‘El Mayo’ and U.S. Negotiate “Potential” Plea Deal; Ask to Postpone Hearing
U.S. prosecutors asked Judge Brian Cogan to postpone Ismael Zambada’s next hearing.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office announced that it is in negotiations with Ismael Zambada García, El Mayo, to avoid a trial and obtain a plea agreement from the Mexican national, while the death penalty remains on the table and the defendant’s defense seeks to avoid it.
“Both sides have exchanged certain evidentiary materials and continue to discuss a potential resolution to shorten the trial, while the capital case is prosecuted and the government’s review of potentially classified evidence is pending,” reads a letter filed by district attorneys in New York.
Judge Brian Cogan was also asked to postpone Zambada Garcia’s next hearing from April 22 to June 16, or some later date, due to a scheduling conflict between Zambada’s defense and the prosecution.
According to a letter submitted by the U.S. authorities, the prosecution has already consulted with the court clerk presided over by Judge Brian Cogan about available dates, and these were shared with the Mexican national’s lawyers.
Therefore, it is foreseeable that the prosecution’s request will be approved and that, until then, any other process not related to the preparation of the trial will be excluded.

Fuckin clown is cooperating.
RIP Gilbertona
So much for the man in the hat, more like the man with the deal.
@Sol Is this an April Fool’s joke?!!
No, he’s really negotiating. At this point in his life he has no other choice. The feds have been debriefing him for some time now. It’s to be expected that others will fall because of what all he’s been saying.
Most def ratting out Los Chapitos… but I wonder if who/anyone from his crew are getting fingered…? Rusos? Cabreras? Aquiles…? He’s gotta give up someone good to avoid the death penalty… any sentence at this point is a life sentence to him… he just wants to avoid the death penalty…

For sure, Holden. If El Mayo’s flipping, Chapitos are the obvious offering—but that might not be enough to dodge the needle. Someone bigger or closer’s gotta go.
Aquiles? The Cabreras? Ruso? All fair game if it buys him more time.
And yeah—he’s gotta be real careful not to leave Mayito Flaco surrounded. No point surviving if your son gets buried in the fallout.
His smartest move? Target the 29 extradited last month. He’s gotta have dirt on at least a quarter of them. Keeps him valuable without burning every bridge back home.
All of them he gave his son Chino’s anthrax passport name which he then snitched it to the authoritys . Bunch of snitches and then you have the dumb asses getting killed because they think they’re loyal.
na the usa wants politicos they already know about the narcos
Mexican politicians protect their own, but that would be great if they went after them.
