FIVE REASONS FOR WHICH THE CHAPO GUZMÁN JUDGMENT IS NOT "THE JUDGMENT OF THE CENTURY"
"The judgment of the century, that of El Chapo, is not really the judgment of the century, if it were already the authorities and politicians of Mexico and the United States would be on the bench."
Sentenced Alejandro Almazán, Mexican journalist and writer specialized in drug trafficking issues. For more than two decades, Almazán has dedicated himself to investigating the narco, his texts being an obligatory reference to understand the violence of contemporary Mexico. He has published seven books, five nonfiction and two more fiction, among the latter is "The most wanted."
Novel based on the life of famous Mexican drug trafficker Joaquín Guzmán Loera, The so-called "trial of the century" is like a movie or a series of drug traffickers, "I have clear that the biggest cartel in this world is the DEA, so I am very surprised that in the judgment of the century, all these arrangements that exist with the American authorities do not come out. Now it turns out that in the United States there are no drug traffickers, yes, there are, "said the specialist in drug trafficking issues.
He explained that in the United States unlike Mexico the narcos are anonymous, but they are also politicians, "If it were the great trial, there should also be authorities sitting there, they have used the Mexican cartels for years for their businesses, the CIA used the Cartel of Sinaloa to transport weapons in the seventies with the guerrillas of El Salvador, that is, there is a complicity between the US authorities and the Mexican cartels and we have not seen that, it is not in this El Chapo trial, that is why it is not the judgment of the century. "
Almazán said that in order to understand the drug business, it must be seen as a triangle: "Up to the top are the Mexican state and the gringo authorities, they are also businessmen, bankers, oil workers. In the middle there are capos like El Chapo, El Mayo and all these malandros; and all the hitmen are down.
When you understand it, you realize that the Mexican state and the gringo state are operating, doing business. Without that complicity, without that sponsorship of the State, these guys (the narcos) would not work, here it's not a matter of these guys who are skipping justice, they've always known it. For that reason I say that the trial is a show, because I insist, where are the American authorities, where are those authorities that really are the ones that operate, "said the expert on drug trafficking issues.
The journalist and writer, who recently collaborated as a researcher on the series "El Chapo" that was aired on Univision and Netflix, said that this trial is more like a television series.
"We ended up being the bad guys of the movie, that is, the trial suddenly seems also a series of narcos where only the gringos are the good ones, where the Mexicans and Colombians are the bad guys, the trash of the world, and I believe that for this to work, there must be a large garbage deposit that is the United States, which is the largest consumer of drugs in the world. "
The trial of the Mexican drug trafficker takes place in a court in Brooklyn, New York. For 34 days compadres, friends, allies, lovers, partners and detractors of Guzmán Loera paraded, they were the protected witnesses of the government of the United States.
