Vicente Zambada Niebla, better known as ‘El Vicentillo’, in his diary given to journalist Anabel Hernández, revealed how the Sinaloa Cartel transported illicit substances through gasoline tanks, operations in which Gonzalo Inzunza Inzunza, better known as ‘El Macho Prieto’, was involved, who managed to move drugs from Central America to Mexico.

Cenobio Flores Pacheco, better known as ‘El Checo’, was one of the people in charge of transporting drugs from Culiacán to Mexicali, which was the route they used to enter the United States and reach Los Angeles, California.

Cenobio Flores Pacheco, whom I generally simply call Pacheco, is also known as “Checo” or “El 6,” was the main lieutenant of Gonzalo in the transportation team. I met Pacheco around 2000 or 2001, and I am aware that Pacheco started as Gonzalo’s gunman, driver, and general messenger. Over time, Pacheco began to rise in rank in Gonzalo’s organization, and around 2006, he became the leader of the Mexicali plaza in Baja California for Gonzalo’s organization,” wrote Anabel Hernández about the statements made by ‘El Vicentillo.’

It was in 2006 when ‘El Mayo’ Zambada sent Gonzalo to prepare and oversee some locations and infrastructure in Mexicali, from where they were looking to cross the border into Mexicali. Pacheco was the one in charge of supervising the crossing.

Months later, Cenobio was promoted and then he dedicated himself to receiving the money obtained from the profits of the substances traffic that went inside some secret compartments of the gasoline pipes.

“In 2006, my father sent Gonzalo to condition and take care of some locations and infrastructure in Mexicali, to be used to transport drugs from Mexico to the United States. Gonzalo took charge of making things start working, and installed Pacheco to supervise the information. Overall, Pacheco’s role was to oversee the delivery and reception of drug-filled pipes from Culiacán to Mexicali. Afterwards, Pacheco supervised the crossing of the cargo into the United States. Pacheco was promoted and became responsible for receiving the money and weapons coming from the United States. When Pacheco received the loaded tank in Mexicali, he first supervised the team to open the compartment and remove the drugs. The drugs were stored in safe houses, and the shipments were divided into much smaller quantities, which were trafficked at the border to enter the United States. Although the supply of available cocaine could vary, as stated in ‘The Traitor’.”

According to Zambada Niebla’s statements, Pacheco had up to five or six tons of cocaine in Mexicali, which he hoped to send to the United States, where they apparently entered the border through private cars that could carry approximately between 20 and 30 kilograms at a time.

“Sometimes, Pacheco would have approximately five to six tons of cocaine in Mexicali, waiting to be transported to the United States. I found out through my conversations with Gonzalo and Pacheco that the drugs were transported across the border in cars with hidden compartments, which could carry around 20 to 30 kilos at a time. In addition to the network of cars with hiding spots, Gonzalo and Pacheco also had a large number of semi-trailers with compartments that could hold approximately 100 kilos of cocaine. The drugs were taken to warehouses and safe houses in California. Pacheco would wait until 500 kilos had accumulated in the warehouse and then he would send a message to let them know that the drugs were ready to be picked up in California, to be taken to the next destination city in the United States,” wrote the journalist.

Through the same gas pipes, the Sinaloa Cartel transported the cash from the sale of drugs, which traveled from Mexicali to Culiacan, where it was stored in warehouses or safe houses, usually belonging to ‘El Chapo’ Guzmán, ‘El Mayo’ Zambada, or another member of the criminal group.

The cash coming from the sale of drugs is collected throughout the United States, and then it is stored in warehouses and safe houses in California. The money is then transported in cash across the border and delivered to Gonzalo and Pacheco in Mexicali. The money is transferred in the same gas tanks and transported to Culiacán, where it is left in safe houses and warehouses belonging to my father, ‘El Chapo’, and other members of the Sinaloa Cartel,” narrates ‘El Vicentillo’ in his diary.
