More La Barbie Nuggets

The recently arrested trafficker made an appearance in Felipe Calderón's Informe. Indeed, according to Carlos Loret, Valdez Villarreal saved the president's state of the nation report. Valdez Villarreal also admitted to helping hide El JJ, the man who allegedly put a bullet into Salvador Cabañas' head. Villarreal says that the forward and the trafficker (who was a friend of his from Laredo) were friends, but the former was in a bad mood the night he was shot, which led to the angry confrontation and the shooting. Now, he says, JJ is living in Colombia. Lastly, Valdez Villarreal said that he participated in a summit of drug leaders late last year, which included el Chapo, el Azul, Heriberto Lazcano, Mayo Zambada, and other industry heavyweights. This summit was aimed at hammering out a pact to carve up the nation's territory and reduce violence; it was demonstrably not a success.

Just FYI, Cabañas did not die that night. Badly injured but still alive.

Hi Maz, thanks for reading, and thanks for pointing that out. I'm aware of Cabañas continued recovery, I didn't mean to imply that he died, total brain fart on my part.

Yeah that's what I figured.

Anyway, great blog, I enjoy reading it.

Saludos from New Mexico.

minor point, but the meeting with Chapo et al was last year. arturo beltran leyva was present, so it had to be before he died in december.

Thanks Maz, I enjoyed checking out your blog, lots of cool images. Malcolm, good point, I guess late night posting leads to more of that sort of thing.
