The same drug trafficker who claims the U.S. government entered into a deal with the Sinaloa drug cartel to allow tons of drugs into the country over the last five years, has also alleged that thousands were murdered in Mexico as a result of the now, infamous ATF scheme.

Last month, attorneys for Vicente Zambada Niebla filed documents in U.S. District Court in Chicago claiming that the government allowed him to bring cocaine into the U.S. in exchange for information on rival cartels.

Also, included in those briefs, is Zambada Niebla�s assertion that approximately, �three thousand people� were killed in Mexico with weapons from Operation Gunwalker (aka Fast and Furious), �including law enforcement officers in the state of Sinaloa, Mexico, headquarters of the Sinaloa Cartel.�

His attorneys wrote: �Mr. Zambada Niebla believes that the documentation that he requests [from the US government as part of his court case] will confirm that the weapons received by Sinaloa Cartel members and its leaders in Operation �Fast & Furious� were provided under the [immunity] agreement entered into between the United States government and [Chapo Guzman confidante, DEA cooperating source and possible CIA asset] Mr. Loya Castro on behalf of the Sinaloa Cartel�.�

Government prosecutors responded by saying: �Defendant requests all information in the possession of the U.S. government related to an ATF investigation referred to as �Fast and Furious.� � Defendant�s requests related to Fast and Furious � as well as references to Whitey Bulger, and other unrelated matters are gratuitous and wholly unrelated to any legitimate discovery issues in this case.�

Although the feds have denied the allegations, they have also requested that testimony from Zambada Niebla�s trial be kept hidden from the public.

On September 9, prosecutors filed a motion in U.S. District Court seeking to invoke the Classified Information Procedures Act (CIPA), in the trial. The CIPA was enacted over 30 years ago to prevent public disclosure in criminal cases of classified information.

Shocking.
