Below
is the 2010 Borderland Beat detailed article posted at the time of the arrest.
Valencia’s son was mistaken for Chapo’s son and killed, Chapo called extending
condolences promising revenge…..
México City.- Manuel
Fernández Valencia, La Puerca, confessed to Federal Police that he personally
knows Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán Loera, leader of the Sinaloa cartel and has met
with the capo face-to-face on at least "five occasions".
According to his
testimony, La Puerca had discussed plans with Guzman about shipping eight tons
of marijuana into the United States, one of the last times he saw the elusive
criminal.
Fernández Valencia also
told authorities about the death of his son, Marcial - who died on August 29th
of this year (2010) in Culiacán - It was a case of mistaken identity; the
assassins thought Marcial was the son El Chapo because he was driving a white
Ferrari. Alfredo Guzmán drives a Lamborghini of the same color. (Initially
widely reported as Chapo’s son in the press)
A day later, he
received a phone call from Guzmán Loera, the capo expressed his condolences and
pledged his support, saying that he would stand by his friend in this time of
grief, while vowing he would get find those who were responsible for the
Marcial's murder.
La Puerca says that a
month later, El Chapo's son came to inform him they had found the man who had
murdered his son, Israel Rincón, alias El Guacho. They had videotaped and
executed him by October 5th.
Fernández Valencia also
confirmed to Federal Police that there was a secret reunion between the bosses
of different criminal organizations in Cuernavaca. Among the attendants of this
party was El Chapo, the Beltrán Leyva brothers and one of their chief
operators, Edgar Valdez Villareal La Barbie.
Chose
to stay with Chapo after BLO split
He went on to say that
when the schism occurred between the Beltran's and El Chapo, he decided to stay
with Joaquín Guzmán, although Arturo Beltrán would sometimes hire him to work
for him on the side.
Also arrested with
Fernández Valencia was Juan de dios Castillo Quevedo, Pedro Navarro Fernández, Rubén
Gerardo Cabada Mendoza, Jorge Gómez Camacho, Martín Alfonso Quevedo, José
Valencia Toscano and Humberto López Urias.
Note:
also with the post was this interesting information; Interrogation of Israel
Rincón Martínez says Chapo set up Mochomo for the fall...maybe
In the interrogation of
Israel Rincón Martínez, he confesses to participating in a meeting where he was
informed that El Chapo was the one responsible for the fall Alfredo Beltrán Leyva,
alias El Mochomo. He also says he received a phone call from Arturo Beltrán
Leyva, who questioned him on his loyalties. El Barbas asked him, "Who side
are you on?" He allegedly responds "With Alfredo's people,"
although he had started his criminal career with El Chapo.
Rincón Martínez (below left) says he
felt obliged to stay with the Beltrán Leyva cartel because to say otherwise
meant certain death. He also states this was totally confusing for him because
he didn't think El Chapo was the one responsible for the arrest of Alfredo
Beltrán Leyva, he knew their friendship and business ties were very strong. He
speculates that the whole thing was just being used for an excuse to start a
war.
According to Rincón
Martínez, Arturo Beltrán Leyva offered to pay him 100,000 U.S.D. to organize
forces and stash weapons for a war against El Chapo and Nacho Coronel, he
accepted the offer but never received the money.
On November 21rst, 2008
the corpse of Israel Rincón Martínez was found riddled with 7.62 mm rounds from
an AK-47. Along with the body was a message that denounced all murderers,
rapists and thieves, pledging to cleanse the city of those criminals and
provided a phone number to report anyone suspected of being guilty of these
crimes.
Also in the message
were the names and photos of Arturo Héctor Beltrán Leyva, Vicente Carrillo
Fuentes, Heriberto Lazcano, El lazca, Édgar Valdez Villarreal, La Barbi, Israel
Rincón Martínez, El guacho o El Miki, Cristiano Urías, Antonio Araujo, Jorge
Iribe Araujo, y Osiel (Cárdenas).
This guy is from michoacan they caught his wife a few years back too when he was locked up. That last name Valencia.. I wonder if he was part of milenio cartel before joining cds.
ReplyDeleteThat wasn't his wife that was his sister.
DeleteSo a Beltran Leyva hit man saying chapo didn't set up mochomo and Arturo was just tweaking according to testimony from la Barbie. Blo never had respect in Sinaloa after that and letting zetas in the state for just a minute
ReplyDeleteRead the article again buddy. El wacho was forced to say what he did and barbie was just giving excuses.
DeleteYeah but also remember El chapo was a traitor to blo amd he also couldn't keep truce with Los Carrillos
DeleteYou're obviously not from Sinaloa El Mochomo is fiercely respected and Arturo Beltran was even more respected than Chapo and Mayo put together. There's a reason why even today bulletproof convoys of armed men with Ak bazookas caliber 50 patrol the city of Culiacan with the letter B on the side representing BLO. They still till this day control northern and southern Sinaloa . Don't be mistaken the last name of Beltran is still very respected even more than Chapo or Mayo. By the way the BLO hitmen who said that was recorded after he was tortured what he says could br out of fear
Delete6:36 I'm from Rosales culiacan born and raised I'm 37 yrs old and lived thru the dismantle of los guZmanes y beltranes and you are a complete liar....mochomo and Arturo had the respect but they didn't work out of culiacan...I was part of the movement but thats the past...you are somebody who just reads narco drama and puts shit together and comes up with his own conclusion...stop your lies and let Borderland beat do what they do which is inform the people interested in this lifestyle...they have the contacts in the underworld...and to make this clear BLO does not operate out of culiacan there head quarters in la zona is in guasave...stop lying to the people you must be that comandante perro dude who hallucinates when he is high and comes in here and writes a whole bunch of bullshit...I have did my research on the guy thru my old contacts and no one has ever heard of him..thank you Borderland beat for the great job..
DeleteObviously Chapo's ppl snitched on everyone since they recorded the murder and the "manta" was left with the body. Is everone mentioned in the "manta" dead or arrested? It seems that way
ReplyDeleteRead it again
Delete10-20 years of good life (drugs, women, money) and 27 years in prison .... is it worthy ?
ReplyDeleteIt is if your doing time in Mexico but maybe not U.S but I heard federal prison is not that bad.. I guess if you still have millions when you get out.. but not worth going to hell..
DeleteMore like 30-35 years in biz
DeleteAt least they have memories. He will be out before 27 years too if hes not an idiot
DeleteBLO is the real deal, chapo is a snitched and a traitor
ReplyDeleteChapo went down as a scumbag, nobody likes him
Deleteend is beautiful for them)
ReplyDeleteEvil makes you ugly. The guys on the last two posts look really ugly.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the Users of Crank handbook (1992-1999; updated 2015 version available), CDS presence in Illinois contributes to the escalation of violence there, hence likely reason el animal received 27 years unlike 20 years in prison
ReplyDeleteChapo snitched on el animal...
ReplyDeleteIvan archivaldo took vengance for el animals son
DeleteChapo has never snitched not even on alfredo arturo was too doped up to listen to mochomo thats why hes six feet under
All these chapo snitched comments and all these bunch of nuthugers really get annoying and offer no type of knowledgable comments this site used to be really great but as of lately it hasnt been too good
ReplyDeletethis dude, Israel Rincón, was given up by his girlfriend who was chachitos sister. anybody know any more info on Israel?
ReplyDeleteWhy does it say el guacho killed el animals son in 2010 but then it says that el guacho was killed november of 2008?
ReplyDeleteSo what's with the narcomanta in Cd.Victoria? And did the marina or soldados really killed comándate Bravo 01 weeks ago? Haven't seen narcomantas from him since.
ReplyDeleteThis article is the same as the 2010 article of the tine of his arrest.
ReplyDeleteWhere's the video of the interrogation, how come you guys didn't post it? Its on YouTube
ReplyDeletethis guys wanst BL. he was chapo mayo people. and yes he was part of milenio cartel. BL killed his son el cachorro. GENTE DE GUZMAN
ReplyDeleteWho dotted his eye?
ReplyDeleteSomeone whos knowledgeable in the system enlighten me. So this means el chapo can only get more years than this since he is the biggest fish right. Theres nobody bigger he can snitch on. And he wont snitch on politicians because that means his family will go down guaranteed.
