Chivis Martinez for Borderland Beat
Nothing earth shattering, but this interrogation clip was released of Vicente Carrillo Fuentes, the Juarez cartel leader captured yesterday in Torreon Coahuila while driving a truck.
The man known as E l Viceroy, or Chacorta, the character based on him in the series " Señor de los Cielos".
He states he began working with his brother, "may he rest in peace" at the age of 28. His brother is Amado Carrillo, Señor de los Cielos", leader of Juarez cartel who died from complcations of plastic surgery.
He insists he never killed anyone, nor ordered anyone killed, to this day he says that never happened. He is asked about his health, he says he only suffers from gastritis, and underwent back surgery for injuries sustained in a fall from a horse, for which he traveled to Mexico City for rehabilitation every 3-5 months.
The officer asks him how he travels to DF, he seems surprised by the question and answers "by land".
The officer tells Vicente that people will be conducting tests to determine the state of his health.
When the capture went down, there were two trucks seized and another man arrested with Vicente, who was in the other vehicle. Next the man is shown in the video, he has been referred to as Vicente escort.
Vicente motions to the "escort" and says to the officer, that he doesn't know why he was arrested, that he was not with him.
The officer asks the escort how he knows Vicente, he answers, he knows Vicente because he has a sister that Vicente used to be in a relationship with. Vicente chimes in confirming that.
The officer asks the escort how he knows Vicente, he answers, he knows Vicente because he has a sister that Vicente used to be in a relationship with. Vicente chimes in confirming that.
Both the officer and Vicente tell the escort to give good answers, Vicente said that he already told the officer beforehand.
Vicente really pushes to separate the escort from himself, with the clip ending stating again he was not with him.
