"HEARST" for Borderland Beat
Mencho's brother El Rodo is said to have now left Altiplano prison. His official release was spurred by Rodo's lawyers filing an injunction which required he be freed within a 3 hour window.
The FGR sent out a press release in which they gave further details about what led to Rodo’s arrest. They also allege the municipal police were colluding with the CJNG to have Rodo freed.
They further allege the judge gave undue advantages to Rodo's defense team.
The Requirement to Release Rodo
On Sunday, April 28, judge Rogelio León Díaz Villarreal ruled the Mencho’s brother Abraham Oseguera Cervantes, “El Rodo”, should be released from prison but there was no confirmation that Rodo was actually released. To read more about that, please see this previous story.
The next day, on April 29, President Lopez Obrador told reporters that Rodo was still in Altiplano prison.
The delay in his release was reportedly due to a requirement which mandates that the records of all 32 states in Mexico be checked for other pending charges against Rodo before he is released.
Additionally, President Obrador stated that they were asking the US government if they had any pending charges against Rodo, saying “We do not want to act hastily, this is a delicate matter, there is information that must be verified that this person has a history of having been in legal, judicial proceedings in the United States.”
“Imagine if we proceed too hastily and something similar to what happened in the previous administration happens to us: one weekend they just let Mr. Caro Quintero go free. And the next week the claim comes in and they reactivate the arrest warrant again [but] Mr. Caro Quintero was not there, he had already left. He was a fugitive,”
That same day, Rodo’s lawyers filed an injunction which would force prison officials at Altiplano to release Rodo in the next three hours or they would face fines.
The FGR’s Statement Condemning the Judge & Local Police
Then, at about 8:00 pm that same day, the federal Attorney General’s Office (FGR) put out a statement on Twitter in which they said they will appeal the judge’s ruling and they may pursue charges “against various authorities.”
They wrote:
“Such as improper judicial conduct which refused to grant search warrants and gave credibility to questionably edited videos; as well as the judge's neglect in addressing accusations and evidence of Rodo’s serious crimes. And the ominous sense of there being a complicity and cover-up by the municipal police of Autlan and its police directors.”
“It was under these circumstances that the Judge ruled that said person should be released, all while the Judge willfully ignored and failed to evaluate the allegations of the serious crimes committed by Abraham [El Rodo].”
“All of this is yet another example of the unjust bias and inconsistent criteria applied by judges, which should not be determined by each individual judge, but should instead be determined by the law, as stated in Article 19 of the General Constitution of the Republic.”
The FGR Recounts Details of the Raid Which Captured Rodo
At the end of their tweet, the FGR linked to a press release, which gives further details about what led up to detention of Rodo and information about how the logistics of the hearing, saying:
In the early morning hours of April 21, National Guard soldiers spotted three people outside of the home who were carrying firearms. The three people made threats [towards the soldiers] and then walked into the home, closing the door behind them.
Because of this, the National Guard soldiers were obligated to pursue after the people who were inside the home, as they have a legal obligation to pursue a flagrantly criminal act.
Inside the home, the soldiers found Abraham [El Rodo] carrying a long-barrel firearm of 5.56 x 45 caliber, as well as a 9mm pistol.
Abraham was carrying a ‘wallet-bag’ which contained 38 grams of cocaine, 2000 fentanyl pills, and 255 fluoprofentanil tablets.
He was arrested due to his possession of these firearms and drugs, and he was flown to Mexico City, where he presented before the judicial authorities.
It is very important to note that during that incident, relatives of Abraham attempted to hide the true identity of who he is, saying he was instead a man named “Rodolfo Garibay González.
It was proven that said person had obtained a license under this false name, which is in itself a crime.
Officers from the Autlán Municipal Police, filed a complaint against the National Guard soldiers over their action during this incident, despite knowing the soldiers were acting with federal authority.
The officers supported their legal complaint with false evidence which was procured through the further collusion and complicity of the local police, which went as far up the chain of command as to reach the deputy police director.
That same collusion continued when police officers were presented as witnesses for the defense of Abraham during the hearing.
During the hearing to determine if Abraham was legally detained, Rodo and his team of lawyers requested the hearing be delayed several days so they could properly prepare their defense, which was granted.
When the hearing occurred, the defense team presented small clips of video which was edited in a non-chronological way. The video entered into evidence did not have the proper technical documents which are needed to determine if the footage is credible and un-altered.
Their video clips were not given to prosecutors far enough ahead of time in discovery, as is legally required. The video was handed over two hours before the hearing and this prevented prosecutors from being able to evaluate the credibility of the footage. The failure of the defense to hand over the footage to prosecutors in a timely manner left prosecutors unable to form a proper argument before the court.
It was under these circumstances, and based upon the unverified video, that the Judge ruled that the detention of Abraham was unlawful, all while the judge refused to evaluate the state’s allegations about the serious crimes he committed.
Because of this improper judicial conduct, an unfair advantage was given to the defendant and this is the basis for our appeal. And we will immediately file legal complaints against the Autlán Municipal Police.
Rodo Has Officially Left Prison
The publication Informador wrote this morning, April 30, that “sources within the prison system” told them that Rodo has left Altiplano.
They write that “the Attorney General's Office (FGR) was unable to file another criminal case with Rodo to keep him in prison.”
The following video shows Rodo walking out of Altiplano.

The Larger Conversation About Judges in Mexico
President Lopez Obrador has highlighted this incident as an example of the inaccuracies he says were present in a recent US State Department report, the “2023 Country Reports on Human Rights Violations.”
The report, which has been put out annually since 1977, evaluates over 100 countries according to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international agreements.
Last week, the president of Mexico took issue with the 2023 report (which is published in 2024) on Mexico, saying the US State department were “liars” and the US was a nation that was “stagnant” and “in decline”.
President Obrador claimed the report being written violated the sovereignty of Mexico and presumably every other one of the countries profiled.
It's worth noting that the report profiles a comprehensive list of countries, including some of the US’s closest allies, like Canada and the UK.
Yesterday, the President used the judge’s ruling to free Rodo as an example of why he is critical of the judiciary in Mexico, saying "A judge is wanting to release an alleged criminal, a famous one.”
“So is this now enough to send a message to [US Secretary of State] Blinken? To the [US] State Department? What are we left with now? Look, you are defending the judges and look at what they are doing.
President Obrador’s specific call out Secretary Blinken is interesting.
The beginning of the State Department’s report includes an executive summary of the important global changes which is signed by Secretary Blinken.
This summary mentions Mexico only to commended it on its “advances in implementing labor reforms in Mexico, where workers are overcoming obstacles to organizing and starting to improve working conditions,” which is an issue that AMLO’s administration has prioritized.
In terms of international relations, the specific callout of Mexico’s advancement in an area that AMLO has championed was likely intended to be a friendly gesture towards the Obrador administration.
Specifics of the Report
The summary on specifically Mexico’s report begins with “there were no significant changes in the human rights situation in Mexico during the year.”
It goes on to say that:
Significant human rights issues included credible reports of:
- unlawful or arbitrary killings, including extrajudicial killings;
- enforced disappearance; torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment by security forces;
- harsh and life-threatening prison conditions
- arbitrary arrest or detention
- serious problems with the independence of the judiciary;
- serious restrictions on freedom of expression and media freedom, including violence against journalists and enforcement of or threat to enforce criminal libel laws to limit expression; serious government corruption;
- extensive gender-based violence, including domestic or intimate partner violence, sexual violence, workplace violence, child, early, and forced marriage, femicide,
President Obrador disputed the report’s statements about his administration’s conflicts with the judiciary branch, local human rights groups, and personal attacks against members of the press, including the doxing of a New York Times writer.
When the report covered Mexico’s judiciary, it did highlight an instance of cartel corruption of the judiciary without the full context of the situation. The report writes about the judiciary:
E. DENIAL OF FAIR PUBLIC TRIAL
Although the constitution and law provided for an independent judiciary, court decisions were susceptible to improper influence by both private and public entities, particularly at the state and local level, as well as by transnational criminal organizations. Authorities sometimes failed to respect court orders, and arrest warrants were sometimes ignored, consistent with the lack of judicial independence and rule of law throughout the legal system. Across the criminal justice system, many actors lacked the necessary training and capacity to carry out their duties fairly and consistently in line with the principle of equal justice.
President López Obrador and other government actors verbally attacked the judiciary, particularly the Supreme Court, criticizing judges who ruled against the administration on numerous occasions. In March, during a massive rally in Mexico City, government supporters burned an effigy of Chief Justice Norma Piña, accusing her of corruption. In May, Veracruz Governor Cuitlahuac Garcia led a demonstration in Mexico City where supporters carried coffins with the names of seven of the 11 Supreme Court justices and accused them of siding with conservative opponents and ruling against administration priorities.
On June 16, the National Guard detained Judge Angélica Sánchez Hernández without an arrest warrant in Mexico City for alleged crimes against public faith and influence peddling after she ordered the release of murder suspect Itiel Palacios from pretrial detention. A federal judge ordered her immediate release after concluding local authorities violated the suspension of an injunction Hernández obtained on July 9. Authorities previously arrested Sánchez Hernández on June 5 for allegedly shooting at police officers, which she denied, and was later released. She remained under house arrest while the investigations continued.
So, on one hand, the section opens by acknowledging the issue of cartel groups (or “transnational criminal organizations”) corrupting the judicial system, but on the other hand it also fails to highlight that the “murder suspect”, Itiel Palacios, is a known cartel figure and there was significant concern of cartel corruption surrounding Itiel’s release.
That being said, choosing to detain judges without an arrest warrant is an ineffective (and easily reversed) move. Avoiding actions like that would strengthen the focus paid to the actual issue of cartel corruption.

Corrupt ass judges.
ReplyDeleteI think they paid more than just the judge for this lol
DeleteEl es el mencho, se les pelo baltazar, diabetes lo hizo gordito. When you have enough money, diabetes goes reverse and instead of being at a super loss of protein it gets stored so you can live a decade more.
Delete1114 did you read the article. They confirmed it was the brother all the while the family was trying to deny his identity.
DeleteOrale, coño.
DeleteHEARST recently said on a previous comment regarding judges, that some are paid off, but others are threatened and know where their families live, and therefore the cartel criminal is freed.
DeleteMexico government can't protect its judges from being killed.

DeleteMost of us here have friends and family in Mexico and travel to Mexico frequently. We are aware of the difficulties that judges face. Our goal here is to make anglophones aware of what is going on in Mexico.

DeleteWhat goes on in Mexico is important to the U.S. First, nearly two million U.S. citizens reside in Mexico at least part time. More U.S. citizens visit Mexico than any other country in the world. Mexico is only one of two countries that share a long border with the U.S. and violence in Mexico frequently spills over into the U.S. Mexico is the number one trading partner with the U.S. Most illegal drugs entering into the U.S. are either manufactured in Mexico or transits through Mexico. Most illegal aliens that enter the U.S. are either Mexican citizens or foreign citizens (including citizens from countries where terrorists originates) who transit through Mexico.
Whatever occurs in Mexico has a profound impact on the U.S. In order to create effective policy in the U.S., it is imperative that U.S. voters and politicians understand what is going on in Mexico. The problem is that U.S. media reports very little on what occurs in Mexico and news in Mexico is not in English. Sites like Borderlandbeat help educate Americans on what is actually occurring in Mexico.
@12:30 That's why in the voting ballots it should say,

If it say Republican party, it's misleading and misinforming the public. It's a lie.

@1114 diabetes?? What are u talking about?? 🤦♂️ 🤦♂️ 🤦♂️
DeleteBecuase you're the expert right? i swear gringos watch sicaro twice and they think they know everything about Mexico. Since you clearly know more about Mexico than even Mexicans, what parts of the country have recieved the most investments in the past 3 years? which port of entry captured the most firearms being smuggled into mexico from the U.S.? How many americans have been arrested in just the past 6 months while trying to smuggle firearms into Mexico? "Making anglophones of what really goes on in Mexico". How much do Soldiers get paid? what benefits do they receive?
DeleteAll around México displaying its MO. What else is new?
ReplyDeleteExcellent article
ReplyDeleteI once got arrested for being drunk and fighting in Mexico. I did 36 hours in the town plaza presidencia jail before they released me. I think this fat ugly clown Rodo did less time than me and he was busted with drugs and guns. The whole Mexican judicial system is a joke. Nuff Said!!!
ReplyDelete" Soy Mencho guey ! " ... if mencho dead then who ever running the 4 letters got some real pull and the organization is still intact for the most part..
ReplyDeleteConnor bonnor mencho ESTA muerto.
DeleteOtros Lt's controllan El cartel.
Literally everyone who could has already confirmed that Mencho is alive, and all sorts of idiots in the BB comments continue to claim that he is dead.
DeleteAnd the release of Rodo is another proof, without Mencho no one would have tried so hard to free him.
Another BIG clue that Mencho ESTA vivo. Asi o mas claro?
Delete11:21 believe want you want, it's a fact he died approximately 2 years ago.
DeleteYou forgot the illness he had. Next your going to say he had a press conference underground on live TV. Other hardliners are keeping CJNG alive and active.🤣😂
12:47, his illness is only a problem when you have no money or you live in a country without universal healthcare.
DeleteYou fool 11:21 Rodo was not released by Mencho get a grip.Mencho is no where to be found. Think think how do you think Rodo was set free?
Delete2:15 Think about what you wrote. What do you mean it's nowhere to be found? Many of the drug lords are nowhere to be found lmao.
DeleteNo one except Mencho cares about Abraham.
12:47 What are these “facts” bro? Are statements from the low press like el blog del narco already enough to believe in all the rumors? They declare with the same confidence that the people on the Netflix set are Mencho’s personal escorts as they say about his death lol.

DeleteNot saying he’s innocent but he definitely wasn’t carrying a rifle and guns…let alone fentanyl and perico like a regular tirador. I get they plant or say that he was carrying those things to help charges stick until they’re able to process him for the bigger stuff (being part of a criminal enterprise). Either way it’s a form of planting evidence…
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that it seems somewhat unlikely that a 70 year old man was walking around, brandishing a firearm and yelling threats at soldiers at 3:00 am.
DeleteThe FGR statement “se trata de conductas judiciales negativas para impedir cateos” alludes to judges not granting search warrants to search for cartel guys.
I wish they had expanded upon this and emphasized it more because I think the larger problem is judges refusing to allow investigators to go after the cartel capos with search warrants, so instead feds are stuck going after the capos without a warrant and they invent probable cause on the spot with stories like this.
We all seen the capture of Ovidio back in 2019. Why weren't these NG not wearing some type of body worn camera. That would settle any disputes between the judges and the prosecutors.
Delete70 years old but with a couple of pistos and a brother like Mencho, oh yeah, he'll definitely be yelling at all hours of the night. I've seen too many old men act like that plenty of times. It's completely within reason he was acting like a "little bad ass" at that age considering the circumstances.
DeleteHearst:
DeleteI disagree with your analysis in this case. I believe he was using the product that he was captured with. This causes erratic behavior. I'm hoping that you aren't implying that he's too old to raise hell because he's about the same age that I am. I've known a few hell raisers who were hell raisers right up to their deaths.
Most of these guys don't keep decent hours like folks who have jobs who have to get up in the morning. We've all seen narcos with a pistol tucked in their belt and occasionally with a long arm in their truck. This is certainly consistent with narco behavior. The NG most likely stumbled on him per chance and pursued him into his house and did in fact seize the guns and drugs. I don't believe that either the drugs or guns were planted in this case.
The municipal police are without a doubt fully in the narcos pocket because there is no way that an honest policeman could survive in a town controlled by narcos.
The problem with the judges is that Mexico cannot guarantee the safety of their judges. Mexico needs to place judges and prosecutors on military garrisons so that they can do their jobs without fear for their safety and the safety of their family members.
@4:13 You might be right, Detroit. I know 70+ year olds can certainly fire off guns and be belligerent. I did link to some examples of guys doing just that in my last story in order to emphasize it being possible.
DeleteBut I guess the part that I'm struggling to understand is why would NG soldiers be sent out to patrol one of quietest parts of Autlan, the outskirts of it really, at 3:00 am when the town is relatively peaceful?
The point of a patrol is to spot trouble, survey the area, and to be seen by residents, giving the community a sense of security. None of that can be done in the dead of night when it's pitch black out. And normal NG patrols are not given equipment to see in the dark, so I can't make sense of it.
Hearst:
DeleteNot all hellraisers are hellraisers in a negative way. I have had friends who have never been arrested but still have put police in their place because cops nowadays seem to be overly aggressive, a la Derek Chauvin et. al., even with old people. I am a strong supporter of the police but I'm not afraid to stand up to any cop who acts like an ass.
The police mostly concentrate on high crime areas. However, they also patrol calm areas, just less frequently. The NG seems to be treated like a stepchild because they often seem to lack a clear mission.
I don't believe that the NG was sent into this area to specifically look for trouble. I believe that they just stumbled on to it. The U.S. is supposedly a first world country but the police on patrol in the U.S. generally lacks night vision equipment. I see nothing unusual about the NG patrolling without night equipment. If they were sent on a specific mission in the middle of the night they might have night vision equipment. Look at law enforcement in the U.S., when patrol officers respond to a call at night they usually rely on flashlights rather than night vision equipment and this is the 21st century. There's nothing unusual about the NGs lack of night vision equipment on a routine patrol.
Doing routine patrols in the city of Detroit, been there, done that. Undercover work, been there, done that. Developing a complex case, been there, done that. Federal indictments, been there, done that. It may have been a few years since I've been in law enforcement, however, the fundamentals never change.
As long as Amlo gets his cut he doesn’t care.
ReplyDeleteBut but but but Amlo, has said he is clean as a whistle, that there is no corruption in his cabinet, no Fentyl is produced in his country.
DeleteCartels respect citizens.
That all crimes are investigated.
I think he says that to continue getting bribes money 💰,.
Did you guys read the article. AMLO has continuously criticized Mexicos judicial system. The article states that the U.S has given him backlash for doing so.

DeleteThat's only window dressing. ELMO "criticizes" to look good with the cameras but in the end he doesn't give a shit.

US gave no backlash, US did mentioned Mexico is "Stagnant and in decline".
In other words Mexico is going to hell.

good for mexico taking legal proceedings seriously. very promising
ReplyDeleteyeah he had all the rifles and guns. He doesnt even look like capable of lifting an AK.
ReplyDeleteAnd the drugs, in his gucci waist bag, LOL. Those soldiers should find better causes to raid homes. Pretty sure he had cctv at like so many mexicans. What should the judge do when he is presented video footage of an old men sleeping and than NG breaking doors and storming in. Now he is aware, everybody moving, new phones, new houses....NG is a fucking bunch of beginners.
It was never gonna stick, he was not even handcuffed when he was being transported to jail. All a political party
ReplyDeleteThey did cavity search him though
DeleteNot sure I know the exact play
ReplyDeleteBut US doesn’t have him on an indictment
So this is maybe just Mexico sending a message to CJNG leadership
I was also wondering why he wasn't indicted in the US.
DeleteMaybe it's a failure of US intelligence to not have indicted him yet. Or maybe Mencho and parts of the Mexican government are trying to present Rodo as being far more important than he actually is - use a fall guy to lessen the pressure on the CJNG.
But if that were the case, why did they go through all this trouble to have him released? When someone is released in such a high profile way, doesn't that increase the pressure on CJNG and Mexican law enforcement?
There's something more to this that I can't figure out.
Hearst:
DeleteIt's complicated when you indict a foreign national for crimes committed on foreign soil. The U.S. doesn't have subpoena power in Mexico so can't subpoena any witnesses who are in Mexico. In these cases the witnesses are generally in the U.S., most often being held on criminal charges. There is a real possibility that the U.S. has a mountain of evidence on Rodo. The problem is, all of the evidence in the world is useless if you can't produce the witnesses.
There is nothing unusual in this case. The NG most likely stumbled on Rodo by chance and were astute enough to suspect that he was providing false identification. Being that this was an unplanned arrest the government didn't have everything prepared to pursue organized crime charges. They had a case for possession of drugs and firearms, but as we can see the judge was either too concerned for his safety or was on the take.
The facts are clear. There is nothing more to this story.
"U.S. Intelligence" failure? who do you think cartels get their intelligence and firearms from? He's free because the U.S. more than likely threatened Mexico for arresting an American asset.
DeleteThat's power

Delete11:25 Got any proof of what you claim happened? Chapitos getting taken by force, ragdolled and kicked by armed men is on video. No way of disputing that.
DeleteWho had them levantados?
Some people from Sinaloa have publicly said they did it. Puerto Vallarta is 99% controlled by CJNG. Chapitos had been partying there for days. You really think they weren't ID? Maybe they "checked in" with those who control PV and that's why until La Leche nothing had happened to them.
To think CJNG was in a weak position in that incident is ludicrous. Put the pom-poms away. If Chapitos needed to be killed they would have been dead. They only survived because El MV had no problem with them.

DeleteDoesn't everyone walk around inside their house with 38 grams of cocaine, 2000 fentanyl pills, and 255 fluoprofentanil tablets in their fanny pack, carrying a goat horn? Something not right about this story....
ReplyDeleteEven the corrido says otherwise, and everybody knows that the corridos never lie...
The president has given himself the powers of absolute monarch to forgive any crime, of any criminal, at any time he wants of the process and in a discretionary way. What about the rights of the victims? Those don't matter. Amlo passed the amnesty for criminals

ReplyDeleteThat's to cover his ass for the future. What else could be expected? Why complain about judges? The whole system is set up against itself.
DeleteWTF is the so-called Attorney General Alejandro Gertz Manero?

Judge's kids get to go to college in Switzerland.
At age 70, and no spring chicken, Rodo to continue his scurrilous speedball habit till it kills him, but he'll go to ground, WAY out of the limelight, and will only resurface as the hero of corridos and the stuff of legends..

Delete#942 Nope, it’s theLizard
DeleteLizard boy still using 2 periods.
DeleteWhere's the grammar police, that told him to go back to night school classes? Because Lizard had told another to go to night school.😆🤣
Lizard is "KING".
Delete759 don't take it personal. El Lagarto told you to go back to night school because you use commas and periods where they don't belong. You also made it evident that you have the reading comprehension of a 3rd grader when you thought the U.S told Mexico that they were stagnant and in decline, which in reality, it was the other way around. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you should ask Detroit to explain what this article is about, and maybe after you can buy him some flowers and chocolates. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
DeleteForget the Liz 🦎, Detroit is king 👑
DeleteLizard is KING
DeleteI think Lizard got run over by a Buracho.
DeleteHis neighborhood had a lot of lawless things going on, he should have crossed over the wall to America.

ReplyDeleteBazookas, old 1970s flame throwers, tanks that look like during the Hitler era, helicopters that came from Russia from the 1970s, Huey helicopters that look from Vietnam era, some Blackhawks from USA they look up to date, gas masks that look from the 1960s.

DeleteWhen a high level cartel member or associate gets imprisoned in Mexico, expect them to be released shortly after their arrest. This elderly pretty boy is no different.
ReplyDeleteIn an interview with journalist Azucena Uresti for Radio Formula, he explained that on that Sunday, elements of the National Guard (GN) entered the home of ‘Don Rodo’ while he and his family were sleeping.
ReplyDelete“They enter, break the door, go into their son’s bedroom, hit him and force him to kneel. They go up to the upper floor and there was the man (Don Rodo) resting with his daughter, a girl under 10 years old who has Down syndrome, who they scared… forget it,” the defender recounted.
It was indicated that, once identified, the Armed Forces personnel took ‘Don Rodo’ to the stairs, who was walking dragging his feet due to a recent cancer operation and other medical conditions that are already affecting his quality of life, such as hypertension and diabetes.
After a several-hour initial hearing, on April 28th, Judge Díaz Villareal decided not to charge Oseguera González with involvement in the crimes of carrying firearms exclusively used by the Army, Navy, and Air Force and against health in the form of possession of fentanyl and cocaine for commercial purposes, specifically for sale.
And it is that, among other arguments, he pointed out that ‘Don Rodo’s health would not allow him to flee from the authorities or carry a firearm, as indicated in the Homologated Police Report (IPH).
Regarding this matter, Victor Francisco Beltrán states that although ‘Don Rodo’ is indeed the brother of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, alias ‘El Mencho’, he has no relation to his father’s illegal activities, as he is dedicated to farming.
“There is a blood relationship but they are completely dedicated to different occupations. Just because he is his brother doesn’t mean he is a delinquent person,” he pointed out in an interview for Milenio.

DeleteThe problem with your story is that he was walking fine when taken into custody, not "dragging his feet".
Super important context for this. This is the story as told by Rodo's main defense lawyer - Victor Francisco Beltrán.
DeleteThis lawyer was sanctioned by the US in 2019.
https://www.dea.gov/press-releases/2019/05/17/major-financial-sanctions-announced-against-mexicos-largest-drug-cartel
Rodo isn't even sanctioned by the US...
That means it was easier to find evidence of this lawyer's scummy crimes than it was his client's. Reflect on that for a minute.
Btw, Victor Beltran was Menchito's defense lawyer for Mexican legal proceedings. Guess he's on retainer for the whole Oseguera family.
Delete3:35 also for Rosalinda when she was released the first time.
DeleteGood point. Good info.
DeleteCorrupt cops planted the coke & fentanyl on this guy! That's how it is in the streets/politics. If they can't find you, they'll go after your loved ones/people close to you. They want mencho so bad they go after everybody or anybody related in anyway to him. It's just how it is!
