El Chapo Trial: Jesus "El Rey" Zambada, brother of El Mayo, testifies as a cooperative witness

Chivis Martinez Borderland Beat


Jesus Zambada, brother of Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada took the stand in the trial of El Chapo this afternoon as a cooperative witness and pointed out El Chapo as one of the leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel.

Zambada gave testimony affirming that El Chapo operated the cartel with his brother El Mayo.

He testified that he began his cartel career as an accountant, he also stated that before his 2008 arrest he was a Sinaloa cartel lieutenant, describing his role in the cartel as “the leader in Mexico City.”

He claims that El Chapo operated a staging warehouse in Mexico City, as a stopping point for cocaine flown in from Colombia.  Further stating that the cartel controlled the airport in Mexico City, paying off the government to conduct business untouched.
Interesting the statement about paying off the government, because that was a point of contention by prosecutors when defense attorney Lichtman made the statement in his opening argument.

This morning Lichtman attempted to explain away the infamous Sean Penn El Chapo video, saying it was all about vanity when Chapo said he was the Sinaloa Cartel leader.  He was aiming for a book and film about himself. 

Below is video that was played for the jury revealing a Chapo narco tunnel

  2. Facts! At the end of the day snitching is not going to earn them enough credit to ever effectively walk the streets again. Once their labeled a snitch your not safe inside your institution nor on the street. On top of that your family is in jeopardy, and to place the icing on the cake your no where to protect them. Where is the benefit? May as well do the time, and receive the stipend for being a stand up guy. Family is well taken care of for life, and as a result your resting away in peace with unlimited funds to spend on living your best life in Prison.

    2. You are correct

      And for 7:05, wether it's a cartel or a gang or a mafia or whoever it is, no one likes getting snitched on, this isn't over kids living free, as we see not even their kids live free and it has been proven many times that in Cartel de Sinaloa as much as in other cartels, loyalty is simply an illusion and family is no exemption, they will not hesitate to kill their own relatives.

    3. Its just revenge snitching. Chapo did not try to have those people listed killed, makes no sense, and the snitch offers no details or proof. Damaso was behind it to play Chapo, since he was an informant. Damaso started the war with Beltran, and snitched them all out.

      Delete
    4. Correct! No one likes getting snitched on. However, under the current circumstances involving chapo. There is no way he will see freedom due to his age and the lengthy sentence which will be handed out. This is a given.

      The US will not be intimidated nor incompetent to getting a conviction. Despite the millions of dollars the defense team has been paid.
      He knew the risks once stepping on US soil. GAME OVER!

      As for loyalty? Depends on who one associates with. Clearly loyalty gave him rise to power. Whether thru means of violence or bribes. He obtained what many dream of.
      It's those 365 dime addicts that usually give Intel to the police.

      The flores twins were caught in the middle of what appears to be over balls (which they lacked) because of an inevitable war among cartels.

      There is never a guarantee in the drug game. Most fall quickly never to acquire the riches one wishes to obtain. He is one of many who obtained all of the above.

  3. My question is if all this is going to be in the El Chapo series as well? Speaking of that do the producers know Chapo is not the main boss of CDS but rather Zambada?
    Nuthuggers gotta have their hero to cheer for and Chapo being caught can no longer claim this title. Of course during the course of his escapes that is not what they were saying but...whatever makes them happy.

    1. The series over, plus it would be pretty boring watching episodes of him in Manhattan cell. Count me out. Plus only people in the game knew Mayo was bigger than chapo. General public thought what the old men wanted them to think. It worked

    2. That’s why the El Chapo series was so hard to swallow. I laughed when the whole series featured a Don Mayo Zambada taking orders and fighting the front line against contras. It also featured Arturo Beltran Leyva as being just a nobody when everyone knows he was El Jefe de las Plazas.
      Wish Chapo would shed some light on the truth between him and Arturo and their beef towards the end of the split.

      Delete
    3. 5:31, 6:42. Yes like a regular person is suppossed to believe a drug dealers voice that is saying this when risking life in prison???
      How come when Kate del Castillo and Sean pean where there Chapo did not reveal all this to them and instead welcomed them to his hangouts and posed to take pics with them???
      Like it was said before...whatever makes you guys happy.

    4. Pay attention bozo the chapo series is over. Also nowhere does it say Mayo was the main boss. El Ray said chapo and mayo co lead. So many Chapo haters here its hilarious really.

    6. Yeah like you guys commenting here are "in the game" and know that Zambada was leader of CDS as a fact. Hahaha. Now that is funny!

    7. I doubt they would put this on the series, being a TV show, the money comes depending on the amount of viewers it has to be interesting. The writer will write based on what he knows are at least on what he's been told, and display it the way he sees it, then comes the producers making their own changes simply to make it more interesting including adding shit that never happened, and the director, same thing adding shit and changing shit,and you end up with a show that's too polished to be real, usually leaning to one side trying to give Chapo the image of a hero or a villain, of course being about him they have to make him likeable. SO DONT WORRY ABOUT THE SERIES, AND DONT RELY ON SHOWS FOR INFO AND LET IT INFLUENCE YOUR OPINIONS, SINCE ITS A 50/50 MIX OF FACTS AND BULLSHIT.

      Also the show is based more on the lesser known areas of chapo like his rise to power, the problems he faced on his way up and so on, not on his escape and recent events, his trial is already heavily covered so writing a script which will be altered for viewership just won't make sense atleast right now, but it can happen, I see it being applied more if there was a new series made based on Ivan and Alfredo, having the trial somewhere near the beginning of the series and take it from there to the rise of their power. But with all the main guys out and no one interested in them, there will be no TV series for them

    8. 7:07 use the word "HATER" when something like an idea say to describe "deport all immigrant" type people in order to perhaps bring something good to the world. DO NOT use the word hater when nothing but your feelings are getting hurt when people criticize your delincuent idol Chapo.
      This only makes you prove you are a true NUTTHUGGER of his and definetely NOTHING good is gained by listening to you.

    1. Exactly. Thing is this aint about snitching on each other this is a tactic they are using against the government. Remember in 2012 or 2010 i believe was when "Vicente "el vicentillo" Zambada got arrested and he admitted to the drugs but under the permission from the D.E.A and also getting help from the D.E.A to eradicate "Los Zetas" along with "Felipe Calderon" government this will be an interesting case and what Lichtman said this morming is the 100% TRUTH he knows very well the U.S Government works with criminal organizations look at the Mafias back in the 50's and 90's the damn government helps create these organizations its another "SCAPE GOAT" for them . Look into the "MENA CONNECTION " the U.S Government helped ship Cocain to fund a Militia Group.

    3. 3:53PM I have this theory that the CIA and the DEA are using CJNG as a tool to get more money from congress to their agencies. Look how many Valencia brothers there are. You’d think they’d be able to round all of them up. Nope they take their sweet time.

      Delete
    4. @353 and 412 you are on the right track. First this tactic has been used by the cartels for years to avoid prosecution‘s or mitigate them. Secondly all law-enforcement worldwide works hand-in-hand with drug traffickers mini times with the intentions of arresting them; but the nature of the drug business compels LE to work with The Narcos to stop the Narcos… If it sounds like a vicious circle in the perpetual one at that then you would be correct

    5. Ohh shit the conspiracie clowns are getting excited.The US is working with CDS ? Its just arrested the leader,it has arrested the sons of the other leader,oh i forgot,its a plan of El Mayos,his sons give themselves up for a few years and then come out to their millions,great idea

    1. No actually it’s a cartel tactic at trials and involving arrests: defect, place blame on the authorities helping so as to mitigate the impact on the defendant. They often approach the DEA on their own and provide information about the rivals they have in biz… It gives him a little clout with the authorities they are working with And it gives them some control in a situation where they would otherwise have very little. It doesn’t always work but it has produced positive outcomes from them in the past or at least mitigated the damage to some extent that their organizations suffered.

      As I’ve stated on this site for years the largest drug trafficker in Mexico in the 70s 80s and 90s was basically the Mexican government; because they were working with all of the Narcos and being paid Handsomely by them all. Of course it all went South when Felix Gallardo, RCQ, and Fonseca murdered Dea agent.
      Prior to that all the plaza bosses answered to Mexican government and if you played ball and did what they want you got to operate if you didn’t then got out of hand in didn’t do what they want them they aluminate you i.e., the takedown of Pablo Acosta by Mexican government. Ironically the agent who let his take down from the federales was arrested several years later—Guillermo Calderoni
      So I suspect that everything stated in the defenses opening remarks was absolutely unequivocally true you just have to look at the history of the corruption down there and hasn’t stopped I don’t think so as a matter of fact it’s gotten much worse I believe.

  13. It's amazing how none of you see this.... It's a game of chess my friends. This has been planned for years. Chapo new he was going down, this was planned within the ranks and the up and coming president. Obviously El senor knows he doesn't have a chance of freedom. Each and every witness will bring up the fact of bribes paid to the two previous admins of govt. Obviously, Chapo and crew aren't stupid. His kids are safe and same with Mayo. They have direct evidence of collaboration which will put epn and calderon away for life. This whole thing was staged and planned. New president comes in, wipes CJNG away with help from DEA. Cholo, Mayo, chapitos and RCQ, wrap it all under one umbrella controlled by AMLO and DEA. You think Chapo is dumb enough to snitch on EPN with his children and Mayo back in Mexico unless he has evidence. Think about it guys. AMLO ran his campaign off of stopping corruption in govt, removing troops from the streets etc.. what's a better way then to get everyone's attention that chapo, Mayo, rcq have direct evidence linking them to bribes. It's a win win. AMLO holds up to his campaign promise. Chapo and crew get back at EPN for backstabbing him AND new enemy number one is CJNG (who won't fall into line)
    This whole thing is a planned coup within mexicoand beyond. Guaranteed each witness brings up bribe payments to government officials. Cholo will eventually take of CJNG and fall in line with CDS/CDP.
    Please thank me in 4 months for this statement. People are dumb to think Chapo is getting out, even he knows it. This whole charade is a tactical play. Why do I still see menores riding around in the white out caravan in downtown culiacan? It's because they know it's close to kingdom come and full rule.

    2. @3:21 finally a sensible comment that makes sense, compared to all this snitch-feud nuthugger crap nearby. Thank you

      It is SOOOOO obvious. If Chapo weren't to go down and go down in a big way they would have NEVER extradited him.

      Does anyone really think that by some Hail-Mary legal play they're going to let him go on a technicality? What then? Set him loose to wander the streets of New York? Un-extradite him back to Mexico to serve out the rest of his original sentence there? As 3:21 says, this is all part of a plan.

      Also, the defense strategy of "but Mayo's really the boss here and Chapo is an innocent puppet" is reminiscent of another laughable rookie defense: "But your honor, let me explain. Those aren't MY illegal drugs that were found on my person/property, they're my FRIEND'S drugs. I was just taking care of them, I wasn't possessing them."

      The real ? here is how are they going to make sure the jury plays ball...

      Thank you Mr. President; what oh the drugs… Yes there’s more of them than ever. They are actually creating new ones all the time. And the demand has increased so much the narcos are making much more $$$ so it’s harder to catch them...So again will need some more money and maybe hire 1000 more agents. You just watch though Mr. President, Mr. DEA director, When Chapo trial is over next month and he is sent to ADX super max for half a dozen life sentences—we are certain that we will have stopped narcotic traffiking forever!
