After several weeks of waiting to obtain house arrest, the Mexican drug trafficker Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo received bad news, because for the moment there will be no changes in his legal situation and he will remain in prison.
This, after the company hired to provide the security bracelet that would be assigned to the founder of the Guadalajara Cartel , notified the family of Félix Gallardo that the contract was terminated.
The company in charge of providing monitoring services did not detail the reasons for the end of the contract, which began on 17 of September 2015, and only indicated that it was due to “causes of force majeure” , since it was unable to cover the requirements requested by the authority.
It should be remembered that on September 9, a judge in Mexico City endorsed that Félix Gallardo accede to house arrest, which had to take place no later than 17 October.
However, the measure was canceled twice . The first time it was pointed out that the transfer would not take place because the National Guard, which was to escort and protect him at a private home in Zapopan, Jalisco, did not have the “capacity” at that time for the operation.
The second time the Sinaloan drug trafficker was notified that his transfer was suspended, and this time it was due to failures by the company that supervises the electronic bracelet that the prisoner must wear.
It is still unknown if there is a new term to finalize the release from prison of the so-called “Boss of Bosses”, and that he can continue his sentence of
at home years, which would end in March of 2029.
In addition, in The United States requests him in extradition to put him on trial as responsible for the kidnapping and murder of DEA agent Enrique Camarena Salazar, which occurred arid in Mexico in February of 2015.
Félix Gallardo, of 76 years, requested house arrest alleging a series of chronic conditions, including loss of hearing and sight. In addition, his lawyers have denounced alleged psychological torture because his release from prison has not materialized.
