Why Did 'El Mayo' Ordered To Kill His Own Nephew?
New court documents reveal more details on the killing of 'El Cheyo' Antrax
EL PASO, Texas.— Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada will be presented tomorrow, Friday, in a federal court in Brooklyn, New York, for what will be his first hearing in the new jurisdiction, after being transferred this afternoon from El Paso, Texas, according to court documents consulted by SAGA.
His appearance will be before Magistrate Judge James R. Cho at 10:00 a.m. New York time in courtroom 11D, according to court documents. Eventually, his case will be handled by Judge Brian Cogan, known for sentencing Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán to life in prison and also overseeing the upcoming sentencing of Genaro García Luna.
"Zambada was transferred this Thursday afternoon from El Paso to Brooklyn," a source from the federal district court in El Paso, Texas, confirmed to SAGA.
Initially, Zambada was presented in the federal court of the Western District of Texas in El Paso, following his arrest in neighboring Santa Teresa, New Mexico.
Zambada was seen on two occasions personally appearing before Judge Kathleen Cardone in the federal court in downtown El Paso, Texas. In both instances, he limited his responses to a simple "yes" or "no" to the judge's questions.
After initially refusing, through his legal representation, to be transferred to New York, on September 5th he finally agreed to the transfer.
"The defendant, however, notified the government that he no longer opposes being transferred and does not object to being transferred to the EDNY (Eastern District of New York) by court order," detailed the prosecution.
For this reason, the prosecution has now requested that El Mayo no longer be presented for hearings in Texas and that the transfer proceed, as it is a complex case that also involves security issues.
