26 GIU 2024 · During his trial, Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, the notorious leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, requested a venue change. His legal team argued that the intense media coverage and public interest in New York City would prevent a fair trial. They contended that potential jurors would likely be biased due to the extensive and negative publicity surrounding Guzmán's case. The defense pointed out that the trial's location in Brooklyn, close to the media hub of New York City, increased the likelihood of prejudice among jurors. They also expressed concerns about security and the logistical challenges of conducting a high-profile trial in such a densely populated area. Despite these arguments, the judge denied the request for a venue change. The court determined that sufficient measures could be taken to ensure an impartial jury and a fair trial. These measures included rigorous jury selection procedures and instructions to jurors to avoid media coverage of the case. In this episode, we take a look at that argument as we dive deep into the El Chapo files. (commercial at 12:00) to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

26 GIU 2024 · The DEA has employed several tactics to circumvent the warrant process, raising concerns about legality and civil rights. One notable method involves the use of "administrative subpoenas," which do not require judicial oversight and can be issued based on the agency's determination of relevance. This practice allows the DEA to obtain personal and financial records without a warrant, bypassing the traditional requirement for judicial approval​. Another controversial method is the use of confidential informants and undercover operations. The DEA often leverages information from informants to initiate investigations and obtain search warrants. However, the reliability of informants can be questionable, and there have been instances where informant-provided information has led to flawed or unjustified warrants. When informants provide false or misleading information, it can result in a "Franks hearing," where the defense challenges the warrant's validity by proving that the supporting affidavit included false statements​. Additionally, the DEA sometimes conducts searches that exceed the scope of the warrant, seize items not specified in the warrant, or use excessive force during raids. Such actions can render even a legally obtained warrant invalid if it is shown that the DEA agents violated the terms of the warrant or conducted the search improperly. These practices have sparked legal battles and criticisms, highlighting the need for more stringent oversight and adherence to constitutional protections to prevent abuse of power by law enforcement agencies like the DEA. Now, two senators are trying to stop this from happening and have called upon the DOJ to answer for this obvious abuse of power.

26 GIU 2024 · The Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG) has been involved in several prosecutions in San Diego. These cases are often kept low-profile, with limited information available to the public. Key members of CJNG, including leaders of their violent enforcement arm "Los Cabos," have been charged with various crimes. These charges include conspiracy to distribute and import controlled substances, as well as money laundering. Notable figures such as Edgar Herrera Pardo (aka "Caiman") and Carlos Lorenzo Hinojosa Guerrero (aka "Cabo 96") were indicted for their roles in trafficking large quantities of heroin, methamphetamine, and cocaine into the United States​. The prosecution efforts are part of a broader strategy to dismantle CJNG's operations, targeting both high-ranking leaders and key operatives involved in drug trafficking and associated violence. The cases are often complex, involving extensive coordination between U.S. and Mexican authorities to capture and extradite these individuals for trial in San Diego.

26 GIU 2024 · The violent conflict between the Sinaloa Cartel and the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) for control of Tijuana, Baja California, has intensified in recent years. Tijuana, a crucial border city for drug trafficking into the United States, has become a battleground for these two powerful cartels. The Sinaloa Cartel, historically dominant in the region, is now facing significant challenges from the CJNG, which has rapidly expanded its influence across Mexico. The CJNG, known for its brutal tactics and rapid territorial gains, is led by Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, alias "El Mencho." This cartel has made significant inroads into Baja California, aiming to wrest control from the Sinaloa Cartel. The conflict has resulted in a surge of violence, with numerous killings and kidnappings reported. The rivalry has escalated to the point where entire communities in Tijuana are affected by the violence, leading to an increase in homicides and other violent crimes. Corruption within local authorities exacerbates the situation, as both cartels exploit this to maintain and expand their control​. This ongoing war has significant implications not only for the security of the region but also for the broader dynamics of the Mexican drug trade, affecting routes and operations that extend into the United States.

26 GIU 2024 · The Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) is one of the most powerful and violent drug trafficking organizations in Mexico. Formed in 2010, it originated as an offshoot of the Milenio Cartel and quickly rose to prominence due to its ruthlessness and strategic expansion tactics. Led by Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, also known as "El Mencho," CJNG has gained notoriety for its involvement in drug trafficking, extortion, kidnapping, and other criminal activities. CJNG has a sophisticated operational structure, with a hierarchical leadership that oversees various aspects of its illicit activities, including drug production, transportation, and distribution. The cartel primarily traffics cocaine, methamphetamine, and fentanyl, with routes extending from South America through Mexico and into the United States. In America, CJNG has established a significant presence, particularly in regions with high drug demand and distribution networks. The cartel's operations in the United States include drug trafficking, money laundering, and violence to maintain control over its territories and enforce its dominance in the drug trade. To facilitate its operations in the U.S., CJNG relies on a complex network of distributors, smugglers, and associates who help transport drugs across the border and distribute them to various markets. The cartel also engages in alliances and conflicts with other criminal organizations, including rival cartels and street gangs, to protect its interests and expand its influence. CJNG's presence in America has led to concerns among law enforcement agencies and policymakers due to its involvement in drug-related violence, corruption, and the proliferation of deadly drugs like fentanyl. Efforts to combat the cartel's activities involve collaboration between U.S. and Mexican authorities, including intelligence sharing, law enforcement operations, and targeting the cartel's financial infrastructure. Despite these efforts, CJNG continues to pose a significant threat to both Mexico and the United States, demonstrating its resilience and adaptability in the face of law enforcement pressure. The cartel's ability to generate enormous profits from the drug trade enables it to sustain its operations and evade capture, making it a formidable adversary in the ongoing fight against organized crime. In this episode, we take a look at how the CJNG has infiltrated the Puget sound region.

25 GIU 2024 · Elite billionaires often utilize their wealth and influence to shield themselves from accusations of crimes, leveraging their resources to manipulate legal systems, media narratives, and public opinion. These tactics can include hiring high-powered legal teams to intimidate accusers, settling cases out of court with non-disclosure agreements to silence victims, or employing private investigators to dig up dirt on those who speak out against them. Additionally, these billionaires often surround themselves with wealthy and influential friends who act as enablers, providing support and protection in various forms. This network of connections can be instrumental in suppressing allegations, exerting pressure on whistleblowers, or even influencing law enforcement and judicial processes. Furthermore, the immense financial resources at their disposal afford them access to top-tier lawyers, lobbyists, and public relations experts who specialize in managing and minimizing damage to their reputations. This combination of wealth, power, and influence creates significant barriers for accusers seeking justice and perpetuates a cycle of impunity among the elite. In essence, elite billionaires utilize their wealth and power not only to evade accountability for their actions but also to actively thwart efforts to hold them responsible, with the assistance of their well-connected allies and enablers.

25 GIU 2024 · Mexican drug cartels have increasingly turned to the tobacco industry as a new revenue stream amidst crackdowns on traditional narcotics. One prominent player, the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), has been implicated in forcing cigarette vendors in several Mexican states to sell only specific brands, often under threat of violence. This operation, often referred to as the "Tobacco Cartel," employs tactics such as posing as government officials to confiscate non-approved brands and intimidate vendors. The shift to the tobacco market is partly driven by declining revenues from traditional drug markets. Legalization of marijuana in several regions, increased law enforcement pressure on heroin distribution, and the rise of synthetic drugs like fentanyl have squeezed profits from older drug trades, pushing cartels to diversify into areas like tobacco​. Moreover, local production of illegal cigarettes is a new phenomenon in Mexico, with cartels collaborating with local tobacco growers to meet demand, thereby reducing reliance on international smuggling networks​. In this episode, we take a trip south of the border to see how the Cartels are making their move into this market and why it matters to you.
