Osiel Cárdenas Guillén, former leader of the Gulf Cartel, was released from prison in the United States.
As confirmed by Milenio, the driving force behind ‘Los Zetas’ was released this Friday from the custody of the US Federal Bureau of Prisons.
‘El Mata-amigos’ (The Friend-Killer) was held in the Terre Haute prison, in Indiana.
The drug trafficker was arrested in Mexico in 2003 and extradited to the United States in 2007.
In 2009 he pleaded guilty to five charges of cocaine and marijuana trafficking, money laundering, and threats against US security agents.
As a result of his plea agreement, he was sentenced to 25 years in prison, but his prison term was reduced to 2024 after considering his time in prison and good behavior.
In Mexico, Osiel Cárdenas Guillén is accused of organized crime and drug trafficking, which could lead to his deportation.
Another possibility is that he remains in the United States under supervised release.
