“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat
Video translation is as follows:
A federal judge granted a court-ordered suspension to Jose Alfredo Martinez El Contador. Identified as the alleged leader of the Gulf Cartel and nephew of Osiel Cardenas Guillen. He had assumed the leadership of the Gulf Cartel, thus preventing the alleged drug trafficker from being extradited to the United States at this time, according to reports from the Ministry of National Defense and drug control administration.
This man, Cardenas Martinez, shares the leadership of the Gulf Cartel with three other individuals. In March 2022, the U.S. Justice Department requested the extradition of El Contador from Mexico, as he was required by the federal court of East Texas to be tried for nine crimes related to drug trafficking and money laundering.
In view of this situation, an injunction was filed against his extradition from being transferred up North. For the time being, this suspension will stop the extradition of El Contador, leader of the Gulf Cartel, to the United States.
