CHICAGO -- 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.
Flores' younger twin brothers - whose cocaine- and heroin-trafficking business was supplied by El Chapo - ended up agreeing to help authorities bring down the Sinaloa cartel kingpin. Armando Flores hid about $300,000 in a trailer he took across the border and in early 2009, he collected another $760,000 in drug cash from associates of the twins in Los Angeles, Erskine said.
Later, around 2010, Gaytan visited Armando Flores' home near Austin around the time that a U-Haul truck rolled up carrying secondhand furniture that Erskine said had about $2.3 million hidden inside it.Armando Flores again buried the cash under his porch, Erskine said. On Thursday, he told U.S. District Judge Matthew Kennelly he was working as a Lyft driver before he was arrested about 10 months ago. He's been in federal custody ever since. His sentencing date hasn't been set.
