Felix Gallardo-Then and now

The ongoing saga of the possible transfer of Mexican cartel leader Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo from prison to house arrest continues. The cartel leader who was involved in the kidnap, torture, and murder of DEA agent Enrique Camarena and his Mexican pilot, Alfredo Zavala Avelar, was scheduled to be transferred to house arrest, but that has been delayed due to appeals from the prosecutors.

Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo will remain in prison; Transfer suspended for 2nd time

On 12 September, a federal judge granted house arrest to the founder of the Guadalajara Cartel.

The transfer of narco-trafficker Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo planned for this Friday, September 23, was suspended for the 2nd time.

The General Directorate of Prevention and Social Reintegration of the state of Jalisco announced by way of a statement at 2:50 pm on Thursday, it received a notification from the 7th District judge of the suspension of the transfer of Feliz Gallardo to the authorized residence because the Federal Prosecutor's Office had requested he be transferred to a Federal Center of Social Reintegration in the state of Morelos and to correct some deficiencies of the company that will supervise the electronic monitoring bracelet.

"The judge of the 7th District denied the transfer to a Federal Center of Social Reintegration, but postponed the measure until the deficiencies of the company supervising the electronic bracelet are corrected, with no date specified for the moment." 

It is worth remembering that on September 15, the transfer of the 76-year-old Boss of Bosses was scheduled to a residence in the metropolitan zone of Guadalajara to serve out the rest of his sentence of 40 years in prison, the same that was postponed since the National Guard argued that it did not have the capacity to carry out the transfer.

On September 12, a federal judge granted house arrest to the founder of the Guadalajara Cartel due to his deteriorated state of health.
