"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!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteRIP Gilbertona
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.
DeleteGilbert Tonto a.
Delete@1.01. "You heard it here first"? No dude, we heard it here last, like chinese whispers.
DeleteI'm pretty sure that anyone following this case properly heard that bullshit from a dozen other people, without the "Snitching!!!!!!" flappy hand excitement, and the weird obsession with Gilbertona.
A pinche Gilberta, ya te habías tardado.
DeleteRIP Juanga Gabriel del mero paracuaro michoacan
DeleteSapo power 💪🏼 puerco power 💪🏼 corriente amas no poder power 💪🏼 en otras palabras puro sinaloa!

DeleteEstado del los sapos
DeleteThat's Koo foo
DeleteThis 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!!!
ReplyDeleteHow would you look after being roughed up and thrown in a plane at that age? The initial stress was a lot. The article proves nothing.
DeleteCALLATE MECO NO SABES LO QUE DICES ARREPIENTETE BABOSETE.
DeleteDude's cartoon image looks great compared to July arrest photos, 'Nuffy..
DeleteMaybe he DID turn his own ass in for the top notch medical care the feds provide!
When La Cosa Nostra rat Joe Valachi was being held in LaTuna, he had a makeshift kitchen setup and his handlers kept him happy and talking by bringing him delicacies, pungent Italian cheeses, salami and shit like that, you'd better believe MZ getting the same treatment, mangos, aguachiles, marlin en escabeche, etc..
When Saddam Hussein was getting debriefed by his American captors, they appealed to his sweet tooth with dates and figs..
Bye and bye, Stockholm syndrome sets in, you fall in love with your jailers and spill your guts..
You can fight the law, but usually the law wins..

Finally someone with common sense 🤔
DeleteMas bien sinaloa El estado de los sapos
DeleteI don’t think it’s the US prison that’s good for him, it’s that he’s not constantly hiding, running, moving around to remain free. Sometimes solitude is the best freedom.
ReplyDeleteAll those corridos they made for him and his army of fans that couldn't stop fawning all over his old ass will end with this chump ratting everyone out. Somehow I'm not surprised. 😂
ReplyDeleteEverybody called Tekashi 69 a rat "he broke the street code ".
ReplyDeleteHere you have a high level Cartel leader snitching. There is no street code! Its all BS
99.9% of anyone faced with life in jail will snitch and" rat " .Its called survival.
There 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.
ReplyDeleteThe US may not want that intel as they already have it.
DeleteAs a 70+ year old man myself, I can assure you 20 years will be a life sentence 🫤
DeleteThey’d just put him in witsec and say he’s serving his 25 year sentence.
DeleteNot really hard to do from a govt standpoint. Keep public records showing he’s in jail when he isn’t.
With someone this high profile it’s the only way
Thankfully a life sentence for a cocaine addict like this guy and his age could be the next five years.
DeleteArturo '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!
ReplyDelete@Big Truther,
DeleteEl Mochomo ratted out his Colombian supplier and even ratted on his own dead brother, putting the blame on him as the leader of their faction. He was not able to rat further because the US did not offer him a deal. Stop believing in fairytales.
Bigger than mayo en chapo
DeleteEl jefe de las plazas for a reason f* these snitches
2:35 PM
DeleteYawnnnnn,write a heroic corrido about white boots and white tights El Botas Jefe de yawnn snore my hero
Mayo was set up you dummy
DeleteThat's cartoon Scarface bullshit Big Truther. Arturo Beltran Leyva was assassinated by the security forces under Garcia Luna- he allied with Lazcano, kidnapped Luna and murdered Edgar Millan, the most powerful police figure in Mexico. It wasn't a blaze of glory, it was squalid.
DeleteAs for Alfredo, he wasn't given the option to "snitch" so don't pretend he stood up.
Lol. Tranquilo alucin.
DeleteCubans cant handle the heat
DeleteThe Beltran Leyva were the only real ones
DeleteThey all died premature deaths and were decimated by these people.
Delete2:35
DeleteYou need to think about your life and priorities.
@2:35 almost all Mexicans tell
DeleteIf 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.

DeleteFlog that bitch get more mileage
Luis Chaparro on his X account is reporting that Hernan Domingo Ojeda Lopez “El Mero Mero who is Ovidios uncle and was arrested about a month ago. Has signed his extradition papers. Why would someone want to be extradited???? Arriba el Cartel De los Sapos!!!!!.
ReplyDeleteRIP Gilbertona
No te da vergüenza che vieja
DeleteLuis is 50% full of absolute dogshit non sense
DeleteThis rip gilbertona dude is annoying bb needs to ban his comments
DeleteIf Mayo cops a plea, he'll be sentenced, and it won't matter what his kid's got to say about him, does it?
ReplyDeleteThe Zambadas will rat you out in a fraction of a second, they are used to the good life and in prison only low level security facilities have perks and good services.
ReplyDeleteBe the way they arent all snitches and rats,mexican cartels take the cake for all that,no one beats them
ReplyDeleteVa cantar como pajar la Mayonesa
ReplyDeleteAll that snitching is making him healthier. Just like his son Mayito Sapo 🐸
ReplyDeleteAriva michoacan 🦋🦋🦋

ReplyDeleteSicario 006 snitched! That puto!
ReplyDeleteFree Chapo!
ReplyDeleteBuy but but, i thought mayo turn him self in, those deals should of already been made, plus there shouldnt be any war going on in Sinaloa! 🤣
ReplyDeleteWe're going to get daddy or we're going to get son. Because family don't mean shit around here whether it be blood or not. In 1980 while in Lamesa TX we had to cut our vacation short because back in Cactus TX, Richard got plomoed nuka style. Walking out of his daddies bar.
