Plea negotiations continue in Chino Antrax and Serafin Zambada cases

Chivis Martinez for Borderland Beat

If plea negotiations are unsuccessful in the twin cases of José Rodrigo Arechiga, better known as  "El Chino anthrax", and Serafin Zambada Ortiz, the cases will be tried together.  It was during the 2 year investigation of Chino Antrax, that authorities were able to collect evidence against Zambada.
 
Zambada, had a hearing scheduled last week, on September 15th,, Zambada’s attorneys requested a  postponement because of the mountain of evidence presented to them by federal prosecutors.  

Evidence that the attorney’s described as; tens of thousands of pages of hard drive transcription, and “millions” pages of wiretap intercepts.

Presiding Judge Dana M. Sabraw rescheduled the hearing for December 5th  in  federal court of the Southern District of California, in downtown San Diego.

"There is nothing more to add, except that the presentation of evidence will continue," said Justice Department spokesmen United States (USDOJ).

Zamaba, arrested on November 13th, as he and his wife crossed into the US to shop for Christmas.  His wife Karime Ellameli Torres Acosta is the daughter of the late Manuel Torres. She was arrested with Zambada, but soon released. 

Zambada, 23, is the son of Sinaloa capo Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada.  It appears that the case may follow the template as that of Jesus Vicente Zambada Niebla “Vicentillo", the older brother of Serafin, in that Serafin is cooperating with authorities, as his brother before him. 

In the case of Vincente Zambada, a plea agreement was reach, and it is expected agreements will also be reached in the twin cases in San Diego.

Vicente Zambada admitted coordinating smuggling tons of cocaine and heroin with "El Chapo" Joaquín Guzmán Loera and agreed to forfeit assets of $1.37 billion to the US government. The plea bargain results in a fine of $4 million and min 10 years in prison. He is considered a critical potential witness against "El Chapo” should Chapo be extradited to the US for trial.

Good time in federal prison is 47 days per year maximum.  On  a ten year sentence that amounts to roughly a year and a couple mos good time.  He was arrested in Mexico in March 2009 and extradited to the US in February 2010.  He could be released in 2018, if time serve begins in 2009.  I am checking on that. That is the minimum time possible according to the plea agreement.


 
According to documents from the USDOJ, Serafin Zambada has three pending investigations in the U.S. , and is linked to at least 12 other unnamed defendants.

  1. Its funny el mayo lost 2 sons to this, regardless of a plea deal. Those 2 will not see their daddy or family members again. They are as good as dead. Their plea deal will probably account for whether they end up in superman or not.

  2. Fucking appalling! 10 freaking years for a mass murderer? WTF?!?! The USA justice system caters to snitches. It may be a bit tougher than Mexico's but 10 years? Give me a FUCKING break. DUI offenders get more time, burglars get more time. But a mass murderer and drug trafficker? 10 years? I hope that was a typo. People start hearing about the USA's weak system they will become hard ass criminals and when they are caught, just snitch on someone and do a few years get out and kill again. Just a cycle! Rat MF's deserve to be executed for all the innocent people they have killed or ordered killed. Totally disgusting!

  5. @12:23 I feel u. I find it hard to believe the EU would give them a slap on the wrist 2. maybe luck will prevail in that as they walk out the front prison gate the bulls eye on them will still be visible. EU offers a reward in the millions U$D and they will walk. 10 years ain't nothing in the EU system. The corruption and politics is the same Mexico or EU.

  8. What's funny is that Mexico won't pursue or prosecute many of its own criminals lol..
    At minimum Chino and Vicentillo have done enough dirt to put them away for life in Mexico.. But does Mexico go after them ?? No these go around flaunting their criminality on social networks while Mexico says they can't find or they drop the cases for 'technicalities'

  25. it really does not amount to 54 for some convoluted reason it is 47 days



    On June 7, 2010 the United States Supreme Court upheld the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ method of calculating good time credits. As all involved with the federal prison know, the relevant statute provides for 54 days of good time per year. The BOP calculated that in a manner which effectively provided for 47 days per year and many inmates and their families have futilely challenged the BOP’s method.

    This decision should put to rest all other challenges in this regard. Read the decision here. There is certainly more of a need to push for the Federal “Good Time” bill.

    The calculation method was challenged and it went to the supreme court in 2010. finding in favor of BOP

  28. To all those people defending snitches, remember it doesn't take a genius to realize that if you sell drugs you are more than likely going to end up dead or in jail.

    If you can't handle the consequences of selling drugs, then don't do it! Snitching on your friends because YOU got caught is the cowards way out..

  29. Vicente wanted more and bigger weapons to blow up big buildings, saying it in his talks with the flores twins got him nabbed, not the drugs trafficking deals he had going on with DEA and CIA, mainly CIA, the big guys running drug trafficking from latin america since the early 60s, and with mexican DFS, their beloved franchise of the CIA,
    Drug trafficking is ok, making terrorist threats is not ok, ok?

    ReplyDelete
  30. sorry, it is 54 days per year.

    It went before the supreme court in 2010 after being challenged by prisoners and families. supreme court agree with BOP and accepted their method of calculation as being just.

  35. First of all I wan't to make it clear that I really cannot stand all these cartel/mafia/gangster/politicians/crooked cops criminal scumbags. I wish them all nothing but a painful death. They are all the filth of this world. But come on people don't be such hypocrites. I am almost 100% sure that 95% of you people who call these scumbags snitches and talk about how you would never snitch and how loyal you guys would be, if that was you, would completely snitch if given that option. I am pretty sure you guy's "loyalty" and "pride" will completely wash away if given the option of being out in 5-10 years instead of doing 25+ for cooperating with some info. I am positive that deep down you people can agree that living the rest of your life on witness protection is much better than living the rest of your life behind bars. So don't come to me with none of that, "He is a pussy ass snitch, I am a real nigga. I would never snitch on nobody." B.S. cause you guys know you would be as miserable as them and act the same cowardly way, spilling out all the beans.

  37. @September 23, 2014 at 6:32PM Even when you call the cops on someone you are being a snitch. Unless you deal with the problem yourself, which I doubt YOU do. FYI I have never snitched before, I might not be a saint, but I am not no punk ass lowlife criminal like those who say they never snitch, but always end up being the first ones to sing like a canary. If a piece of shit crook tries to break into my house they will have to meet either my glock 23 or my beretta px4 storm 45 cal and that's the last of them, no mercy for crooks and no need to call the cops. Can't trust any law enforcement, the majority are criminals with badges and double morale and the good ones are very hard to identify. Eye for eye, tooth for tooth.

    1. I beg to differ. If someone stole your vehicle from your driveway you aren't calling the police? How will you handle it yourself if you never see it again or know who did it? You have to call the police to report it if you expect your insurance to pay for it. The art of snitching is telling on your homies and those who were doing dirt with you. It is not snitching when it's stranger on stranger crime.
