A woman whose sister is married to one of the most significant federal drug informants in Chicago history rushed to cancel an order for a $3,100 exercise bike system after learning of a new federal investigation into their drug money, a prosecutor said Thursday.
An indictment filed in June 2021 alleged the wives of Pedro and Margarito Flores helped stash away hundreds of thousands of dollars in drug money over a dozen years, starting with their husbands’ surrender in December 2008.
A sister-in-law of one of Chicago's Flores twins tied with Sinaloa Cartel boss Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman Loera is expected to plead guilty to money laundering.
An older brother of the Flores twins once Chicago’s biggest narcotics traffickers has admitted he hid millions of dollars of their drug proceeds under his porch in Texas.
Armando Flores, whose brothers Pedro Flores and Margarito Flores once were Chicago’s drug kingpins, stashed it under his porch in Texas for them after they surrendered in 2008.
