Adalid Cabrera
Huato and

been charged
in the U.S.

Inner City
Press on June

SDNY District

Marrero and
witnessed the
guilty plea of
Francisco
Javier Mecina
Barrera, which
had not been
listed in the

superseding
indictment on
May 24 by
Magistrate
Judge Gabriel
W. Gorenstein,
with a final
pre-trial
conference
ostensibly
sent for June
2 at 9:30 am.
Then
just after,
unannounced,
he pleaded
guilty. Later
the
prosecutors
bragged about
the Cartel de
Houston. But
how much is
being
hidden?
Sentencing is
set for
September 8 at
10 am.
The overall
case is
US v. De Le
Mora, et al.,
21-cr-133
