Another Narco Video

This is a video of a captured assassin, Miguel Ángel Acosta Peralta, associated with the Sinaloa Cartel. It's about 8-1/2 minutes long. During the last 1-1/2 minutes of the video, he is getting the crap beat out of him with a baseball bat. The person beating him is saying, "You're killing innocent people."

During the confession, Peralta is spilling the beans on Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzmán Loera. He says Guzman is closely allied with the Mexican Army. He goes on to describe the weapons they have, their safe houses, vehicles, as well as their activities in drug sales and extortions.

He also gives the name of a prison official, of a prison located in Aquiles Serdan, who is in charge of extorting and killing people on the outside. He alleges that elements of the Mexican army and federal police are also involved in extortion and kidnapping.

At 5:45 in the video, Peralta describes how the man he worked for, Rolando Ricardo Valdéz Villaseñor, sent the Mexican army to kill him, but he bribed his way out with a payment of 120,000 pesos.



On July 4, 2010, the person in this video, Miguel Ángel Acosta Peralta, was found hanging from a bridge. Also found hanging from a bridge was Juan Manuel Scot, an official of the San Guillermo prison.
