Lilia and Celia: “ El Chapo’s “ Trusted Cooks [Video ]

 Yaqui for Borderland Beat from: Vanguardia


The cooks of "El Chapo": the women he trusted who were arrested with him ... could spend their entire lives in jail. Lilia and Celia worked with the narco chief for 8 years, until the day of his last recapture in Los Mochis, where they were also apprehended.

Their names are Lilia and Celia, of 33 and 40 years , respectively. For 8 years they were the "trusted" cooks of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán , and with him they were arrested on January 8, 2016, when federal forces recaptured the leader of the Sinaloa Cartel for the last time .

Today, the two women are imprisoned in the federal women's prison of Coatlán del Río , Morelos state, accused of organized crime, carrying a firearm exclusively for the Army and carrying a weapon without a license.

            
                                            Operation Cisne Negro or Black Swan

According to federal authorities, during the "Black Swan" operation that led to the reappehension of "El Chapo" in the Las Palmas subdivision of the city of Los Mochis, in Sinaloa , the two women were in a room, with long weapons in their hands and protected with bulletproof vests.

His lawyers and relatives, however, assure that the authorities have not presented evidence to support the accusations against the cooks of the "Chapo" and even affirm that there are images that show that they were unarmed and hidden in a bathroom at the time of their detention, in the house located at number 1002 Boulevard Jiquilpán corner with Río Quelite.


According to her statements, Lilia and Celia were among the most trusted people of  "El Chapo" and those who, through their occupations, attended to the members of their organization. 

The federal authorities even presume that the women accompanied him during the time he was hiding in the Sierra de Durango, in a place known as La Piedrosa, located in the municipality of Tamazula.

His case has called attention again, due to the trial against Guzmán Loera in New York, and his relatives have taken the opportunity to ask the Mexican media for the release of women.

Originally from the state of Durango , "El Chapo's" cooks have only elementary studies and Celia is a single mother. "When she met him, the truth did give her great joy, because all the people on the ranches know that he, "El Chapo", helps people," Mary Sanchez, sister of Celia, told a Univision newscast.

"I used to tell him that he had to look for another type of job, that his son had a job and there was another way of working, but he did not pay attention anyway," he added.

Celia and Lilia will serve three years in prison next January, and their chances of freedom seem as far away as that of their former boss, whom they accompanied until the last day of his escape.

    1. It probably wasn’t the type of job where they could say, “ sorry Chapo, but I found another job, here’s my 2 weeks notice”.

  2. It was an honest job and not smuggling like others. See no need for her incarceration because of supposedly caring a firearm. Which I am sure is a fabrication of sorts to keep them confined.
    Let's look at the facts; how many others walk free from carrying a weapon? So why should this be any different? An honest job like many white collar criminals who have their needs attended by hired help?

    1. Stupid comment, “how many walk free from carrying a weapon?” Weapons are illegal in Mexico I mean I know you think you’re a smart a** while you’ve spent the last 10 years commenting like you’re a cartel member with inside info but your comment lacks common sense, most of yours do. She was in a house full of weapons that got into a shootout with the Mexican military while the worlds most wanted man escaped. Name one person that’s walked away from that? Childish comment really childish. Get your mom to buy you a tv or bicycle to play with when she’s done with your pizza rolls.

    2. E42 it is an irony that the lady cooks are incarcerated for weapon's, but you here all this criminals, but with weapons and are let out in 1 to 2 months. Seems the government likes the other growing cartel. And no longer care, about the s cartel.

  5. You are asked to cook for the hero in your community. He knows you won't poison the meal because you are from the same place. The community prospered because of El Chapo who's supporter includes even a pitcher from the Toronto Blue Jays.

    The cooks were honored, but then they started wearing body armor and had guns. They had crossed a line between Betty Crocker and Romeo's poison. So they are busted and asked how they cooked in that gear. They had no simple answers.

    Now they go to jail, really kind've sad.

    1. The Mexican military and army said they had firearms and bulletproof vest; I don’t believe that for a minute; Just look at these ladies—They look like some well-trained, ruthless, merciless assassins— are you kidding me!! another example of the abuses that the Mexican military drug
      trafficking organization, because honestly, ultimately that’s what they are—Brutalizing and terrorizing honest hard-working people.
      If my memory serves me correctly I believe the incorruptible Mexican marina responsible for the op?

      And for those of you unfamiliar with the corruption in Mexico read Charles Bowden book about narcos and Mexico— or just take the Mexican militaries word for it 1152
      Ijust hope that you’re never in Mexico at their mercy with no money, and even if you’ve done nothing wrong you’re afraid for your life because they are corrupt dishonest criminals or most of them are and that’s the truth.
      I’ve lost count of the number of times in my life where I’ve been pulled over by some type of law-enforcement in Mexico (Ironically because of my appearance) and even though I’ve done nothing wrong I have to pay the man or whoever happens to be the authority figure pulling me over.

      I’ve been there. it’s real. I know it used to happen all of the time 30-60 years ago, And I suspect that it’s actually even more prevalent today.
      The Mexican military is just pissed off at them because they worked for El Chapo even if the work is legal and they had no knowledge of his criminal activities, perhaps they had suspicions but I don’t for a minute believe these ladies are criminals. They need to be set free.

      You know when I think of it what we should do here in America in the case of Bernie Madoff...I think we should just throw all of his housekeeping staff drivers accountants everybody that worked with him even if they had no knowledge of his crimes should be thrown in jail for life...right?? Not!!

      And why 1152??
      because that is how A real justice system and judiciary work.

    6. Yeah the lics must have killed Bravo,he was a long time main man of chapo.And yes the sicario 006 shit was always lame,im sorry but chivis did big him up,peoples sense of humor is different,to me it was always on some goofy shit

    7. I think El Cholo just ran his security in Los Mochis. I don’t think he was his actual head of security full time. When Chapo came to Mochis Ivan Cholo was in charge. Ivan had a fairly large and powerful presence.

      If he was freeded I think he would be far more respected than Los Chapitos. He knows what it is like to work hard and to respect people even if they are poor.

      Los Chapitos your extortion will end soon. You fucked up.
