Today Chupeta took the stand to conclude his testimony which gave the defense an opportunity to challenge the witness

Business

Yesterday, Chupeta demonstrated his business skills in his testimony, he holds a degree in economics. On Monday it was about “his business” or should we say “my business”, its all about speaking in first person, beginning with “my drugs”.

He explained the business side of the illicit drug industry, which on the face of it is operated much like any other enterprise. He testified about transporting cocaine, which is the number one hurdle. From air to sea. And he spoke about the coked out captain who used too much coke, and began hallucinating, subsequently sinking the ship and 20 tons of coke.

That incident that swore him off of Mexican captains, it was from that point on only Colombian captains manning the ships.

He said he personally sent about 200 tons, 200,000 kilos of cocaine sent to The Sinaloa Cartel, and to everyone connected to the cartel. About 10 percent went to Los Angeles, and 90 percent to New York.

Chupeta began having issues with the deliveries. Especially the deliveries to L.A. were different and not his brand. It was inferior, powdery, broken and in a bad state. Also, to a lesser degree in NY. His lieutenants on the ground would report this to him.

Chupeta flew to Mexico and met with Chapo, Gordo Arturo Guzman and Nacho Coronel. Nacho he explained worked in logistic.

Chapo said the problem was the people at the border. Those who crossed it over. Chupeta says he knew Sinaloa Cartel was getting the product from others who have an inferior product.

Chupeta told Chapo he was sending his own people from Colombia to be at the airstrip when the cocaine arrived and at the border when it crossed so there would be “clarity”. He would send his people to where the cocaine was stored to inspect. These people would assure that wherever the cocaine was it would be his cocaine there and no other, this would avoid mixed product.

Chapo and the others agree to these new terms. He testified to business ledgers and practices. For example he would manipulate a high demand in New York by limiting the supply and driving the price high.

He was very much a micro-manager, a stickler for perfection and very, very proud of his operation and his cocaine.

Murder and violence

In cross examination it was the defenses turn to put emphasis on the violent side of Chupeta.

Purpura asked about Chupeta making payments for the taking of a human life. Although the U.S. government itself, in the past had accused Chupeta of at least 300 murders, Chupeta’s ledgers reflected his paying for 150 murders. Chupeta admits not being able to remembering them all. Saying he hadn’t counted them.

Chupeta was as organized about his executions as he was with the business side to his operation. He would keep meticulous expense records for his executions, complete with ledger entries noting payments to sicarios.

One of the entries noted a payment of 338,776 for payment to a sicario group to kill an associate’s brother. He was asked why it was such a high amount of payment, he simply said because it was a group of sicarios.

He told of paying 45k for a three person kill, although he couldn’t remember their names.

Purpura asked about the death of Lauriano Renteria, one of Chupeta’s closest and top lieutenants, who died after he was arrested in Colombia. He was poisoned before he could be extradited.

“With his death died many secrets about your organization, is that correct?” Purpura asked.

“He died,” Chupeta acknowledged, “and he had a lot of knowledge of my organization.”

Other murders

The defense went through other executions ordered by Chupeta. “ Tocayo” was killed in 2002 for being an informant. He and a dozen of his men were lured to their death in Colombia.

Two female Colombian prosecutors were executed in Cali Colombia, after initiating an investigation into Chupeta’s group, the Norte del Valle Cartel.

An attorney was killed in a Cali bookstore for being drunk and discussing the cartel’s business.

A man was killed for stealing $2 million from Chupeta. Chupeta ordered his sicarios to make the man feel comfortable then give him a coup de grâce.

Chupeta says he once worked under sicario Ivan Urdinola, whose favorite weapon was a chainsaw.

10M Dollar Donation

Chupeta says he donated 500k to Ernesto Samper, when he was running for president of Colombia.

And he gave 10M to influence Colombian congress on the issue of changing extradition laws.

Judge Surprises

Also something unexpected happened with the jury was out of the room on break. Judge Brian Cogan said he didn’t believe that all the testimony just offered by Chapo’s main coke supplier, Chupeta, about murders he had committed “was relevant”.

Chapo’s attorneys were stunned. What happened to the bad acts they were most likely wondering? There was a sidebar. I don’t know yet what became of that, but promise to find out.

All these executions and this is the sentence: 25 years. With good time and time served…Chupeta got a very sweet deal indeed.
