A Mexican cartel boss was sentenced to 36 years in prison in that country for his role in a drug trafficking and money laundering conspiracy.
On Monday, a judge in Mexico State sentenced Jose Jorge “El JJ” Balderas Garza to a 36-year prison term on drug conspiracy and money laundering charges, Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office revealed. Balderas Garza has been in prison since January 2011 on other charges including the attempted murder of soccer star Salvador Cabanas at a bar in 2010. At the time of Balderas’ arrest, authorities also arrested his girlfriend, Julianna Sossa Toro, a Colombian beauty queen.
From his time in the Beltran Leyva Cartel, Balderas Garza was the leader of Los Pelones, a group of cartel enforcers based in central Mexico. After the arrest of La Barbie in 2010 and Balderas Garza a year later, the Beltran Leyva began to fracture and absorb into the Sinaloa and Gulf Cartels.
