However, in the United States Bureau of Prisons, the 66-year-old former capo’s release date continues to appear as September 14, 2024, as indicated by EL TIEMPO. That is why some discard the version of his imminent freedom.
In dialogue with EL TIEMPO, a person close to the Ochoas stated that in fact a possible reduction is being evaluated and that they are looking to see if Ochoa Vásquez has any requirements from another state before making the decision to send him to Immigration for possible deportation.

His older brother, Juan David Ochoa Vásquez, who was classified as the cartel’s relations man, died in 2013 of a massive heart attack, after serving only five years in prison, a sentence that baffled DEA agents, who always tried to extradite the whole clan
