Note from Chivis
It appears that El Cadete is going the same path as Mini Lic. His turn in was initiated on the 11th and awaited for the grand jury to come back with the indictment. They did on the 22. He waived his right to bail hearing, the court thereby ordered a “without prejudice” order, meaning it can be addressed later.
They have also ordered that he be held in protective custody away from other defendants.
Beginning at a date unknown to the grand jury and continuing up to 21 and including September 22, 2017, within the country of Mexico and 22 elsewhere, defendant SAJID EMILIO QUINTERO NAVIDAD, aka "CADETE, /1 who will first enter the United States within the Southern District of 24 California

He was one of the drug trafficking 122 objectives of the Mexican Federal Government and having has a extradition order against him, the cousin of the Sinaloan Rafael Caro Quintero, Sajid Emilio Quintero Navidad surrendered to the DEA to contract an agreement for his complicity related to organized crime.
Quintero Navidad, identified by the US Treasury Department Plaza de Sonora “plaza chief” , is suspected as being responsible for the murder of the singer known as Tito Torbellino as well as the attempt on singer Javier Rosas happened in Culiacan.
Known as El Cadete, Quintero Navidad is singled out for the countless number of homicides and uprisings, and despite this, today it seeks to bargain with the U.S.

According to federal sources, "El Cadete", along with his former right-hand man "El Chapo" Trini, executed a few months ago in Guadalajara, Jalisco, is responsible for the violence in the state of Sonora.

In the conspiracy against the Guzman was also his cousin Jose Gil Caro, aka “Jogil”, as well as “El Mini Lic”.
Same strategy to negotiate with the DEA was used by Álvaro López Núñez, brother of Dámaso López Núñez, El Licenciado, who also proposed agreements with the American government to reduce their sentences, in exchange for providing information about their partners and enemies.
According to the Sinaloa attorney general, Sajid Quintero ordered a group of gunmen to kill Javier Rosas in retaliation for the attack against a narcocorrido signer in Chihuahua.
