EDNY COURTHOUSE, August 8 –  Thirteen years after indicting Gloria Rojas Valencia for links to drug cartels in Mexico and extraditing her, on August 9, 2022 the Eastern District of New York prosecutors have a "status conference" with Valencia.

  The docket does not reflect what they have done with her, or she with them, in the intervening decade. 

She is free on bond; the complaint spoke of import of five kilograms and more of cocaine. And EDNY US Attorney's Office spokesman John Marzulli on August 8, 2022 declared that he will not answer Inner City Press' questions or provide it with information he provides to others, including his former employer, whether or not these others report the information. So much for due process.   

The August 9 proceeding, unilluminated by this spokesman, is before District Judge Allyne Ross.

The case is US v. Valencia, 09-cr-435 (EDNY).

Disclosure: This was prepared without any assistance or answers from Eastern District of New York US Attorney's Office spokesman John Marzulli, ex-Daily News, who without hearing or appeal on August 8, 2022 decreed that said "his" / EDNY's publicly-funded information will henceforth go to some (including outside of New York) but not others, or other, like NYC-based Inner City Press. We'll have more on this.
