“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat
Today, Eric Valencia Salazar—a co-founder of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, known by the aliases "El 85" or "El Matazetas"—pleaded guilty to cocaine trafficking. He is seeking procedural benefits or a reduction in his sentence, the details of which are scheduled to be announced on July 31 of this year.
Eric Valencia Salazar pleaded guilty to trafficking cocaine from Mexico into the United States. A native of Jalisco, he was an associate of Mexican criminals such as Ignacio "Nacho" Coronel Villarreal and Óscar "El Lobo" Nava Valencia, and he played a role in the founding of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.
This Tuesday, he appeared before Judge James Boasberg at the courthouse in Washington, D.C. Operating under the alias "El 85," he was arrested in Mexico on two occasions: in 2012 in Zapopan, Jalisco, and in 2022 in Tapalpa—the same municipality where "El Mencho" was killed.
Valencia faced only one charge: cocaine trafficking, to which he pleaded guilty more than a year after being extradited. The plea agreement aims to secure a reduction in his sentence or grant him procedural benefits. However, that determination ultimately rests with the U.S. prosecution and the presiding judge at the time of sentencing.
"El 85" is currently being held at the Federal Detention Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He is the first high-profile drug trafficker to reach a plea agreement among the nearly 100 individuals Mexico has extradited to the United States since February of last year.
Mexican authorities assert that Valencia Salazar became involved in cocaine trafficking as an operative for Ignacio Coronel—alongside former leaders of the Milenio Cartel, Óscar and Juan Carlos Valencia (known as "El Lobo" and "El Tigre")—and that he also participated in the founding of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) alongside Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, alias "El Mencho."
This alliance reportedly lasted until the latter—"El Mencho"—betrayed "El 85" by handing him over to Mexican authorities in 2012. Consequently, after securing his release due to procedural errors in his case, Valencia joined a CJNG splinter group known as the Nueva Plaza Cartel, which sought to curb the Jalisco Cartel's expansion, remaining active until his most recent arrest in 2022.
Valencia Salazar is scheduled to be sentenced on July 31; by that date, both the defense and the U.S. prosecution must have submitted their respective sentencing memoranda.

That video where they've got the Mayiza mob eating chocolate was fucking devastating. 🤣
ReplyDelete🤣🤣🤣 those Mayiza guys are the real Gilbertonas
DeleteThe proud douchebags of Nuff Nation demand to see this video, Don Sol!!!
DeletePrincess sol
DeleteThey can afford chocolate? I hate those Mayizas.
Delete@ Sol. You'll be training 5 year olds to follow your shit next, with toddler emojis. The funniest thing about your comment is that nobody even got the "joke". A man is made to put his tongue against a pair of jeans, and you're beside yourself all flappy handed, cos he was "Eating Chocolate" LOLOLOLOLOL. It was teenagers, it was weak, and fucking weird. And you commenting that is weak, aimed at teenagers, and fucking weird.
DeleteOnly a child, or a cynical hack aiming their shit at children, would pretend that forcing dead men to lick trousers was "devastating". How old are you, 15?
DeleteYou can't even pretend to stand up to the simple standards of decency when dealing with tortured murdered people can you, you fuck? Let me guess, they were guilty cos Micas "sources" told you so? The same middlemen who talk to a dozen different "influencers"? Or did it just make you laugh, some random dude being filmed after hours of fear and torture forced to humiliate themselves like that? Only sheltered bitches laugh at that shit.
@8.40. You're a kiss ass dipshit, but the video is right up your alley. It's a tortured man pretending to lick another mans ass, even though the other man is fully dressed. It's the most pathetic attempt at humiliation I've ever seen, but Sol has a fucking low bar for everything.
DeleteCaman girls, just be a witness and learn to behave yerselfs before you end up eating chockolates for reals with the Big Gorilla Gangs, working for shoes from Goodwill.
DeleteNothing to say Sol? You used to respond to me, calling me a cripple with chuckle emojis because I've been where you'll never go. If you were a real Soldado you'd be fucking disgusted by that shit, but still you chuckle. If you knew the first thing about Colima and 85 you'd say something about it, but still you chuckle. You're a court jester punching down.
DeleteYou guys fall for Sol’s troll every time. Heres a little tip just ignore him he wants you to have your little freak outs and hes living rent free in your brains.
Delete9:32 cállese losiko pinchi Gilbertona, go to your nearest bar and get una pinchi madriza.
Delete@12.09. I'm not falling for anything. I wrote all of the above, and he isn't trolling, he means it. He's been laughing at tortured victims for decades because he's sheltered and stupid, like so many who work behind a computer. He's on Micas vanity project now with his "special sauces"- the same middlemen everybody deals with IF they think the "journalist" serves a purpose- and the video is called "Tossing the Salad with The Mayiza Mob"
DeleteOh those "special sauces" must have loved that one.
@3.50. You talking to me? "Gilbertona?"
DeleteYou silly little bitch.
@12.41. Jesus. Eating "Chockolates For Reals with Big Gorilla Gangs", and "shoes from Goodwill"? Which are you more afraid of lol, black men or your peers mocking your families lack of money? Clown.
Delete817 sure thing mijo
Delete@10.39. I'm 49, so don't call me Mijo. Sol is a translator stung by the ingrates he encouraged, and Mica is hilarious. People call him a Chapitos cheerleader and he denies it, but refuses to admit his only real access comes from one side. Did anybody read his first account of flying to Sinaloa, then when Panu died he revealed the real story? It was embarrassing on every level. It was aimed at children who wonder what it must be like to meet a CARTEL ENFORCER who could have "killed me at any moment" lol. Dozens of people met Panu, IF they believed it would serve their purpose.
DeleteThere's a book coming out soon by Mica. Beware. Cartel Insider had a story recently about a mining company flyover shot down because of interference, somebody commented "They were Probly THE CIA!!!", and Mica's response?
"Good Comment!".
520 your easily triggered and butt hurt by Sol don't lie to yourself. Move on ignore his comments act more like a 49 year old you claim to be.
Delete@7.08. "Easily triggered and Butt hurt?" For fucks sake man, say something.
DeleteRosalinda , 03 y su jefe el Maradona Valencia son los que van a mantener a las 4 letras como un super cartelon alv .. en alianza con el trebol , ivan y alfredo. El negocio sigue alv

DeleteBut any information about Inés Oseguera, Mencho's cousin, specially fotos, would be mighty welcome, heard she used to be married to El Tisico or El Cenizo who came back to michuakan from Tamaulipas' prison to get murdered...
Porque es que toda esa clicka del CJNG y los Valencia tienen cara de puñales ? La neta, sin alucinar cabrones.. contestenme esa pregunta no mas .. Desde el mencho y el jotito de su hijo, el maradona, el 03 este puto del 85 el Abigail Valencia todos esos pendejos tiene cara de juangas

Delete6:46 catalanes, brasileiros' portuguese, guinneas and donald trompf have very undistinct UGLY faces, but Brazileiras have the most beautiful natural arsehoods, just put a pillow on their faces.
Delete@6:46 I know what exactly you mean. It’s the michoacano genetics man, over in Cali you can tell who is from michoacan by looking at their facial structure and yes a lot of them look like juangas. Pobres indios.

Delete5:10 En Guadalajara hay mucha gente de buen parecer. Eso no lo tienes tu pinche vato culero berraco. Ya quisieras ser de buen porte. Qué importa si los capos son de una buena apariencia. Mira al Iván Archivaldo una cara no te define en este mundo. Lo bueno es que no tienen caras de tortugas, cucacharas o chuntaros vale vergas. Atte: un tapatio de buen porte
Delete@5:10, @635 hagan un 69
DeleteDe puras panochitas.
Oh si muy ricos los putitos de Guadalajara pero Los de michoacan aprietan mas aunque lloran como viejas
DeleteTu has de venir de una tierra de puro pendejo mal educado que nomas sirve para pan y verga. Mas bien estas resentido que eres uno de esos chuntaros culerillos sin genetica buena
DeleteWho cares? He done nothing but ride the coat tails of other mobsters.
ReplyDeleteHe was the driving force behind the Matazetas
Delete@7.52. I'd ask you which "Mobsters" he rode the coat tails of, but the fact you used that word tells me you never even heard of him before today.
DeleteThe judge is an Obama appointee who is also a part time woke liberal activist. He's the judge who "ordered" for all illegal immigrants deported so far under the evil orange man to be flown back into the United States for "due process". The same judge didn't say jack sh!7 when Obama deported over 2.7 million.
ReplyDelete8:23 Obama was not trafficking stolen children like the trumpanzees, 4000, during trompf's second term this far, and No Epstein to blame.
DeleteAlso No Obamaniac has been caught stealing hundreds of millions of dollars off the buys of ice's new warehouses" or wearing fake chichis to bimboize nobody's ass like misteress Mr noem.
They were given due process you dumb mf 🙄🙄
Delete100% True.
DeleteSir do you even hold a law degree? Are you admitted to the bar? Do you even know who Boasberg is?
DeleteNo, you just watch Fox News? OK we'll make you the Chief Justice of the DC Appeals Court.
Your boy Obama only deported bad hombres, NOT the old guy who sold paletas in the park!
DeleteSo if a president orders deportations hes a racist bad guy ? Why cant we all agree that so called racism is a basic human emotion of suspicion?We cant get along with our own ethnicity never mind others..At least in jug you know where you stand none of this phony woke shite,you whites would give up your woke shit in a minute in jug or get fucked up the arse..Then again whites now seem half a fag already they might like it
Delete8:23 Obama deported people, but he followed Due Process without buying warehouses to steal the budget, Obama did not put his private nazi-fascist hordes of personal thugs and criminals and murdering steroid fed meatballs to abuse and kill everybody worse than animals or send them to El Salvador to be abused by the Jefe of the Maras, Bukele...
DeleteHay niveles!!!
536
DeleteI guess you don't remember Guantanamo ...
And I'm the ... Dick
Lmao laughing stock comment of the day
DeleteTelosico pendejo
Delete@5:36 During the Obama administration, over 3 million people were deported, with an estimated 75–83% removed via expedited processes asi que no sabes de que hablas. Trump esta en otro nivel.
DeleteBottom line on Obama or Biden administration, they did not mess on DOJ matters, they just let them do the people's business, not their business, they did not even prosecute criminal #1 as he deserved or put their fingers on the scale as trompf is doing while still losing on all fronts and denying it.
Delete@4:26 how many were people caught by the border? That's usually when expedited removals are used. Different process depending on location of detainment and time within the USA.
DeleteRepublican'ts flooded the borders, even with caravans, to make obama and biden look bad, and now are flooding the american streets with lice and nazi gestapos and the US empty warehouses with illegals to steal trillions of dollars from the US treasury, fuck the debt ceiling!!!
Delete11:34 Guantanamo is the secret US government warehouse reserved for extra-judiciary imprisonment of talibanes and al-qaeda suspects, how many?
DeleteAnd how much does ot cost?
Just to keep the foot on the Cubanos courtesy of dead US military, "intelligence" and mobsters?
The cubanos earned their freedon by allowing and helping the murder of CHE GUEVARA in exchange for a share of drug trafficking to the US, then covering it up by sending general arnoldo ochoa to the firing squad...
somebody could release Guantanamo in exchange for hotels and casinos and shit if asked respectfully...ask...
@4.15. Dude, why are you rambling about drug trafficking as far as Guantanamo is concerned?
DeleteCubanos earned their freedom by helping in the murder of Che Guavara? He was killed in South America, and it had nothing to do with an exchange of the profits from drug trafficking.
These supposed bad asses are seeking protection from uncle Donald because if they go back to Mexico what they did to so many people is going to happen to them
ReplyDeleteEl Mencho never was about "delivering" nobody to the poolice' stop lying.
DeleteI don’t understand why the 4s didn’t kill him or molca or any other drug/crimelord that snitched in a US court like el maradona but they killed the Mexican Air Force guy that testified against menchito
Delete@1.50. He was notorious for betraying his partners, and the police he "delivered" people to worked directly for him. CJNG employ local police as their enforcers just like everyone else does- he learnt from his enemies- and the entire strategy came from him. He was all about that "delivering".
DeleteI’m tired of everyone spreading false info. He never left CJNG he never blamed Mencho he’s CJNG through family. Cholo made a video begging him to help him which el 85 never did.
ReplyDelete100% correct.
DeleteDoes it matter ?
DeleteCJNG is still as good as dead homie they lasted less than the zetas 😆
''Cholo made a video begging him to help him which el 85 never did''
DeleteAll these clowns wont know that they only post goofy shit on BB
Hes a Valencia but hes not related to the Valencia family from Milenio cartel
DeleteHow did he "beg" in that video? Cholo named Sapo, Dany Quintero, Jardinero, all he said about Erik was that he was a boss and had Colima taken away from him.
DeleteThe misinformation was deliberate and paid for, presumably to shake the tree after his arrest- cheers Infobae- but he was running for his life for months. I know this for a fact.
@3.52. So you know that video? Go on dude, tell me, at what point did Cholo beg anybody for anything? Watch the video again, it's on here.
Delete9:50 PM
DeleteBro point is Eric Valencia was never with Nueve Plaza.Mencho didnt rat him out,they burned the fuckin place down when Valencia was collared?
@11.13. Eriks people would still have "burned the place down", Erik would still have sought sanctuary with Zambadas protection after release and laid low, whether Menchos people had been the reason for the arrest or not. People say he was still with CJNG after release but at the time in Jalisco and Colima it was as if he was dead, as if he vanished. People were told not to talk about him. People get confused about the different Valencias and the loyalty owed- sometimes those loose family ties guarantee resentment and slow burning vengeance, not loyalty.
DeleteJust because he wasn't plotting guerrilla tactics with Cholo Martinez in a scabby Guadalajara basement doesn't mean he wasn't backing the old guard against the new fuckers causing chaos from a distance. It always has to be one thing or another, but it's always more complicated.
I bet this dude was happy to hear that Mencho got taken out. Nueva Plaza now has a chance to come back if any CJNG members drop out due to new leadership disagreements. Nuff Said!!!
ReplyDeleteHe never joined cholo that was a false rumor. You think he’d be chilling close to mention in the heart of cjng territory hahaha
Delete85 never left CJNG. He was never part of nueva plaza that was cholo begging Aguila Coronel from la corona to help him with Mario G also. 85 stayed CJNG.
DeleteI don’t think NP has the money that the Gonzalez Valencia’s do they also don’t have a way of fighting the structure created by el sapo
Delete@2.22. You think that when powerful people offer support they have to "chill" in the same neighbourhood as them? Mencho wasn't in Guadalajara and nor was 85.
DeleteNueva Plaza now has a chance to come back? Name a single Nueva Plaza man. They never existed beyond a failed attempt from outside to disrupt CJNG in Guadalajara. They weren't a cartel, they were just a raggedy band of pissed off independents.
Delete@8.32. Sapo is in Puerto Vallarta. There is no such thing as NP, so money they have or don't have is irrelevant.
DeleteWhy the f was he let go in Mexico? The judge was bought and paid for... The U.S should let him rot in prison as a lesson to those punks who are extradited.
ReplyDeleteOff-topic, but it's been 2 weeks since BB put out an invitation to readers to write their own stories.
ReplyDeleteNuff, Rubio, and some others responded that they were up to the task, and would soon be informing and enthrailing us with their indepth analysis of all things cartel related.
Lemme guess..
"Mañana?"
You guys are showing me too much love. I don’t have the skin that Sol has to deal with you loving individuals .

10:06 don,t tell anybody, but i bet Rubio's Red pampers the administ-rateros stole the contributions.
Delete@5.41. Stop talking about fucking "Pampers".
Delete8:57 Eat your Butt Plugs Rubio Red Pampers with splash guards.
DeleteEl Mencho didn't betrayed 85 and he didn't join Nueva Plaza to fight CJNG.
ReplyDeleteWhen 85 got arrested, CJNG burned Guadalajara just like when Mencho was killed. The main Roads in and out of Guadalajara, to prevent his transfer and slow down government back up. The cartel is not gonna go through all that trouble and heat trying to liberate someone that they had just handed over. When someone gets betrayed and handed over, they're caught alone like El Nini.
All the threats and messages in mantas and cartulinas where always signed by el molca or El cholo, or it was towards them and other enemies but never was there any threats mantas cartulinas from Mencho to 85 or vice versa. Also 85 wasn't just a leader, he was co-founder and someone like El Cholo is pretty much a nobody to him, he would not join Plaza Nueva and have his former employee become his new employer, and receive orders by someone he used to order around, same thing with El Cholo becoming the main boss on his new group wasnt gonna give up his leadership to someone just because henused to be his boss, definetly not after going to war against his former boss and last but not least like one recent famous popular corrido by some respected singers known for their authorized music says "Brazos armados que tengo,
Los Elite y los Guerreros,
A los amos del terror,
Los Delta y del Jardinero,
También del 85,
A las órdenes de Mencho"

DeleteThat's Koo foo
Delete1144am callese alv joto barato
Delete3:56 but, but, all those pricks taste different!!! SOL.
Delete@10.20. You think Erik used to order Cholo Martinez around, and for that reason would refuse a temporary alliance? Being "co-founder" meant putting his weight and his protection behind Mencho instead of Pilos people, it doesn't mean he had the same weight in the organisation years later. So many of these comments are right but for the wrong reasons, and it's tiring hearing the same takes from the same google searches/reddit threads/"deep dives". It's like an entire alternate universe with its own logic.
Delete3:56 who lit your tampoon cord?
DeleteEl 85 was not a native from jalisco
ReplyDeleteHes originally from Saudi Arabia

ReplyDelete1:35 es la perra de la carcel.
DeleteEl 85 was released from prison about the same time with Martin Coronel, El Aguila, from Canelas Durango, what happened to their CJNG/ CORONELES partnership?
ReplyDeleteAguila Coronel didn't want to deal with MataZetas or La Resistencia.
Delete@12.01. Matazetas? La Resistencia? Neither of them existed by the time 85 was released.

Snitched
ReplyDeleteThe situation in the US is changing so drastically that I think none of these prosecutions that began several years ago are going to be relevant to the present climate of total corruption and pitched battle against the federal government by organized crime running whole cities, and really effectively, whole states. GOP running Texas says nothing about the total impunity or the cocaine mob there, it's like Louisiana where the citizens are just captives voting against their prison. Worse than conditions in Mexico a decade ago, much worse.
ReplyDelete1:15 well, blame governor Hot Wheels...
DeleteIt isn't changing that fast. You say that in the US there is a "Climate of TOTAL corruption"? Pitched Battles Against the Federal Government!!! The Cocaine Mob running wild, and it's worse that Mexico 10 years ago? Much Worse?
DeleteCheck the data before comparing Louisiana and Texas with Mexico a decade ago, or stop reading the panic attacks masquerading as News.
Americans, like others, love drugs. Never ends.
