FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
The man’s lawyer, Veronica Guerrero, told a news conference earlier her
client’s real name was Felix Beltran and that he was an innocent car dealer.
His mother Elodia León Vega showed a series of photos of Mr Beltran, and told
a local radio station that it was a case of mistaken identity.
“I have all the documents and all the proof they could want to prove that my
son is innocent, and they are mistaken,” she told a Radio Formula.
The federal attorney general’s office on Friday evening admitted that the man
was indeed Mr Beltran.
The mix-up is a major embarrassment for the government, which has been heavily
criticized for failing to contain the violence and flow of drugs since
President Felipe Calderon sent in the military to fight the cartels shortly
after taking office in December 2006.
Javier Oliva, a political scientist from the National Autonomous University of
Mexico, said the botched raid showed how poor the coordination is between US
intelligence agencies and their Mexican counterparts.
The US Drugs Enforcement Administration had sought Jesus Alfredo Guzman since
he was charged for cocaine trafficking in 2009. The Americans were swift to
congratulate Mexico for his capture, and then to ask for his extradition.
“This is really serious. Nothing like this has ever happened before,” he said,
wondering how the agencies had announced the arrest without making the
proper checks. “The main responsibility here lies with the DEA.”
The arrest came just over a week before Mexicans vote for a leader to replace
Mr Calderon, whom the constitution bars from seeking a second term.
Brutal clashes between drug cartels and Mexican authorities have killed more
than 60,000 people since the president launched his crackdown on the gangs.
The arrest of Chapo would be a huge triumph for any government – especially
ahead of the elections.
“This arrest is all about politics,” said Elodia León Vega, the mother of the
wrongly accused. “They just want to win votes.”
