“Unveiling the Criminal Mind: Inside the World of Notorious Drug Traffickers Turned Law Educators!”
“A rare and intriguing occasion is on the horizon as one of the notorious Flores twins prepares to lead a seminar at the esteemed Kane County sheriff’s office. This unique opportunity grants us insight into the minds of those we seek,” shares an official, eager to delve into the intricacies of the human psyche.
Margarito Flores Jr. and his identical sibling, Pedro Flores, once held the dubious distinction of being Chicago’s most prominent drug traffickers, orchestrating the monthly import of copious amounts of cocaine into the country.
Their illicit operations spanned years, resulting in the influx of a staggering 60 tons or more of narcotics, culminating in the remittance of over $1.8 billion to Mexico, cementing them as major clients of the infamous El Chapo.
Their fortune turned in 2008 when they were ensnared by federal authorities, leading them to become informants for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration in their crusade against the Mexican drug lord, Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman Loera, the mastermind behind the Sinaloa cartel.
After serving their 14-year prison sentences, both Margarito Flores and his brother have regained their freedom. Margarito now finds himself at the forefront of imparting knowledge to law enforcement authorities in the Chicago area, educating them on the art of apprehending narcotics traffickers.
Margarito is scheduled to speak at the seminar titles; “From Kingpin to Educator” on September 25. The event will be hosted at the Kane County sheriff’s office headquarters, the seminar’s location may be subject to change based on turnout and safety concerns.
Sgt. Ryan Wasson, responsible for overseeing special investigations for Kane County Sheriff Ron Hain, sheds light on the rationale behind bringing in one of the Windy City’s most infamous criminals to educate law enforcement personnel. “It offers us a rare glimpse into the minds of those we seek” .
Wasson said that aside from this extraordinary event, he previously received similar training from a high-profile criminal, Rene “Boxer” Rodriguez, a notable leader of the Mexican Mafia prison gang in California.
Flores’ agenda for the seminar encompasses a comprehensive exploration of various aspects of the cartels, encompassing distribution logistics, concealed transportation methods in both vehicles and residences, command structure intricacies, and the tactical maneuvers employed to elude law enforcement.
Jeramy Ellison, owner of Dynamic Law Enforcement Training and the organizer of the seminar, confirms Margarito’s passion for aiding law enforcement and mentions that their encounter on social media initially paved the way for this opportunity.
It’s important to emphasize that Margarito Flores will be duly compensated for his role as an educator at the seminar. While the event can accommodate 80 officers, it remains open to the possibility of expanding the participant count.
Looking ahead, more classes featuring Margarito are already in development, planned for California, Texas, and Oklahoma. The seminar’s contents and Margarito’s involvement in law enforcement’s educational endeavors were met with silence from the DEA.
Given Margarito and his brother Pedro’s history as DEA informants and Pedro’s role as the star witness against El Chapo in the 2019 New York trial that resulted in the cartel leader’s life imprisonment, security remains a paramount concern.
Precautionary measures have been discreetly arranged to ensure Margarito’s safety and the well-being of all involved. While specific details about these measures and the seminar’s location remain undisclosed, it’s important to stress that the event exclusively caters to sworn law enforcement officers.
Although the Flores twins are now free and out of prison, their wives face potential prison sentences for money laundering, concealing hundreds of thousands of dollars in illegal drug profits to maintain lavish lifestyles. Vivianna Lopez, Pedro Flores’s wife, received a three-and-a-half-year prison sentence earlier this month.
Margarito Flores’s wife, Valerie Gaytan, is scheduled to face sentencing on September 28, three days after the training session for police officers—an unfortunate coincidence, according to Ellison.
In 2017, the Flores twins’ wives, Vivianna Lopez and Valerie Gaytan, authored “Cartel Wives,” a gripping book chronicling their dangerous and extravagant lives, including their residence on a Mexican mountaintop estate complete with servants and a captivating array of animals.
In a bold move, the twins launched a captivating podcast called “Surviving El Chapo” last year, with production by the renowned rapper Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson. This podcast delves into the incredible tale of their experiences surviving and navigating the treacherous world of El Chapo. Click to go to podcast.
In conclusion, the upcoming seminar led by Margarito Flores presents an extraordinary opportunity for law enforcement authorities to acquire invaluable insights into the labyrinthine minds of those they seek to apprehend. It serves as a testament to the transformative power of redemption, as a once-infamous criminal emerges as an educator, eager to contribute to the realm of justice and law enforcement.
