"Socalj" for Borderland Beat

Assistant U.S. attorney Francisco Navarro said the plea discussions with Zambada, a leader of Mexico’s powerful Sinaloa cartel, haven’t borne fruit so far, but prosecutors want to keep trying. A judge scheduled an April 22 hearing for an update.
Zambada’s lead attorney, Frank Perez, declined to comment on the discussions.
Zambada was an attentive and active participant during Wednesday’s hearing, which focused on whether he wanted Perez to continue representing him even while also representing a potential government witness in the case — Zambada’s son Vicente Zambada.
“I don’t want a different attorney,” the father said through a court interpreter. “I want him, even though this could be a conflict if he represents me and my son.”
U.S. District Judge Brian Cogan ultimately agreed that Perez could stay on the case, noting that Ismael Zambada also has other lawyers who could handle any piece of it relating to his son.

| Artist's rendition of El Mayo and lawyers on January 15, 2024. |
According to Mexican journalists who covered the second hearing of 'El Mayo' in Brooklyn, New York, Mayo showed that he was in better health, as he arrived at the courtroom without needing a wheelchair.
“It seems that the prison in the US has not been too bad for him. I'm not joking. He looks MUCH more recovered than in the photographs of his arrest or as he did at the first hearing to present charges. He even smiles at times,” described journalist Arturo Ángel Hernandez.
“He has dark hair that is combed back, with a gray beard. He does, however, limp. At times he joked and smiled at his lawyers,” Hernandez reported at the time.
All this and all factions of his former organization crumble like a cookie. Smh
ReplyDeleteMayo is snitching!!!!! He wants to keep the same lawyer as vicentillo. They are reporting he is already making statements on Amlo. For this the Mexican government will go after and kill el mas gordo. You heard it here first . Also Ovidio and Cesar are snitching on Almo. Arriba el Cartel De los Sapos!!!!!!!

Sapo power 💪🏼!!!!!!!
DeleteI watched Anabel Hernandez on YouTube and she said Mini Lic being arrested has to do with Mayo snitching. Leave the writers alone. They are volunteers. We have come to love this site over the years and if you don't care for it, see you later.

DeleteSapo power 💪🏼 puerco power 💪🏼 corriente amas no poder power 💪🏼 en otras palabras puro sinaloa!
ReplyDeleteThis article proves it. Being in an American prison is better for your health rather than being in Mexico free. You hear that Mencha? Turn yourself in fast. Our prison hospitals will fix your kidney problem and you will be a new man just like good old Mayo here. Not to mention that you will be reunited with your dumb son Menchita. Nuff Said!!!
ReplyDeleteCALLATE MECO NO SABES LO QUE DICES ARREPIENTETE BABOSETE.
DeleteThere is no realistic possibility that he gets anything less than what will effectively be a life sentence. He’s too infamous. Even if he gives up good intel on Fox, Calderon, Peña Neto, and Lopez Obrador, Mayo will get at least 20 years.
ReplyDeleteArturo 'Botas Blanca' Beltran Leyva and his brothers will always stand tall in Mexica Mafia history as true cartle jefes who would either die in a shootout before surrendering or do their lengthy sentences before ratting! While, El mayo and his family will be despised for their ratting in Mexican Mafia history!
ReplyDeleteIf vicentillo going to testify against mayo or use his statements against him there’s no reason to keep a lawyer representing him. there’s a reason he’s going with vicentillos lawyer. He is cooperating. Either el menos visto aka el mas gordo is killed for mayos snitching by the government or he willfully turns himself in to the FBI/DEA. You heard it here first. While all these capos snitching you have all the dummies killing each other in Sinaloa. You can’t make this shit up lol.
