Jesus Vicente Zambada Niebla,〔(''Mexican druglord imprisoned in Chicago will be moved.'' ) 6 October 2011. Retrieved 4 March 2012.〕 a.k.a. El Vicentillo, is a drug trafficker of the Mexican Sinaloa Cartel. He was arrested in Mexico City on 19 March 2009〔(MSNBC )〕 and extradited to the United States in February 2010 to stand trial on narco-trafficking-related charges.〔(''Mexican druglord unhappy with move from Chicago.'' ) ABC News. 13 December 2011.

Retrieved 6 March 2012.〕 ==Charges== Zambada is charged with trafficking more than a billion dollars in cocaine and heroin. However, Zambada claims that he is covered by an immunity deal between Mexico and the U.S., and that, because Sinaloa Cartel leaders provided federal agents with information about rival drug gangs, he should go free.〔(''Mexican druglord imprisoned in Chicago will be moved.'' ) 6 October 2011. Retrieved 4 March 2012.〕 As revealed in a 2013 plea bargain deal which was made public by a U.S. District Court in 2014, Zambada admitted coordinating smuggling tons of cocaine and heroin with "El Chapo" Joaquín Guzmán Loera and agreed to forfeit assets of $1.37 billion to the US government. The plea bargain resulted in a fine of $4 million and 10 years in prison. He is considered a top potential witness against "El Chapo." Zambada’s lawyers declared that he could not be prosecuted by the United States, because, they claimed, he had been secretly working as an informant for the Drug Enforcement Administration, even as he smuggled tons of cocaine across the border. In fact, according to his counsel, Zambada had been assured by his contacts at the D.E.A. that, in exchange for providing them with intelligence about the drug trade in Mexico, he would be guaranteed immunity against prosecution for his own role in the business.〔 The New Yorker, April 10, 2014, "A Billion-Dollar “Narco Junior” Cuts a Deal"〕〔BBC Two Program " This World:"Secrets of Mexico's Drug War", March 11, 2015 〕 〔http://www.forbes.com/sites/doliaestevez/2014/04/17/upset-about-a-controversial-narco-deal-mexico-reaffirms-it-will-not-extradite-drug-kingpin-el-chapo-guzman-to-the-u-s/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vicente Zambada Niebla」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
