In the United States, the second hearing of the Miguel Ángel  and Omar Treviño Morales brothers, the leaders and founders of the ZETAS Cartel, was held today. They showed their muscle and the amount of money they have to pay for their defense. We have already told you about the Dream Team here. Nine lawyers were sitting there defending them. 

This report is from my colleague Ángel Hernández. In the federal court in Washington, the second hearing was held against Miguel Ángel Treviño Morales, alias "El Z40," accused of drug trafficking along with his brother, Omar "El Z42," who did not appear due to scheduling complications. 

Minutes before 11:00 a.m., the chains that bind him could be heard in the courtroom. Treviño arrived accompanied by Alfredo Rangel, alias "El Chicles," former plaza boss of the criminal group in Miguel Alemán, Tamaulipas. "El Z40" was dressed in a white shirt, blue overalls, glasses, and his hair was almost A shaved head, as well as a growing beard, shook hands with his lawyers and then, notebook in hand, listened to the judge, the prosecutor, and his defense attorneys. 

Alfredo Rangel, dressed in orange and also wearing glasses, paid equal attention. The nine people who formed part of the Treviño brothers' legal team stood out in front of the three representatives of the U.S. Attorney's Office, led by Frank Pérez, Eduardo Balareso, lawyers also for Ismael Zambada García, El Mayo, and a former lawyer for Joaquín Guzmán Loera, El Chapo. They completely filled the defendants' table. Prosecutor Kenneth Hendrick presented the status of the evidence in the case: 490,000 intercepted calls, transcripts, summaries of information, and other evidence, a total of 4.9 million files that are part of the investigation in Houston, plus another wealth of evidence that the offices of Dallas and Laredo, in addition to the Mexican government, have not yet filed a complaint. 

The judge determined that the third hearing will be on October 14, once the prosecution decides whether it will seek the death penalty against the defendants. He announced that he is preparing motions to demonstrate a potential conflict of interest for Eduardo Balareso, one of the Z40 lawyers, as he is the legal representative of another co-defendant in the case. This is Gilberto Barragán Valderas, alias the former Gulf Cartel leader who was extradited to the United States in 2020. In response, the lawyer denied that he had a conflict of interest and warned that he should demand an explanation as to how Mexico handed the Treviño brothers over to the United States last February because it was clearly not an extradition.

      Car washing in Mexico must pay good $$$ for the trevino scum to pay 9 top-of-the-line expensive lawyers for their defense. When the jury sees this gang of abogados, for sure they will believe they aren't involved in major drug trafficking, murder and being cartel leaders.

  6. With so many defense lawyers crowding the courtroom, there's that slim chance that the defendands can blend in with the suits, create some sort of distraction, disarm & neutralize the federal marshalls, and cunningly escape the courthouse in the ensuing confusion!
    Remember you foos, you heard it here first!

  15. I lost a trial case in Texas, there were almost 6000 pages of evidence in my case and my name appeared maybe 10 times. Texas is really good at fear mongering, they charge about $1 per page so for any one to see my case they have to pay the court approx $6000. I don’t like but respect these people and hope they bring a good argument against the state of Texas and hopefully make some case law. But the way Texas responded to my case is they just changed their laws to make the laws they were breaking legal.

  16. All of that CIA protection they’ve enjoyed.
