Descripción
The Flores brothers, Pedro and Margarito Flores, are twin brothers from Chicago who played a crucial role in the downfall of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, the notorious leader of the...
mostra más- The Flores twins grew up in the Little Village neighborhood of Chicago. They entered the drug trade at a young age, gradually building a major drug trafficking operation. By their mid-20s, they had become major players, directly linked to the Sinaloa cartel.
- The Flores brothers were key distributors for the Sinaloa cartel in the United States, responsible for moving massive quantities of cocaine and heroin into the country. Their operation spanned multiple states, making them integral to El Chapo's drug empire.
- In 2008, faced with the risk of severe legal consequences and potential threats to their families, the Flores twins made a pivotal decision to cooperate with U.S. authorities. They agreed to become informants, providing critical inside information about the cartel's operations.
- Their cooperation included secretly recording conversations with high-ranking cartel members, including El Chapo himself. These recordings provided valuable evidence that was used to dismantle significant parts of the cartel's network.
- The information and evidence provided by the Flores brothers were instrumental in the eventual capture and prosecution of El Chapo. Their testimonies and the recordings they made were pivotal in securing his conviction in 2019, leading to a life sentence plus 30 years for Guzmán.
- After cooperating with authorities, the Flores brothers entered the federal witness protection program to ensure their safety. Their cooperation and testimonies were highly risky, given the violent retaliation methods often employed by drug cartels.
- The Flores brothers' cooperation marked one of the most significant inside jobs against a major drug cartel in U.S. law enforcement history. Their actions have been documented in various media, shedding light on the inner workings of the drug trade and the challenges faced by those who choose to turn informant against such powerful criminal organizations.
In this episode we hear from the Flores brothers who break down the arrest of El Mayo and what they think will happen in the wake of the shocking take down of one of the worlds most wanted men.
