As recounted by Cifuentes, the plan was to move the coke up from Ecuador inside the Pemex tankers to a Mexican refinery. We'll learn more about it shortly...
Alan Feuer @alanfeuer 2h2 hours ago
While the plan didn't work out in the end, Cifuentes said, there were several meetings to discuss it. The idea was proposed by Vincente Zambada Niebla, the son of Mayo Zambada, Chapo's chief partner. Vincente was the one, Cifuentes said, who had "the connections" to Pemex.

Jorge Cifuentes had all kinds of corrupt connections. After testifying about the aborted coke deal w/ Pemex, he talked about buying drugs from FARC guerrillas in Colombia. Chapo knew the drugs were coming the FARC. "He thought it was fine," Cifuentes said.

Cifuentes also said he bribed the Ecuadorian army to move his coke in military trucks from the Ecuador-Colombia border to his warehouses in Quito and Guayaquil. He said he paid Captain Telmo Castro, an Ecuadorian army officer, $100 per kilo to ship the coke south.

Fun fact of the day from the Chapo trial:
In the late 90s, after Amado Carrillo Fuentes died in plastic surgery, Mayo Zambada (Chapo's partner) had a Colombian trafficker killed. The reason? The Colombian was too busy building "a mansion" & failed to pay proper respect to Amado.

Fun fact (cont.):
The Colombian's partner, Jorge Cifuentes (who is testifying today), complained to Mayo that he had "killed a good man." Mayo didn't quite see it that way. "If he were born again," Mayo told Cifeuentes, "I'd kill him again."
