Clarification on AMLO’s Incorrect Statement About The Source of the La Barbie News

 "Socalj" for Borderland Beat

AMLO stated he believes that the information on La Barbie must have come from US authorities and leaked to the news outlet Milenio...this is false.

During two consecutive morning press conferences, the President of Mexico, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) stated that the information first came from the Milenio news site. AMLO believes the information was leaked by a US agency, as no one would be keeping up with the status of various inmates in the registry.

"It caught my attention that suddenly in a newspaper, and exclusively, it was made known that he was no longer in the prisoner registry. Who is reviewing the list of millions of prisoners? Well, nobody, this was a leak, that's what you need to know, that public life is increasingly public, to know all this." Stated AMLO.

In fact, it was our team here, at Borderland Beat, that first brought to light the current detention status of Edgar Valdez-Villarreal in regard to his custody in the US Federal Bureau of Prisons here. An anonymous online source alerted us to the change in the custody status of the prisoner that was sentenced to nearly 50 years back in 2018. This information was verified via the publicly available online BOP Inmate Locator website. There are several possible reasons for this change as he was previously shown as being held at USP Coleman II. Most likely, based on the timing and his past cooperation with US authorities; "La Barbie" is likely now in protective custody cooperating in the trial against Genaro Garcia Luna.

Recently, Luna's request to have his charges dismissed was denied. Earlier in 2022, records revealed that Garcia Luna had threatened journalists and conspired to have killed several witnesses against him. So if "La Barbie" is in fact set to testify against Luna, his safety in protective custody would be paramount.


Statement from AMLO's Press Conference on 11/30/2022


PRESIDENT ANDRÉS MANUEL LÓPEZ OBRADOR: And we are constantly vigilant so that they are not responsible for crimes because they can be arrested and they leave. Look at what is happening in the United States, it is strange with this Mr. Villarreal, that someone announces that he is no longer in the prisoner registry and we want to know where he is, and the query has been made and there is no precision on the subject, but we are going to continue asking for information.

QUESTION: Are there arrest warrants against 'Barbie'?

PRESIDENT ANDRÉS MANUEL LÓPEZ OBRADOR: Yes, here, but the issue is the United States.

INTERLOCUTOR: But is that if it comes out, you would have to deliver it to Mexico (inaudible), that's right, right?

PRESIDENT ANDRÉS MANUEL LÓPEZ OBRADOR: Yes, but there have been cases where extraditions have even been carried out, also with sentences of many years, and there they make arrangements and they no longer return, they are released.

INTERLOCUTOR: But, then, do you have to deliver it or not, in the event that it comes out?

PRESIDENT ANDRÉS MANUEL LÓPEZ OBRADOR: You don't have to leave, because the sentence is for many years, as long as there is an agreement.

INTERLOCUTOR: If there is an agreement, would you have to deliver it to Mexico, and return it to Mexico?

PRESIDENT ANDRÉS MANUEL LÓPEZ OBRADOR: Oh, if the agreement is reached, in any case, we would have to act, if there are complaints in Mexico.

INTERVENTION: But you say that there are complaints in Mexico.

PRESIDENT ANDRÉS MANUEL LÓPEZ OBRADOR: Well, we must act.

INTERVENTION: And when does he appear lost?

PRESIDENT ANDRÉS MANUEL LÓPEZ OBRADOR: Well, I think the United States government has to clarify it as soon as possible.

It caught my attention that suddenly in a newspaper, and exclusively, it was made known that he was no longer in the prisoner registry. Who is reviewing the list of millions of prisoners? Well, nobody, this was a leak, that's what you need to know, that public life is increasingly public, to know all this.

Very well.

Statement from AMLO's Press Conference on 11/29/2022

INTERLOCUTOR: President, on the issue that the United States released 'La Barbie', what does the Mexican government think? Shouldn't they have extradited him to the country so that he can finish paying his sentence here in the place... instead of releasing him? Or if the Government of Mexico has information that they put 'La Barbie' in a protected witness program?

PRESIDENT ANDRÉS MANUEL LÓPEZ OBRADOR: Well, no.

INTERLOCUTOR: From collaborating witnesses.

PRESIDENT ANDRÉS MANUEL LÓPEZ OBRADOR: It is not yet precisely known if he is still detained or not.

This was announced yesterday by the Milenio newspaper [Borderland Beat first broke the story], who knows what its source is. Of course, it must be a US agency, because there's no way they're looking, right?, on the list of all the prisoners whether they are there or not. Someone knew or wanted to know and leaked the information.

But we also have to see if it is true because the information is being requested, Foreign Relations is already doing it and the Ministry of Public Security is doing it. Today it will be known. If he is not in jail, you have to see what the arrangement was, because his sentence was for several years.

  5. Respect to BB for printing this first. The ''anonymous online source'' was the leak, though, surely? Maybe by one remove, but that's surely where it originated? The easiest way of checking who will testify in the States is by checking prisoner inmate movement, and if that is hushed up, which it often is for such a high profile inmate, then its nearly always an anonymous leak. Often to a journalist who wants to report but has an editor who has ''obligations'', so can't be the first to break the story, until it's already in the public sphere. Who gives it to a site that doesn't have to worry so much about the legal side of things (unless you're being sued by an old Michoacano bastard for showing his number plate). Coming from a journalist point of view here, so hope it all becomes clear, and I hope that Barbie does testify. Along with Arturos vengeful ghost, sat in the dock in his blood spattered white tennis shoes, pointing an accusing finger.

    1. You guys would be surprised who all contacts us out of the blue and how it just snowballs from there. And I also understand that it's painful to hear for the AMLO supporters. But that narco president is a complete fucking moron.

    2. ALMO has dispatched 20 youngster's to a computer room, to create misinformation, in other words paid internet influencers. Last I heard from SIR, they get paid with Tortas de Jamon.

    3. Absolutely agree with you, that “President” is beyond retarded.

    4. Well 4:20 does Elmo pay you with Tortas to make misinformation.
      We all know the March, was just propaganda. It was planned to make it look, like he is the best president, lol.

    9. @Sol. No, I wouldn't be surprised. My point was that when things are ''leaked'' they are leaked to people like BB. That's what the person who briefed AMLO meant. It isn't that complicated. And pretending I'm an AMLO supporter is just disingenuous. I expected nothing else though.

      Delete
    10. @Sol. You say it would be painful to hear for Amlo supporters. Why? Because AMLO was unaware when he was briefed that he had made a minor mistake in terms of where the information that Barbie was no longer in custody came from? Yeah, I bet they are gnashing their teeth and rending their garments...

  8. If any of you think ELMO gives two flicks about the poor , narco violence or anything else that Mexican citizens care about your wrong. He along with all other leaders care only for themselves and the people that contribute to them. Reason he says hugs not bullets is because he doesn’t live in TJ or Juarez. He doesn’t see what the violence really does. He gets his reports and recommendations and blabs his big fat lips and says what people want him to say. What’s worse than the violence in Mexico, normalizing it acting like its no big deal or doesn’t exist. Which is exactly what he does with hugs not bullets.

    1. I totally agree with you, then you have the true lovers of Elmo, creating a smoke screen. A staged propaganda march was done in the city, shaking hands with people that were bused in.

    4. And I’m 7:46 geriatric nut hugger. Elmo is a nit wit. Talking about somebody leaked La Barbies status. A reporter dig it up. What a moron to think anyone can’t just go online and find that info. He should worry about the menchos and mayos and stop with the attention diverting. Worry about giving hugs and taking bribes. Cause when it’s said and done the United States will do exactly what they want. He’s terrified Luna is gonna bring his name out in the spot light.

    5. 625 I can tell you long with a handful of others, haven't watched the actual press conference. You're relying on 3rd party sources to make your comments. It's a case of, "I heard my friends moms uncles cousin grandma said..."

  10. @6.25. How the fuck would Garcia Luna bring his name into the spotlight? Do you know when Luna did what he did? AMLO had nothing to do with that. ''Hugs not bullets led to Los Zetas!!!'' Fuck man....
