Primo is from CJNG, not certain who the interrogators are, but here is a clip of the translation ffrom a reader of Borderlandbeat: The guys name is Jose Luis Calderon Saltillano alias "EL Primo", age 42. He is from Zapopan, Jalisco. He says he's a Sicario. His boss is "El Padre". El Padre's boss is Mencho Valencia. El Padre and a guy named La Vaca are in charge of Colima for this group. El padre has 30 sicarios and La Vaca has 15. He then implicates State and Municipal authorities as being part of their org. They ask him "What Cartel does he work for?". He then seems to forget and the interrogators "refresh his memory"...He then goes on and admits to dealing and committing murders. He says a group headed by "El Valin" are responsible for the murder of an ex Governor. El Valin has 10 sicarios. They ask why the ex governor was killed. And he responds "for some inconvenience with El Padre". They then ask "Was the ex governor involved in trafficking?" He says YES. "Did the ex governor owe something?" He says YES. Then he says La Vaca is in charge of kidnapping for the group. They kidnapped a Butcher and a Ice cream salesman. LOL. They each paid 300. I would guess that means 300,000 pesos...He then gives the nicknames of police involved in the org. "They pay officials 1.5 million pesos a month to operate which is sent from Guadalajara from Mencho Valencia." The interrogators ask "You don't make enough money selling drugs in Colima to cover the monthly fee?" He says NO, La Vaca makes about 400,000 pesos a week. He says he has 3 "tiendas" (Stores). He makes around 20 to 30,000 pesos weekly. The stores were given to him by La Vaca. The drugs (Ice and Coke) are given to him by El Padre. He sells 16,000 worth of ice and 9 to 10,000 in coke a week which is given to him "bagged up" already...Its bagged up in colima in the "Offices" of El Padre..."The same stores that are being taken down right now?" He says "EXACTLY"..."Is there any more?" He says "no that's all of them". http://borderland-beat.924382.n3.nabble.com/New-Video-Of-Sicario-CJNG-td2843950.html
