Let's see if we get a deep insight. I'm skeptical. But it's start good.

unquestioning Sinaloa cartel had some links with mexican and us officials. Hope we get some details.

Why does the government need to let murderers on the street and pay them with our money to live the rest of there life in a beautiful Oceanside villa somewhere?

They have enough on Chapo to put him away for ten lifetimes!

El Chapo Trial: Witness Details Alleged Kingpin’s Shift From Marijuana to Cocaine

https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/el-chapo-chupeta-marijuana-cocaine-762107/

That was an interesting one, thanks Hollander. Guy confessed to 150 murders!

Chupeta also said that a captain hired to move drugs in a ship from Colombia to the Mexican coast had a drug problem and began hallucinating that he was seeing ghosts and US Coast Guard agents. He panicked, thinking he was about to be intercepted, and sank his own ship filled with 20 tons of cocaine.

great articlt today. the cocaine train to new jersey. kilos packed in the oil drums. then distrabuted in nyc. cars in mcdonalds parking lots packed. the cartel guys would then hand the keys over to the buyer. wonder if they gave the car back wit cash later. interesting. breaking bad stuff

El Chapo jury hears secretly taped cocaine deal
By Emily Saul December 13, 2018 | 4:50pm


A Brooklyn courtroom Thursday heard notorious Mexican kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman in action, listening in on a phone call where he can be heard coordinating a cocaine deal with a member of a Colombian guerrilla group.

“Tomorrow I will send a technician over there to see it,” Chapo insists on the call, which was secretly taped in May 2010.

The drug lord repeatedly insists the cocaine must be inspected before he sends a $50,000 advance for the six ton deal, with government witness Jorge Milton Cifuentes, who trafficked cocaine for Chapo, explaining they’d received inferior drugs from the guerrillas before.

Jurors listened intently to the damning exchange, in which the unidentified member of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia—People’s Army, or FARC, tries to sell the cocaine to Chapo for $2,100 per kilo of cocaine.

Chapo skillfully whittles him down to $2,000 per kilo for the first two tons, and then gets him to agree to send the other four tons on credit.

While it wasn’t clear who had recorded the call, Cifuentes testified earlier that Chapo had been having trouble with his “cryptography” system — which was meant to block eavesdropping — because the cartel IT guy forgot to file some paperwork.

The deal never went through, Cifuentes testified, though he didn’t know why.

Chapo faces life behind bars if convicted of various drug trafficking and conspiracy charges.

The runty kingpin wasn’t particularly impressed with Flores, he recalled, saying Chapo immediately mocked his jean shorts and jewelry.“With all that money, couldn’t I afford the rest of the pants?”

Thanks Hollander

One of the witnesses Jorge Cifuentes claimed during the trial to have begun his life of crime at age 4.

El Chapo v El Vicentillo: son of cartel's co-founder testifies against drug lord

narcos mexico is a sleeper. think oit was the best tv show the whole year espescially for people into crime shit tv

I'm now watching the docu with Kate del Castillo on netflix. Pretty good.

The Dutch police have, largely unconsciously, contributed to the arrest of one of the largest drug lords in the world: the Mexican Joquin Guzman, better known as 'El Chapo'. In 2011 and 2012, the Dutch police listened to large parts of the drug network around El Chapo, reporting sources to de Volkskrant .

Research from the newspaper shows that a server used in the eavesdropping operation was located in the Netherlands. The bugged communication was passed on to the FBI.

The Dutch police only partially knew the importance of the operation, writes the newspaper. The FBI only told in January 2013 that the bugging operation revolved around El Chapo.

The network around El Chapo could be tapped because an infiltrator working for the FBI had set up the communication network for the drug lord. The FBI therefore had access to the server and the keys to decipher the messages.

Reportedly the server ended up in the Netherlands because of the close cooperation. The Netherlands also deals easily with tap requests compared to other countries.

From the moment the server was used in the Netherlands, the communication around El Chapo was tapped by the Team High Tech Crime (THTC). The encrypted data was passed on to the FBI.

In the Netherlands, few people would have been aware of the data collection. Even within the police, only a small group would have known about the cooperation with the FBI.

A witness in the trial against Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman has repeated on Tuesday that the Mexican drug lord in the past has bribed ex-president Enrique Peña Nieto for 100 million dollars.

What do you think? He'll get life without parole?

He should have made a deal like Cali cartel brothers Gilberto and Miguel. They were sentenced to 30 years in prison, after pleading guilty to charges of conspiring to import cocaine. They took this deal in exchange for the US agreeing not to bring charges against their family members.

Witness Describes Alleged Kingpin’s Torture, Murder of Rivals

https://www.rollingstone.com/cultur...-valdez-rio-torture-murder-rival-784485/

Like Escobar, El Chapo has had sexual relations with very young girls, even just 13 years old: he called them his "vitamins", those able to give him life. This is what emerges from the documents filed by the prosecution when there are now only a few hours left before the jury begins to express its views on the drug king. According to the documents, El Chapo believes that the younger the more "life" girls would have drawn from them, a sort of "magical substance".

They leaked all this stuff to press 2 days before the jury gets the case and is home on the weekend. They get the judge to block the defense from asking the 2 cooperating witnesses who drug the girls and found them any question of involvement . Shady all around. I mean chapo guilty as hell but did they need to sandbag him to win..... hmmmm

then they say chapo and his bestie el mayo or someshit are dea snitchinges. having there lawyers feed dea about there rivals from 2005 to 14. just kill th guy then. kinda like wheel chair whitey bulger in a snitch killing prison on day 1.
