MEXICO CITY.
The retired general Salvador Hundred fires is in quarantine inside the unit special of the metropolitan correctional from Brooklyn, in New York, this in compliance with the rules by Covid 19, which forces us to isolate those who arrive from other states, as confirmed by his lawyer, Edward Soap.
Now he has 14 days just because when he moves from one state to another, for example coming to New York, that is the system, after that we will help the family to visit him because obviously anyone has that right and it is fair, it is at MDC and he needs his family, ‘he commented via Zoom.
After the first hearing where pleaded not guilty to four conspiracy crimes to distribute, manufacture and import drugs to the United States and a money laundering one, he will now seek to obtain a parole agreement.
The charges are very serious and everyone knows that the general does not live here in New York, in the eastern district of New York, so in a situation like this it is different than if he is a citizen who has a cause in Brooklyn “… ( LIGAR) … “We have to think about many things, bail is one thing, the evidence is another, we have not received even one page of evidence about the case,” said Edward Sapone, a lawyer for Salvador Cienfuegos.
Sapone, a high-profile attorney in New York, will face the dreaded Brooklyn prosecution.
The evidence will come in a couple of weeks and perhaps it will come over many many months, what is important is that the public maintain discretion and the truth will be known at the right time, it is a very long process and we have to do many things to protect the general and ensure that his constitutional rights are in court because although he is not a citizen of the United States, he has the same rights as someone who was born in New York, “he stressed.
The next hearing at the Brooklyn federal court It was a program in person for the next November 18.
It is a first, main appointment, the judge will ask if there are problems if the government is going to start giving the evidence and I am sure that everything will happen super well because we will begin to receive the evidence a couple of days before the date I have confidence in that, “Sapone said.
Cienfuegos, who speaks English, is in good cheer and confident in which he will be victorious.
Obviously it is not something very easy but his spirit is very great, he has great confidence in the system, in the process and in his legal team “
The attorney reiterated that his arrest in Los Angeles took him by surprise.
He did not know this was going to happen, he was with his family, he is married, has children and has grandchildren, so it was a surprise and obviously when he is in Los Angeles to New York, it is not something very easy, he is a man in the 70s old “
