An older brother of the Flores twins — once Chicago’s biggest narcotics traffickers — has admitted he hid millions of dollars of their drug proceeds under his porch in Texas.
That was after Pedro Flores and Margarito Flores had surrendered to federal authorities more than a decade ago in a case linked to Sinaloa cartel drug lord Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán Loera.
Armando Flores was living with his brothers in Mexico when they surrendered in 2008 and also had agreed to cooperate with federal authorities, according to Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Erskine. He said Armando Flores and Valerie Gaytan, who’s Margarito Flores’ wife, picked up the $1.9 million, which was stashed in a car parked in a garage.
On Thursday, he told U.S. District Judge Matthew Kennelly he was working as a Lyft driver before he was arrested about 10 months ago. He’s been in federal custody ever since. His sentencing date hasn’t been set., are in witness protection after serving prison terms for smuggling at least 71 tons of drugs, mostly cocaine but also heroin.
