"Char" for Borderland Beat

MIAMI (AP) — One of Colombia’s legendary drug lords and a key operator of the Medellin cocaine cartel has been released from a U.S. prison and is expected to be deported back home.
Records from the U.S. Bureau of Prisons show Fabio Ochoa Vásquez was released Tuesday after completing 25 years of a 30-year prison sentence.
Ochoa, 67, and his older brothers amassed a fortune when cocaine started flooding the U.S. in the late 1970s and early 1980s, according to U.S. authorities, to the point that in 1987 they were included in the Forbes Magazine’s list of billionaires. Living in Miami, Ochoa ran a distribution center for the cocaine cartel once headed by Pablo Escobar.
Although somewhat faded from memory as the center of the drug trade shifted from Colombia to Mexico, he resurfaced in the hit Netflix series “Narcos” true to form as the youngest son of an elite Medellin family into ranching and horse breeding that cut a sharp contrast with Escobar, who came from more humble roots.

Ochoa was first indicted in the U.S. for his alleged role in the 1986 killing of Drug Enforcement Administration informant Barry Seal — whose life was popularized in the 2017 film “American Made” starring Tom Cruise.He was initially arrested in 1990 in Colombia under a government program promising drug kingpins would not be extradited to the U.S. At the time, he was on the U.S. list of the “Dozen Most Wanted” Colombia drug lords.
Ochoa was arrested again and extradited to the U.S. in 2001 in response to an indictment in Miami naming him and more than 40 people as part of a drug smuggling conspiracy. Of those, Ochoa was the only one who opted to go to trial, resulting in his conviction and the 30-year sentence. The other defendants got much lighter prison terms because most of them cooperated with the government.
Richard Gregorie, a retired assistant U.S. attorney who was on the prosecution team that convicted Ochoa, said authorities were never able to seize all of the Ochoa family’s illicit drug proceeds and he expects that Ochoa will have a welcome return home.“He won’t be retiring a poor man, that’s for sure,” Gregorie told The Associated Press.
But in years of litigation, he argued unsuccessfully that his client deserved to be released early because his sentence far exceeded what was appropriate for the amount of seized cocaine that authorities could attribute to Ochoa.
Legendary??? 🤮🤮🤮 Nothubg legendary in selling death across world.I wish such kind of punishment upon him and nothing more,nothing less just same weight of unrest and as many sleepless nights whic destroyed countless amrrican and europian families.
ReplyDeleteShut up. As someone who enjoys a sniff every now and then, no one but myself is at fault. People who don’t do drugs, don’t get addicted to drugs.
DeleteProps 3 21 was about to say this.
DeleteNo one forces anybody to consume drugs. Hate this argument ruining lives. I love myself a pase of original or lavada every now and then. Cold evening , cold beers and a good perico sniffing lightly cause its good and starting the fire for the cowboy steaks from Sams. Jamming Los Bukis or some old school whatever. Relaxin like a champ.
3:56
Deletewat
Finally someone says it how it is 3:21 & 3:56. I've always thought, who puts fast food, soft drink or coffee business men in jail for the product they sell. I am fat and unhealthy cause I make the wrong decisions not because they forced me to eat their products
DeleteThe clowns on here i swear
Delete3:21 hey dumb F how about kids that are given drugs at a super young age? How about those who have been exposed to drugs since pregnancy? How about children who are molested then do drugs at a very young age? You are a stupid moron without the ability to think.
Delete3:56 you're another pendejo just like 3:21. Think about all the children who suffer in Mexico because of your stupid ass drugs. All the fatherless children or those who die by a lost bullet? You're another pendejo who's a waste to society I can tell you really don't matter in this world with below IQ intelligence.
DeleteEstos pendejos happy asf to be crack addicts lmao
Delete9:39 and 9:45, and still nobody forces them to do drugs. And your examples are ridiculous, less then 5%, rest is just excuses.
DeleteDeath is fentanyl or heroin.. these guys were selling what used to be a “rich man’s high” — free from ethanol and the cuts of later years — on top of helping build cities like Miami. Not justifying violent drug organizations, but out of all of them the Ochoas were the lesser of the evils… 🦉
Delete9:17 What makes you think they're happy? They admit they're at fault and only they're at fault, it's very responsible.
Delete@3.21 Did you "enjoy a sniff" when that sniff was dependent upon an organisation that was torturing and murdering thousands? When Medellin was slaughtering entire villages?
Delete@3.56. True, nobody forces people to consume drugs, but this man forced thousands of peasants into trucks and murdered them in ways you would not believe, so people like you are allowed the freedom of choice to consume the product those women and children were forced to make.
I understand what you're trying to say about drug war hypocrisy, but the Ochoas are a fukn terrible example.
@11.25. Only in the US would people defend a man who orders the torture of entire villages, because of the right to sell your wares.
DeleteLos colombianos le trabajan a los mexicanos
ReplyDeleteQ comes q adivinas
DeleteVes muchas peliculas! Es como diciendo que China trabaja para Gualmar!
Delete1:21 PM Working together is one thing but to say that they work for them is something that your eyes will never see. After Pablos death little changed. Colombians are world wide just like Mexicans. Suppliers supply and consumers consume. Middle men take their cut and the world keeps on moving.
Delete825 agreed these cartel fanboys don't have a clue
DeleteHe took his sentence like a champ
ReplyDeleteSimón qué si
DeleteThat's Koo foo
DeleteHe did it standing on his head. He had a nice stack of feria on his books so his commissary was top notch
DeleteNobody takes a sentence that long like a "champ". Nobody.
DeleteHis sentence was 25 yrs and he did them, what part can you not understand? Now if he was giving life and got out in 25, thats another story. He did his time like a champ! Wheathwr you like it or not
DeleteWould you, for 10s of millions of dollars? Maybe even more? Then again, lost many years of peak life..
Delete9:49
DeleteThere's nothing to like or dislike, and your trite question is otiose. You can keep your "champ", good luck.
@1:54 hell no. Maybe 8 or even 10 years. But 25 and getting out a geriatric is just not worh wasting your youth imho. Money is cool and all but life's easier to enjoy when you're young and healthy. And i could see doing it now so my kids would have wealth but again, i don't think that would be worth them living without a father.
DeleteThats koo foo RIP GILBERTONA
Delete@1027 — well there you go, he has a family too.. lol
DeleteFabio also known as Pepe along with his brother joined Pablo Escobar and created the Medellin Cartel. CDS at the height of its power had nothing on Medellin and Medellin was far more lucrative than CDS or any other cartel. I know this will piss off a log of Mexicanos but I don't care! Nuff Said!!!
ReplyDelete2:18pm Hey why are you ripping me off. You are the fake Nuffy. Do you know that using my name is a copy right infringement? I will hire a lawyer and get your IP address to find out who you are. I will have you served. See you in court scumbag! The Real Nuff Said!!!
Delete2:18 jealous that Mexican cartels now own almost all the shit that goes around the world are we?
DeleteA red head POTUS elect would not talk so much smack about attacking these Mexican cartels if they were not a threat worldwide.
Snuff said or your moma said
Delete4:26 PM
DeleteHave you nothing else to glorify, here's why mexico is the way it is
426 incorrect
DeleteCartel de Tijuana/ AFO was on its route to surpass the peak of Medellin and Cali but they flew to close to the sun and the machine turned against them. After Amado died and even before , los Aretes controlled most plazas/ports in Mexico and was the largest mass exporter to the US like no other at the time. They had an iron clad grip on the US market.
Delete3:38 I'm cheering for Mexicans good or bad. Not cartel.
DeleteJust like this guy at 2:18 is cheering for Columbians that ran the Medellin cartel and such.
Get it?
@253….and papa Smurf is my dad! Tinker bell my mom
DeleteThere no such thing as cocaine anymore people just want that synthetic stuff like fyntynal
Delete644
DeleteThere's no more coke, and the people who remember what coke was like are dying out from old age, soon there will be no living witnesses to what it was like.
Per other reporting he arrived in Colombia on December 2nd. If true that’s the anniversary of Escobar death. Closing the circle I guess.

ReplyDeleteShould have made them pay for itThe Ochoas!!
They paid for the finest Peruvian flake available.
DeleteThis guy being released is absolutely great news. Do you guys know what this means? This means that in a couple of years we will be getting a new season of Narcos. This article also implies that he hide his money somewhere. He will enjoy a good rest of his life with his money. This makes me ask a simple question. Is giving up twenty-five years of your life in prison worth being rich for the final twenty years of your life? I think I'd rather be poor and have my freedom. Prison is not for the Nuffster. I'm scared! Nuff Said!!!
ReplyDeleteNo amount of money can give you 25 years back, your family and friends all seniors/death by then, your children has forgotten you.
DeleteI am in colombia now. And Fabio is the boss of Itagui and areas near by. Even in prison he was still running this area and you had get to get permission from him to run things there. With him out the violence in this area will increase. The amount of apartments houses businesses and fincas which he owns and are in others people's name would be huge. Just like popeye did he will be asking for some of those to be sold and the money handle over to him. With the price of land etc. Now in this area he will have over billion dollars himself.
ReplyDeleteHe has packages buried and hidden behind walls all through Colombia. Also, he still has his piggy bank and accounts in his hoochie coochie girl's name
DeleteHe has no packages hidden anywhere. All his money is legally secured in banks under other entities names.
Delete612 FYI guys the family's legit billionaires. They never needed to be involved.
DeleteThat is correct sir they never needed to be involved in the drug trade they just loved busniss
DeleteInteresting info but I hope you realize how you contradicted yourself. If he was running shit from inside the prison, what would be the difference with him being out? Lol
DeleteUnlike others he is one who keep his mouth shut and did his time. So him and Carlos are both out. Now 3 bosses from the Medellín cartel are out and about.
ReplyDeleteWill they retire, or will they muscle their way back into the action?
DeleteHe didn't keep his mouth shut, they shut it for him by not offering a deal to snitch. He fought the charges instead of admitting guilt. Not the sharpest tool in the shed.
DeleteNot the brightest crayon in the box..
DeleteWho’s he got to snitch on , his dad and other brothers ? He doesn’t have anyone left that’s bigger than he was.
Delete1:41. not true, he did not talk other than saying his name in court.
DeleteHis family has millions in property in Colombia and I’m sure there more stashed still in swish accounts they never found. He’s still set…
ReplyDelete2:56: Jury out on another 20 years.You seem very generous.
ReplyDeleteThe Ochoas had Cocaine game on lock in the 70s... 80s.... Mexico was Not on the Radar.
ReplyDelete541
DeleteCorrect, blow used to come up through the Caribbean into Miami and other east coast ports..
When U.S. authorities pinched the flow, Mexican land and sea routes became the norm, and the loss of innocence and unraveling of Mexico as a stable state began in earnest 😔
It is rather curious that they were able to shut down a route through the vast expanse of the ocean, but now they can't even make a dent in all of these land routes.
DeleteI wonder if the Ochoas had Griselda Blanco killed as revenge for her killing one of their nieces.
ReplyDeleteGriselda had one of everyone's nieces killed, that fat bitch!
DeleteShe had a long list of people who had vendettas, but I wouldn’t doubt he was in on it! With others I’m sure.. probably all chipped in for a fat payday…

DeleteYes I actually heard that. I have done a little research on the video and from what I gathered there is an individual that goes by 04 who is a former NCDJ member who went to Durango and asked support from the Cabreras.
😎
Asi es ojos chulos
DeleteDude Chihuahua ranks in the top 5 in murders year after year and that’s without a full blown war like back in 08-2012… Juarez has an average of 5 to 6 murders a day la sierra ni se diga .. they don’t even count bodies over there .. yet BorderlandBeat never reports on Chihuas
Delete7:49 borderland beat stays sleeping on chihuahua
DeleteBorderland beat doesn't cover chihuahua. Nuff said!!!
Delete@7:49 dude I swear the areas that never get reported on but there's always killings are areas in casa grandes Ignacio Zaragoza san Buenaventura. I swear you almost never hear from those places but there are always dissappearances killings
Delete@5:14 … I was in Madera back in august of this year.. tons of sketchy shit going on there .. from what the locals say, it was pretty quiet when we were there but shit can and will happen at any moment
DeleteYet no topones with 🍕 … Hrmm?
DeleteSicario snitched him out 25 years ago, that puto!
ReplyDeleteSnitcher Truther snitched!!!
Delete10:03
DeleteStop being a Pluto.
Huge player. Even though I believe mencho and Ivan will never be caught due to there unparalleled security and corruption all the biggest Mexican drug lords couldn’t hold Escobars jock. Remember, the boss changed a countries constitution, eliminated countless judges, cops, military, he even set up the columbian Supreme Court massacre, he brought a country to its knees and built his own prison/safe house, not to mention the uncountable billions most in cold hard cash. I’m no fan of escobars for he was a little girl raper like el chapo, but as far as comparison goes there isn’t one.
ReplyDeleteLet’s not go out on a limb here but the Cali godfathers also wielded some extreme power and influence of their own. From a money scale corner , I believe they surpassed Pablo in wealth.
DeletePablo was into little girls? never heard this before
DeleteThe point you fail to realize is the Colombia isn’t Mexico.. Escobar wouldn’t have been abled to pull all the stunts he did in Colombia in Mexico … yet someone like Amado, Mayo or even Arturo could’ve pulled off that off in Colombia .. Colombia’s economy depends on narco dollars a whole lot more than Mexico.. in Mexico a cartel can only thrive with all 3 levels of government support .. in Colombia that’s almost irrelevant
Delete338 lol OK kid bahahaha
DeleteDamn, people get so sensitive about Mexico and it's drug trafficking. It's actually kind of sad.
Delete@10:50.. I’m not sensitive about this shit at all .. just stating facts .. the Mexican state is better equipped than Colombian State to deal with criminal organizations.. if they really wanted to, when the machine turns against you there’s no place to run.. the Colombian government doesn’t have nearly the same resources as Mexico’s therefore they are more so at the mercy of criminals than Mexico
Delete1014 just mad because Pablo's bigger then Amado
Delete@10:14 your making an obvious statement Sherlock Holmes. Mexico’s annual GDP is close to $2Trillion (legal commerce) , while colombias GDP is only $300 billion. A country of 150 million vs 50 million, Mexico is the world’s 12th largest economy Colombia ranks like 38 or 40 . What’s your point Sherlock Holmes ?
DeleteMis contactos en Teocaltiche estan reportando via el face una fuerte operation de la SEMAR en los altos jalisco y Lagos de moreno .. se reportan fuertes vergazoz alv .. narco bloqueos.. drones.. y la SUPUESTA captura del Mario Gonzalez ..
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the U.S. will allow him to bring cocaine into the country and then throw him in jail again like they have done with so many
ReplyDelete12.01 no not really, no period nino.
DeleteDang 1:18

DeleteOziel and his brother Mario Cardenas are probably in half way houses in the USA. Their nephew el contador is free in Mexico.
Delete@12:41 negative.. they’re both living n south Florida as women .. that was the deal they brokered when they entered the witness protection program.. the Biden administration has been pushing their transgender agenda across the board and part of the deal was that the Cardenas brothers would forfeit 90% of their assets, holding on to only 10% of their legitimate businesses and 8million in cash a piece however they had to move forward with a sex change medical procedure and change their identity completely which they did not object too at all
