| Ala 'La Chucky', 'Don Neto' may spend the remainder of sentence at home Posted: 18 Jan 2015 01:52 PM PST Posted by Lucio; main post from El Debate posted by siskiyoukid with added material As reported last week in the case of Ester Gordillo, aka 'La Chucky', Fonseca will likely leave prison in exchange for "house arrest".  The first Collegiate Court in criminal matters of the third circuit stated that Ernesto Rafael Fonseca Carrillo, alias Don Neto, is guilty of the crimes of kidnapping and homicide perpetrated against Enrique Camarena Salazar and Alfredo Zavala Avelar, which occurred in February 1985. The same court ordered the second unit of the Third Circuit Court to identify appropriate penalties now that they have decreed the guilt of the drug trafficker. In its resolution, the court also requested to "decide on an alternative of the imprisonment as a security measure" now that a unitary Court "by an accredited study had focused senility and the precarious state of health of Ernesto Rafael Fonseca Carrillo", the Council of the Federal judiciary reported on Friday.  The first Collegiate Court requires in its judgment that Fonseca Carrillo is absolved of his other crimes, including: the crime of criminal association; smuggling to the national territory, collecting and carrying of firearms for the exclusive use of the army, Navy and air force national; and crimes against health, which is what they called the possession of marijuana for distribution, as well as the personal possession for the immediate use of the possessor. What's going on with Don Neto? Because of an advanced age or age-related health conditions, offenders may be granted an alternative penalty, which seeks to provide the best quality of life to the prisoner. In this case, Don Neto would continue serving his sentence outside the prison, in a healthy environment [house arrest]. Profile of Enernesto 'Don Neto' Fonseca Ernesto Fonseca Carrillo, born in 1942 in Badiraguato, Sinaloa and was head of the Guadalajara Cartel, along with Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo and Rafael Caro Quintero. Fonseca was head of the Guadalajara Cartel along with Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo and Rafael Caro Quintero. Fonseca was involved with smuggling since the early seventies, mainly in Ecuador and then operated in Mexico. The Drug Enforcement Administration of the United States (DEA) in 1982 discovered his money laundering operations in San Diego. On 7 April of 1985, Fonseca and his security forces were located in Puerto Vallarta by the Mexican Army. His house was surrounded and he was taken prisoner.  Amado Carillo Fuentes Fonseca is the uncle of Amado Carrillo Fuentes, head of theJuárez Cartel . Ernesto Fonseca Carrillo, nicknamed 'Don Neto' and regarded as the padrino [godfather] of the Mexican Mafia. Fonseca was arrested by police in México, charged with the murder of Enrique 'Kiki' Camarena, a US DEA agent. Don Neto blamed Rafael Caro Quintero, stating that Caro Quintero committed the double murder of US drug agent and Alfredo Zavala Avelar, a Mexican pilot, at his home in the city of Guadalajara, the capital of Jalisco, on 9 February 1985. Both murders were viewed as a "grave error" by the Mexican mafia kingpin that caused a deep rift between the clans that control the drug market in Mexico.  Questioned by police Interpol Mexico, Caro Quintero, then 29 years old, acknowledged that due to bribery, worth millions of dollars to agents and officials of the Mexican police, he managed to become one of the most influential men in the drug market in Mexico. Apparently, Javier and Eduardo Cordero Staufer brothers, also arrested, were their main financial contacts. The Mexican police investigations also led to the arrest of seven police elements in Jalisco, two of whom said they saw Caro Quintero killed Camarena Salazar and Zavala Avelar. Caro Quintero flatly denied being involved in the murders. He also rejected the notion he kidnapped his compatriot, Sara Cosio Martinez, 17, because, he said, "she is my woman." | ||

He also issued formal prison to six of the arrested , however , five of those were released under parole, and only one remained in prison. The 43 accused left the Federal Prison of El Rincon in Nayarit yesterday , where on the 7th of January , they were imprisoned accused of ownership of fire arms and associated crimes. On the 6th of January , there were two confrontations in the Municipality of Apatzingan, that left at least nine dead.

Original article in Spanish at Proceso.com.mx Updated with another article from Michoacán 3.0 Morelia Michoacán.  After the liberation of 43 of the 44 imprisoned autodefensas of Apatzingan , all indicates that this should be treated as a massacre , the PGJE did not apportion sufficient proof , of the charges of carrying arms for exclusive use of the navy. The same authorities were demonstrating that this should be treated as a massacre , and that victims were not caught in a cross fire, they were killed by the Army and Federal Police , complained Armando Mendoza , one of the detainees identified as Autodefensa. For this motive , complaints accused the massacre of being committed by Federal Forces , and this same Friday there will be a reunion of personnel of the National Commission for Human Rights ( CNDH), to ratify the complaints and expand the accusations. According to a member of the Autodefensas who is inactive, the Fifth District Judg , based in Uruapan, Jorge Armar Wong , confirmed its treatment as a massacre of a group of demonstrators, and that he freed the accused because the PGR had not offered sufficient proof of carrying of arms. Everything has been a persecution , they have always sought to plant evidence against persons who are not related to Federal Groups , and this is a sample of these actions , but because everything went public and the media recorded the facts , the Federal police failed to plant evidence said Armando Mendoza. He said that many of the detainees on the 5th and 6th ,their homes are being searched , the authorities are doing excavations with the argument that bodies were buried ther , which is an outright lie , and we are one hundred percent certain that they are only there to plant evidence. , that is why we are going to come before the Commission of Human Rights so that they will stop these abuses, said one native of Apatzingan. Finally he pointed out that in spite of all these abuses, we will not stop fighting for the defense of the people, nor will the real Autodefensas disappear, rather , he explained , in the course of this weekend they would launch a call to the Mexican Army to resume actions to monitor and combat the Knights Templar. This is an outreach to the Army to demonstrate that they are here to monitor the peace , and to show that they are here to combat armed criminals and not unarmed people, this is the last chance we will give them , said the spokesperson of the Unified Autodefensas of Apatzingan.

| Caro Quintero ratified as responsible for the death of Kiki Camarena Posted: 18 Jan 2015 12:32 PM PST Translated for Borderland Beat from a Proceso article by Otis B Fly-Wheel
A year and two months after the First Chamber of the Supreme Court reversed the amparo that freed Rafael Caro Quintero , the first Collegiate Criminal Court of the Third Circuit, that the boss of narco trafficking in Mexico , in the decade of the eighties is criminally responsible for the kidnapping and killing of the agent from the DEA Enrique " kiki " Camarena and his driver Alfredo Salazar. The Collegiate Tribunal also found responsible for the same crimes , Ernesto Rafael Fonesca Carillo " Don Neto " , founder with Caro and Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo the cartel of Guadalajara.  However , it asked the Second Unitary Court of the Third Circuit to decide on the replacement of imprisonment for security measures , because of the senility and precarious health of Don Neto. In the case of Caro Quintero , the Collegiate Tribunal , had to modify the amparo , which he had granted to him in 2013 , after which the First Chamber of the Court refused to intervene in the case , for the sake of independence of the Judges. The Tribunal decided that Caro should be protected by the amparo because of violations in due process in the case of Camarena and because he had already completed his sentence for other crimes. Caro Quintero left prison on the 9th of August of 2014 , but three months after , before the scandal and pressure from the United States to the Federal Attorney Office ( PGR ) , the First Collegiate Tribunal , retraced their steps and ordered the First Appellate Court to review their resolution to deny the amparo to him.  That's what the Judges did. Now he was declared criminally responsible for the crimes of unlawful deprivation of freedom , in the form of kidnapping and murder of Enrique Camarena Salazar and Alfredo Zavala Avelar. They resolved that they should identify the penalties for the crime and where appropriate , order the re-arrest , which ratified that the ex capo is a fugitive , since the Ministers of the First Chamber voted against the amparo granted to him. They also ratified the crimes against health , in the category of cultivating , packaging and possession of Marijuana , for the intent of trafficking , at the El Bufalo ranch. The new resolution confirmed the stay of proceedings of the crimes of homicide , and the illegal deprivation of peasants working in ranches located in the Municipalities of Coyame , Jimenez , Julimes , Chihuahua. It also exonerated him of crimes against health in the cases of the ranches Los Juncos and Montesco, as well as the crime of criminal association. Original article in Spanish at Proceso.com |
