NEWS: JUDGE SENTENCES ALLEGED SINALOA CARTEL MEMBER TO 22 YEARS IN PRISON
It wasn't proven that Alfredo Vazquez-Hernandez was a top aide to Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzmán (above), but he was still sentenced to 22 years in prison.
Federal judge Ruben Castillo said Monday that he didn't see solid evidence showing that Alfredo Vazquez-Hernandez met with Sinaloa cartel leader Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzmán, let alone that he was a logistical coordinator for the drug organization. But the judge also said no one believes that Vazquez-Hernandez "just got out of bed one morning" and decided to get involved in a deal to move 276 kilograms of Central American cocaine into Chicago, a crime for which the 59-year-old businessman pleaded guilty earlier this year.
When he was offered a chance to speak, Vazquez-Hernandez—gray haired and small built, wearing a baggy orange prison jumpsuit—apologized through a Spanish interpreter to the court and the United States. "I accept responsibility for what I did."
The extent of his responsibility remains an open question.
