The Mexican government has granted the United States the extradition of Jaime González Durán “The Hummer”, founder of the Los Zetas Cartel.

The bloodthirsty bonnet captured on November 7, 2008 must face accusations of drug trafficking to the United States, which he has made against the Federal Court of the District of Columbia.

The US embassy had requested extradition from the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs since 2015; However, a series of legal remedies promoted by the defense had prevented the process from taking shape.

“The claimed act in which the Secretary of Foreign Affairs granted the extradition of the complainant is a sovereign act, discretionary power of the Federal Army, which in some way is exercised arbitrarily but is conditioned on the compliance with the constitutional, legal and conventional requirements ”, pointed out in the ruling.

According to the US government, “The Hummer” is linked to the manufacture and distribution of 5 kilos or more of cocaine and a thousand kilos or more of marijuana. This crime has a sentence of 10 to 25 years in prison.

This is the most important file that has been brought before a US court against Los Zetas, which also includes the arrest warrants of the cartel’s founders: the brothers Miguel and Omar Treviño Moralesnicknamed “The Z 40” Y “The 42”.

In 2008, the little man with slanted eyes offered no resistance at the time of his capture. The boss Jaime González Durán, 44, founder of Los Zetas, did not even intend to put his hands to his belt where he hid his weapon.

During his youth, “El Hummer” entered the ranks of the Mexican Army, but defected on February 24, 1999, when he was commissioned as an agent of the Federal Police in Tamaulipas.

Together with at least 3 dozen deserters from said elite group, including Heriberto Lazcano Lazcano, and Arturo Guzmán Decena, “El Z1”, they became bodyguards of Osiel Cárdenas Guillén, then leader of Gulf cartel, thus forming the criminal organization of The Zetas

González Durán is linked to the death of singer Valentín Elizalde Valencia, known as “The Golden Rooster”, who was killed in November 2006, after a presentation in Reynosa, Tamaulipas.

Speculation about the murder of Elizalde all pointed to the narco. One of the mobiles claimed that “The Golden Rooster” had been linked to the wife of a boss and he would have ordered his murder. Another, that before the concert in Reynosa, some men offered to sing at a private party after the show, but the singer refused.

But the version that until today has more strength is linked to one of the most famous songs of the interpreter: To my enemies.

Speculations say the topic was dedicated to Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, who was leader of the Sinaloa cartel, and apparently, within the Gulf cartel the issue was not well seen.

Two years after the murder, the founder of Los Zetas was captured. In 2015, the United States government processed the extradition of González Durán and the process began. On February 26, 2019, the Fourteenth Judge of the Criminal Procedure District, Rubén Darío, issued his legal opinion that “The Hummer” should be extradited to the United States.
