🗣️Assistant U.S. Attorney Erika Csicsila🗣️

Zambada-Niebla *struggled
w his decision 2 testify:
“He did not want 2 testify.
He was concerned about consequences.
… A lot of his friends + family members
have been killed.”

Acknowledged “some bad decisions.
😱

Federal govt plans
2 protect Zambada
after his incarceration
“and remains confident
in its ability 2 do so.”

Flores brothers,
who worked 4 Zambada,
R believed 2 have been
biggest drug dealers
in Chicago history. 🔥

Like Zambada,
they ultimately agreed 2
cooperate w U.S. govt
against Sinaloa cartel.

2015 twins pleaded guilty
2 drug charges + given
relatively lt prison sentences :
14 yrs each.

When sentenced,
judge told them,
after they do their time
+ R released N2 govs
witness-protection program,
they’ll always have 2 worry about
being hunted down by cartel hit men.

Prosecutors argue Zambada
should serve more time
than Flores brothers
bc he “admitted 2
having ordered acts of violence
that were carried out
against rival cartel members.”

El Chapo’s Sinaloa cartel.
