MALE ANCHOR: We’re going further because in the United States, a Washington Federal Court judge issued a sentence against Jaime González Durán, aka El Hummer, founder of Los Zetas, Ángel Hernandez, with more details, Ángel, go ahead.

ANGEL HERNDANDEZ DIAZ: How are you, Samuel? Good day?

Well, indeed, Jaime González Durán, who was one of the original members of the ZETAS, this armed wing of the Gulf Cartel, was sentenced today at the request of the US Attorney’s Office. After reaching a plea agreement for 35 years in prison, he pleaded guilty last February to trafficking tons of cocaine and marijuana from Mexico to the United States when we were part of the Zetas. As part of this sentence, he will also have to pay $792 million, which is the estimated amount of drugs trafficked from Mexico to the United States. He was investigated by the DEA. He is currently 49 years old, and according to the investigations, he was, let’s say, a plaza boss or commander or regional boss for the Matamoros in the cities of Matamoros, Reynosa, and Miguel Alemán in Tamaulipas. When this was formed, we will remember Samuel as the company, the alliance between the Gulf Cartel and the Zetas, who established an iron fist in Tamaulipas, Zacatecas, Veracruz, and Chiapas to form the marijuana and cocaine trafficking networks, mainly for loss. It should be remembered that the US Attorney’s Office points out, for example, that González Durán had safe houses where he kept firearms that were used by the ZETAS to provide protection to the Gulf Cartel, among the evidence that the DEA was also able to acquire. The DEA found a series of wiretaps in May 2007 in which Hummer himself coordinated the transfer of almost 1.5 million dollars from McAlester, Texas, to Mexico, money that they would have obtained from drug trafficking. This is the situation. For the moment, it should be remembered that this man was extradited from Mexico to the United States in October 2022 after being arrested in 2015 here on Mexican territory. Samuel.

MALE ANCHOR: Well, then.We’ll be attentive to what remains of the proceedings against this man, or at least what he serves on his sentence. Thank you.

ANGEL HERNANDEZ DIAZ: Good morning, Samuel, thank you.
