded him about Camera and the aftermath so OCG let them go. After that, the USA has a new bad guy to play hide and seek with.
Delete7:38 That's the truth.
Delete7:38 is correct. "Oziel" (as he was known in old criminal files) was a pretty unknown figure in US fed intelligence before November 1999. He had been arrested in Brownsville, TX, before but the idea that he would go on to head one of the largest cartels later was unimaginable. By 1996 his name started to pop-up in Matamoros newspapers so a small federal task force in South Texas was low key investigating him, but nothing crazy.
DeleteBut then that day of November 1999, everything changed when they nearly killed 2 US agents in Matamoros. The US federal government then issued an arrest warrant for his capture in 2000. He was posted on the FBI Most Wanted list.
The 2 U.S. agents were smart enough to know what would happen if they were taken alive, they were gonna go out Buch Cassidy Sundance Kid style, guns blazin', I think I read somewhere..
Delete10:19, there was no shooting, just threats from oziel and bluffs from the agents.
DeleteThere is truth to 1019s statement. One of them had his gun pressed on the door where OCG was standing so if he got shot, he was taking O with him.
DeleteSounds like a fabricated story of a US agent. Why would Osiel be doing the muscle work when he has people to do it? He would never do sicario work like that. As some have said here, it reeks like it was probably fabricated to come out hard against Osiel. There’s no proof the story is real other than their testimony.
Delete1:19 Why is it fabricated because you feel like it doesn't make sense? A great number of known operators of the Gulf were present according to the files, like Coss, TT, JC and a lot more. This is 1999, not 2024. Times change. There is also a video of Chapo personally interrogating a Zeta, but that probably also doesn't make sense according to you, as he would never do muscle work?
DeleteNot everything that happens has to make immediate sense to you...
This man really thought he was a savior, he rode around in monsters thru the city while there was firefights. Z40 and him are backed by very wealthy families who some of these Sinaloa narcos wish they touched(robbed)
DeleteSounds like it’s fabricated to strike some “justice” boners.
Delete"Sounds" is not evidence.
DeleteSeregalin
DeleteThese fools think these guys popped up to rule, look at Kena he was in gunfights recently, everyone has to fight at some time everyone has to show balls who follows rats with no balls? If your good you rise, if your a stone violent cunt with a bit of sense you rise,
Quién era jefe de quien? Osiel o Yarrington?
ReplyDeleteOsiel was the big boss. Yarrington was on his payroll. Yarrington was crucial for Osiel's empire, but Osiel had the contacts, muscle, and the money. Yarrington was still a no-body to federal government until his governorship...
DeleteI hate to say this but in the 1990s-early 2000s when Yarrington and Osiel were in power, Tamaulipas experienced a lot of economic growth. During his time Yarrington was praised in Tamaulipas by lots of people, including middle class. He built a lot of highways, sport centers, schools, etc. There was also way more money in Matamoros, Reynosa, Miguel Aleman, Nuevo Laredo, and lots of Tamaulipas pueblos.
I'm sure a lot of it was with CDG/Zetas money... different times, I guess...
I wonder what he thinks of L40....
DeleteDid he see the little xhicaho tejas mever go on to be Z supreme leader?
I know he was under karis in NL.
Osiel had to have at least known don goyo Karis's brother since he was reyno playa boss for a bit
I wonder what osiel rhink of Z's/L40
He'd be an interesting to pick his brain.
His demise by that incident with Feds in moros.
They didn't even know he existed...
Allegedly Osiel was upset anout the Si-Eye-Ay agents they were placing in moros gathering intel...
Because he was bringing so much money it was attracting Washington.
And not any of the criminal Feds
Pero Si-Eye-Ay feds that were just monioring.
After the Fed standoff
Regular feds cant just cross the border/live/observe people especially just "Alone/solo/independent" ones.
Ocg knew better than to even touch those.
What do yall think?
US agents are doing lots of undercover work in Mexico and do cross to Mexico, sometimes armed, to look around. FBI and DEA have a local task force in Brownsville and McAllen so they saw the opportunity with the journalist and crossed to Matamoros. But Matamoros was under tight grip and their camionetas alarmed the Zetas.
DeleteNow… what’s the possibility that the US fabricated this entire story after discovering Los Zetas existed? There has never been any proof other than the US agents claiming it happened. There’s of course no video or audio recording. I’m open to that possibility too…
10:29 that’s a great point real talk a cops word isn’t worth much more than a criminals. Because cops and criminals are all two sides of the same coin….. exactly like dems and republicans…..
DeleteI would say the standoff was 100% real...
DeleteJust because everyone in Moros bars/puteros spoke about it so highly & would mentioned la Letra very highly/foolishly @ that point.
Many people discussed that the standoff made osiel a marked guy & everyone sorta knew that his days were probably numbered then...
Even allegedly Z1 desena thought it was wreckless of osiel to pull that stunt.
I want to say desena & osiel always had disagreements because Z1 was the onlybperson that ever challenged/kinda talked back to him...
Maybe thats why he was killed
Anyways
When he pulled them over not even some of his own guys knew they were Feds until they flashed their badge...
I don't think they felt too secure as soon as they saw that.
Osiel had the problem Tormenta had on a smaller scale.
Too much fuckin pase made him think he was invincible.
Osiel/Tormenta/Goyo were probably some of the worst users.
9:20
DeleteIt was real. It was confirmed by the US government and the two agents.
9:20
Deletehis group hadn't been formed at that time, disagree at a later date but not when it actually happened
7:38 &
DeleteMorogris
none of them were last letters, they were his inner circle who later on were given major roles when the distribution began
So AMLO doesn’t know if OCG faces charges? Damn, no wonder these guys slip from their hands so often. I bet the FGR didn’t even remember of OCG’s release date until a few months ago.
ReplyDeleteCada chango a su mecate. It's not AMLO's job to keep tabs on every criminal that's being released. When have you ever seen an American president keep track of criminals?
Delete7:29 amlo no tiene esa capacidad. A todos se las dejaría deslechada y guanga, ama a los chicos malos
Delete950 like who? Rafa and his nephew? Menchos brother Tony? Menchos wife? El Nini? Ovidio? El Cazador? La Vaca? El Marro?...si hay algo que esta guanga, es tu lengua. Hablas nomas por hablar mijo. Mire. 🤫... no ande comentando tonterias.
DeleteMexico will soon be like that Sopranos season when all the gangsters started getting released from prison
ReplyDeleteFeech, cousin Tony, Phil Leotardo, Richie Aprile, didn't turn out too good for any of 'em..
Delete🥺
@9:10 Rafael Caro Quintero is Mexican Phil Leotardo (20yrs in the bote, not a f*cking peep. He wanted tacos al pastor but he compromised, he ate an enchilada off the radiator instead)
DeleteDont forget he co operated with U.S. and rated on his own cartel operations. If he returns to Mexico he will be killed by someone wanting to make a name for himself. That goes for Zambada the rat as well. Look at Chino the rat anthrax.
ReplyDelete@6:37 chino wasn’t killed because he was a rat. He was killed because he had put hands on chapo son.
DeleteWhen did he put hands on….? While being in jail or when he got suddenly released from jail ;) ?
DeleteSupposedly Ivan didnt like him cause wasnt chino culiacan boss at one time and they had words or some shit in a club?
DeleteOne of these on here might know more ?
10:05 si. Se pelearon a palabras en un antro Ivan no lo bajaba de gato y el chino de junior por no decirle otra cosa. En una fiesta estaba chino con Claudia y llegó Ivan y se la llevó (a Claudia Félix) y solo le dijo al chino discúlpame me tengo que ir.
DeleteEl chino hablo y soltó mucho.dinero y propiedades Yuri su amante le pasaba información por eso se la echaron también
7:08 NUNCA le puso las manos encyma a Ivan. Hay niveles y el.lo sabía.
DeleteUna cosa era Instagram y la otra la realidad de Culiacán
I have to admit. That the man was also “revolutionary “ in the way he did the Zetas group. The same way Chapo did the tunnels. Also I do want to say that considering how CDG is. Mannnnnnn it takes someone with some strong aura and a very scary person to deal with all those hot heads. However he did it. At least he had the whole group in place. I know people on here make comparisons to what happened to chino anthrax. But you can’t compare both. Chino was part of a group. A somewhat leader of a “group”. Where Osiel was a leader of a bunch of crazy hotheads. There’s no comparison there. Maybe he can come back and give some stability to CDG. Maybe he will get killed. But to me “OSIEL” is one VERY VERY SCARY PERSON.
ReplyDeleteRubio NYC
yea he changd the game for worse for sure
Delete6:44 - Agree. It's crazy to look back at how Osiel had a tight grip on all the old school Zetas... those were some crazy dudes trained to kill, but they viewed Osiel as their boss. In a way I understand how Osiel was paranoid of anyone and killed even those who were his friends... the guy was building the deadliest squadron of ex-military hitmen seen probably in Latin America, and that, in a way, scared him.
Deletedeadliest squadron of ex-military hitmen seen probably in Latin America …..please go back to school. That s all bullshit. They were a big noisy thing back in the days in mexico but not outside and compared to today, just a bunch of guys with long arms and some understanding of tactics.
Delete809 and 909 both great points!!!!’n
DeleteRubio NYC
1048 They were fucking up the ARMY, NAVY and the Sinaloaense at the same time. That's no small feat.
Delete@6:44 chino was part of the anthrax, and then started his own business. He was really a boss not just a hitter.
Delete@1:26 .. I don’t remember them fucking up anything that wasn’t low level Halcones working for sinalokas or innocent civilians who had property taken from them by force … that’s the reputation los zetas and a good part of CDG built themselves… every time any cartel goes toe to toe with the Mexican military, the military wins only in ambushes do criminals get the upper hand .. so your wrong
DeleteZetas were fuckin up the Army ? Why do you people come up with this shit?
DeleteWho fucks the Army up.......NO ONE...
OCG will never step foot on Mexican soil.
ReplyDeleteSame for Vicentillo and Rey Zambada. Once you snitch not even the Mexican government will trust you, and without that blessing you’re dead in the water. No.. his ass will stay with the gringos .. if he returns to Mexico for anything he’s a bigger dumbass than his stupid fucktard son
Yup. Vicentillo isn’t protected witness but I think he got a US visa. Even better, cus he can travel across the US and be in contact with his family. I feel Osiel will get the same treatment.
Deletei bet hes rich enough to afford security and all that hes probably chilling in atherton with the valencia guy
Delete655 I know, and I mentioned before. Vicentillo has been in Mexico far before most here believe. A little over 2yrs and a half ago...
Delete655 Forgot to emphasize, he has been in Mx short-term. Not saying longevity.
Delete849 do you have any proof or just trust me. you guys are clueless vicentillo is never getting back in the game your retarded.
Delete908pm In regards to my message stating that Vicentillo has been in Mexico, did I ever say he was orchestrating anything pertaining to drug trafficking, laundering, political? No. I did not. Nor, do I need to disclose how I know this. The few times that I type information on this site, is all legit, from a foundation of verified/confirmed sources. I know that they investigate and keep certain IP. I do not care.
DeleteControlled the eme big boss
ReplyDeleteMexico sure holds their criminals on a pedestal. I’ve never heard any other president talk about the same group of criminals over and over again. I bet he gives more statements about criminals and drug traffickers than anything else in his whole term. Never mentions Mencho for some reason.
ReplyDeleteTrue, Mencho has been super low profile lately... in fact, its been like that for years. He received may more coverage in 2012-2015 but they've quiet down. Mencho has top government officials and press on his payroll and severely threatened. Makes sense how Mencho's cartel is all over Mexico in some form or another.
DeleteWhat presidents do you know ? ;)
DeleteThe article says he’s been getting asked questions about osiel. No one is talked about Rick Ross or Larry Hoover at press hearings
Delete"... I bet he gives more statements about criminals and drug traffickers than anything else in his whole term..."
DeleteI gaurantee you don't watch his press conferences or know much about his term other than what strikes your personal interest, which by the looks of it is drug trafficking and the violence attached to it.
8:56
DeleteOf course Mencho been laying low profile.. because he is dead.
Lol super low profile, ESTA en la tomba.
DeleteSerial killer Jeffrey Dahmer had his own show.
Delete8:56 The government was really on Mencho's tail, it looked like they were at the verge of capturing or killing him as retribution after the 1st of may incident with the helicopter shoot down. Ironically Chapo saved him by escaping from prison and becoming public enemy #1.
DeleteOsama Bin Laden was always talked about by US presidents.
DeleteCall me a conspiracy theorist if you want, but I think there’s a possibility that the US government fabricated the story that the FBI and DEA agents being threatened at gunpoint by Osiel and others in Matamoros. Osiel was hardly ever in the streets driving around with his bodyguards in Matamoros, what a fucking coincidence he was there the day the agents crossed to investigate. Idk, the story seems fishy.
ReplyDeleteThere’s also no other proof other than the US agents saying it happened. That’s good enough in the eyes of any US federal judge because law enforcement testimonies under oath are “good proof” for claims like this.
I’m open to the idea this was fabricate to bring much more attention to Los Zetas, which was making a militarized group never seen before in Mexico.
it did happen, last letter wasn't even created yet
Deletewhen that situation came across
look at the accused, none of them had a letter or number before their nickname
"Possibility" is not evidence. There's a possibility it also did happen; there's a possibility aliens did it; there's a possibility Osiel is dead; possibilities... good grief.
Deletedidn't say it's possible that it could of happened, "it did happen" are the first 3 words
Delete2:39
DeleteIt was not directed to you. It was for 10:32.
I heard Z-1 was actually at that stand off. So yeah hey had been created. Or at least it was his intention at the time.
Delete7:57
Deletehe was not present, would of been indicted along with the others that were
Tony tormenta that was also a bad wicked hombre...
ReplyDeleteDesgraciadamente nos dejó descendencia :(
DeleteZetas daddy
ReplyDeleteJajajaja chi!
Deletekena is getting released on basic technicalities bc of incompetent judges and police at almost every level lmao yeah we know you won’t fabricate any bullshit charges against oziel amlo
ReplyDeleteUnder his command, Z’s were ruthless (for that era). In a big way, all the executions that you see now would be seen when he was in charge (back in the day) and that was unheard of. His contracting and recruiting campaign was to hire deserters from MX and US… yes, Americans too. A lot of them would actually join at 18 and then go to specialty trainings and schools and then go work for him. They would chop off heads of ANYONE who got in the way. Women, children, old people would be tortured and killed… even exploded. He is truly a psychopath.
ReplyDeleteQuit that cap story already homie !
DeleteNone of what you said is true except that he hired Mexican army deserters, this ain’t a movie
No more zetas after his release. He is locked up with his Colombians plugs. So it’s a possibility he regains his throne in the gulf cartel. There’s a peace treaty with him and big daddy Arellano Felix Benjamin. It must be interesting when he gets release. His son is also release , this might be the remaking of the gulf cartel again.
ReplyDeleteNo way, too much people tasted power and they will not step back and make way for a traitor.
DeleteHis son ? His son is an idiot .. I seriously feel the kid was born with a syndrome, from what I’ve been told from people that knew him out in the RGV they claim he can barely read and is always talking about dumb bullshit .. I mean look at his arrest records, his charges and his mug picture you can tell his IQ is that of a potato chip
Delete🤣🤣🤣
DeleteHow do these sadistic mierdas get out prison? It must be the money.
ReplyDeleteCDG is back in a Major way
ReplyDeleteOsiel Cardenas-Guillen will be go out the same way chino went out if he ever returns to mexico.
ReplyDeletePues no estaría mal
DeleteChingue a su madre todos los lacras y ratas de sinaloa y durango qe ay un chingo de gente podrida por hay. Mueranse putos mugrosos
ReplyDeleteThe irony of it all is that Oziel saved the FBI Agent and DEA agent. They were about to be killed when Oziel said, stop stop, get the F out of my town and never come back. He was the one that actually saved them from being assassinated, yet he gets blamed for the whole incident because it was his guys that stopped the car in the first place. Facts.
ReplyDelete
