The Flowers brothers were key witnesses in sinking the leader of the Sinaloa Cartel and more than 54 people involved in drug trafficking, but while cooperating with the authorities they continued to commit crimes.
Twins Pedro and Margarito Flores are out of jail for betraying El Chapo, the Chapo, who was their partner for drug trafficking in Chicago. However, they are now being investigated again for remarks with Felipe Cabrera Sarabia’s lawyer Inge and / or the Lord of the Sierra, who was head of escorts for the former Sinaloa Cartel leader.
The twins allegedly committed crimes while imprisoned, according to court records consulted by the Chicago Sun Times, which is why Ralph Meczyk, a representative of Cabrera Sarabia, has made formal accusations.
Currently the collaborators of the Drug Control Administration (DEA) are in house arrest according to American media sources. The two were sentenced in 2015 to 14 years in prison, but had been imprisoned since 2008, so they had already served part of that sentence. In 2019 they wanted to leave early, but were denied the benefit.

According to court records consulted by Infobae Mexico Margarito Flores asked to be allowed to serve his sentence in house confinement for increases in cases of VOCID-19 in the prison where he was, as he would be susceptible to medical conditions he suffers, but the authorities denied him this motion on August 7, 2020. However, it is now revealed that he got his petitions along with his brother.
Pere and Margarito Flores built a criminal empire for the trafficking of tons of cocaine in Chicago associated with the Chapo and expanded into that region. But when the war between Mexican cartels in 2008, the brothers contacted US authorities to cooperate. They worked undercover for the DEA, recorded calls with Chapo and photographed other partners.
He is credited with having given Vicente Zambada Niebla, the son of Ismael Zambada García, in May. Until 2019, the testimonies of the twins were key to catching another 54 members of the Sinaloa and Beltrán Leyva cartels; including Felipe Cabrera Sarabia, whose new legal references against the Flowers twins in Chicago were confirmed by his lawyer.

Lord of the Saw was arrested in 2011 and extradited to Chicago on June 12 last year, after being required by the Federal District Court of Northern Illinois. He worked as an operator of the Sinaloa Cartel in Durango and southern Chihuahua when he founded the Los Cabrera cell, along with his brothers Luis Alberto and Alejandro; the present leader is Jose Luis, who follows in the illicit business for the criminal group sinaloense.
Ralph Meczyk, according to the Chicago Sun Times, had hinted that two people who cooperated with U.S. authorities would be charged with new charges for their criminal conduct while in prison. That was in December 2020. But as early as February 2021, the Sierra Lord’s attorney clarified that he was referring to the Flowers twins, who are in effect under federal investigation.
And is that even though the US government confiscated more than four million dollars from the brothers and awarded $ 300 thousand to their relatives for living expenses, it is now doubtful whether more money was hidden.
For example, Peter gave a $ 200,000 Bentley to his wife shortly before he was taken into custody. He was the one who testified against Chapo in the Eastern District Court of New York in the so-called “trial of the century.” The twins’ operations are considered to have been for distribution and not in acts of violence, however, new investigations will determine whether to continue drug trafficking or other illicit activities while they were closed.
Between 2005 and 2008, the brothers managed to distribute $ 1.8 billion worth of shipments to Chicago, Columbus, Cincinnati, Detroit, Milwaukee, New York, Philadelphia, Washington and Vancouver, Canada, according to a statement from the Department of Status dated January 27, 2015.

A public document from the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) notes that they distributed from Chicago between 1,500 and 2,000 pounds of cocaine a month that they sent hidden in false ceilings of cargo truck cabins. They used the same method to send cash to Guzmán Loera in Mexico.
Pere was the mastermind behind the operations and Margarito was the one who held meetings with the customers and was in charge of transporting the goods. Both are now 39 years old and are on supervised release as they would fulfill their debt to society in 2022. But they could return to prison while the capo they helped sink pays a life sentence, according to their lawyers, in subhuman conditions at ADX Florence Prison, Colorado.
