His moniker "La Muela" was also used by Jaime or Javier Alejandro Pérez, another Gulf Cartel member in Matamoros wanted on U.S. drug charges. |
During the identity hearing, the prosecution asked a U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agent to confirm López Falcón's identity. |
The agent responded he was not leading the case and could not testify against López Falcón. |
He said the lead agent was based in Washington, D.C. |
The agent present in court confirmed they had information that López Falcón was involved in trafficking several tons of narcotics into the U.S. |
He said his identification was done after the Mexican Armed Forces shared a picture of him to the DEA after a clash between the military and cartel members in Nuevo Laredo. |
When the judge asked for the picture, the agent said he did not have it with him. |
López Falcón's attorney Arnulfo Guerra asked the agent multiple questions, including why the DEA had confused López Falcón's name with Ediel López García. |
The agent responded the man was "Ediel López, La Muela". |
Guerra responded by questioning the agent further and saying there are several people in Matamoros and along the border who call themselves La Muela. |
The judge was not satisfied with the agent's answers and postponed the hearing for 27 September. |
She asked the agent to come prepared for the hearing with evidence to present and to bring the lead agent to testify in court if he could. |
On 3 February 2015, López Falcón pleaded guilty to conspiracy to smuggle cocaine and marijuana into the U.S. before the D.D.C federal judge Barbara Jacobs Rothstein. |
In his guilty plea, López Falcón admitted he was a member of La Compañía (), a name that collectively referred to the co-organization of the Gulf Cartel and its former paramilitary group Los Zetas. |
He said his criminal organization was responsible for smuggling many tons of cocaine and marijuana from Mexico to the U.S. and that he was directly involved in this process, as well as smuggling the cash proceeds back into Mexico. |
He also confirmed Los Zetas acted as the paramilitary wing of the Gulf Cartel, and that its members were mostly ex-military members who acted as enforcers and hitmen for the cartel in their region and against rival gangsters. |
On 31 July 2015, López Falcón was sentenced to 18 years in prison for conspiracy to smuggle cocaine and marijuana into the U.S. |
The D.D.C also ordered him to forfeit US$15 billion; the court stated this was the total gross profits the Gulf Cartel made in drug proceeds from its smuggling centers across the U.S.-Mexico border during López Falcón's tenure. |
A few years after his sentencing, Mexican officials discussed the possibility of passing a law in Mexico permitting them to formally request the U.S. government for fifty percent of the earnings seized from a Mexican national convicted in the US in order to invest that money into their law enforcement agencies. |
López Falcón is currently serving his sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution, Ray Brook in Essex County, New York. |
His expected release date is on 27 September 2029. |
The investigation against López Falcón and other co-conspirators was headed by the DEA's field office in Houston and the DEA Bilateral Investigation Unit. |
It was part of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) program. |
The prosecution attorney was Adrián Rosales, who was part of the U.S. Department of Justice Criminal Division's Narcotic and Dangerous Drug Section. |
Assistant Attorney General Leslie R. Caldwell and DEA Administrator Chuck Rosenberg were the first to announce of López Falcón's conviction. |

The force left Kozhikkode to Pokkottur in 22 Lorries and 25 cycles under Captain McEnroy and CB Lancaster. |
This information reached to Kunjahammed Haji and he discussed the matter with Pookkottur leaders including Vadakkuvettil Mammad and Kunji Thangal. |

Rebels prepared themselves for war under the leadership of Mammad. |
On 1921 August 21 morning, rebels reached the spot, British force came in 22 Lorries and 25 cycles. |

But Parancheri Kunjarammutty who was not present in the last meeting of the rebels did not know this strategy, Kunjarammutty who was hiding behind the heap of soil opened the fire at the first lorry while there were only two or three Lorries reached the field. |
Hearing the gunshots, the army reversed the lorries. |
They threw smoke bombs to all the sides. |
Due to smoke rebels couldn't aim their guns properly. |
Bullets lost their targets. |
Still, they made heavy casualties to the military. |
Behind the veil of smoke, the military made to set machine guns to fire. |
When the smoke subsided, about ten soldiers walked on the road by foot towards Pilakkal. |
Without knowing that this was a trap, rebels came forward to capture them. |
Soldiers suddenly turned back and hid behind the machine guns and started firing. |
The rebels who followed them were killed. |
This round of firing happened two times and a number of rebels got killed. |
Kunjarammutty, who opened fire at the first with other rebels, came out on the field with swords when they had no more bullets in stock and they fought unto their last breath. |
Vadakkuveetil Mammad, the commander of rebels also was killed. |
The war continued for more than 3 hours and 400 rebels had to give their blood while only four died from the British side as per the official documents, but the eyewitness A Muhammed in his book "Swathandrasmaranakal" (Malayalam) says that he has seen the two lorries going to Westhill, Kozhikode which contained many dead bodies including injured soldiers. |
After the battle was fought, the army was on the way to Malappuram with Superindent of Police Cuthbert Buxton Lancaster (Lancaster was the son of a Leader in Church of England) and four soldiers in a lorry at the front. |
At Kummalippadi, a Mappila rebel, Mankara Thodiyil Kunjahmmed climbed on a tree and threw a grenade into the lorry in which police and soldiers were travelling. |
Lancaster and several soldiers were killed on the spot. |
