Narco Trafficker EDNY Indicted in 2009 Free on Bond No Access to Teleconference Unexplained

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Maxwell Book
BBC - Honduras - CIA Trial Book - NY Mag

EDNY COURTHOUSE, August 9 –  Thirteen years after indicting Gloria Rojas Valencia for links to drug cartels in Mexico and extraditing her, on August 9, 2022 the Eastern District of New York prosecutors have a "status conference" with Valencia.

  The docket does not reflect what they have done with her, or she with them, in the intervening decade. 

She is free on bond; the complaint spoke of import of five kilograms and more of cocaine. And EDNY US Attorney's Office spokesman John Marzulli on August 8, 2022 declared that he will not answer Inner City Press' questions or provide it with information he provides to others, including his former employer, whether or not these others report the information. So much for due process.   

The August 9 proceeding was set before District Judge Allyne Ross, by phone. But at the appointed time there was only hold music, then 15 minutes later a hang-up. The spokesman said, without explanation, "The status conference for Gloria Rojas Valencia this morning did in fact take place." So, a fake-out? And no answers to this: "the defendant is free on bond. Please explain. And why the sentencing mentioned in Dkt 15 is not in the docket on PACER, and no 'sealed document' notation." So what is up? And why are the direct questions and appeal not answered?

The case is US v. Valencia, 09-cr-435 (EDNY).

Disclosure: This was prepared without meaningful assistance or answers from Eastern District of New York US Attorney's Office spokesman John Marzulli, ex-Daily News, who without hearing or appeal on August 8, 2022 decreed that said "his" / EDNY's publicly-funded information will henceforth go to some (including outside of New York) but not others, or other, like NYC-based Inner City Press. We have requested reconsideration, which has been seen but not responded to as of this writing. We'll have more on this.
