The video was published by the media outlet Radio Fórmula and JC Chávez assures that Jr. only knows the bosses of the Sinaloa Cartel, with whom he is accused of collaborating, but that he does not belong to that criminal organization.
“My son is innocent of all the accusations against him, but we have to leave it to the authorities. We are calm because there is nothing. It’s unbelievable, my son is not even concerned, if he were guilty, he would be worried. He doesn’t belong to any cartel, he doesn’t sell weapons, he knows them like we all do, but that’s it,” he said.
