SAN DIEGO – A probe by the multi-agency San Diego Tunnel Task Force has resulted in the indictment of a high-ranking operative for Mexico's Sinaloa drug cartel accused of masterminding two massive cross-border drug tunnels discovered along the U.S.-Mexico border in November 2010 and November 2011.
Jose Sanchez Villalobos, aka Quirino, 49, is charged in a 13-count federal indictment, handed down in February and unsealed Wednesday, with building, financing and operating two illicit underground passageways. Investigators say Sanchez Villalobos oversaw the shipment of large quantities of marijuana into the Tijuana area and arranged to have it smuggled through the sophisticated tunnels he controlled. U.S. authorities have asked Mexico to extradite him.
"This investigation clearly underscores our resolve to track down those responsible for constructing and financing the sophisticated tunnels we're increasingly seeing along the San Diego-Tijuana border," said Derek Benner, special agent in charge for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) San Diego. "I commend the collaborative work by agents on the San Diego Tunnel Task Force and the U.S. Attorney's Office for their perseverance and hard work that resulted in this significant indictment."
The indictment charges Sanchez Villalobos with nine counts of conspiracy to distribute and import marijuana and four counts of building, financing and using the tunnels. All but one of the counts in the indictment carries a maximum penalty of life in prison.
According to the indictment, Sanchez Villalobos built, financed and operated a 612-yard cross-border drug tunnel discovered Thanksgiving Day 2010. The tunnel, equipped with rail tracks, connected a warehouse in San Diego's Otay Mesa industrial park with one in neighboring Tijuana, Mexico. On the Mexican side, the tunnel's entrance was accessed through a hydraulically-controlled steel door and an elevator concealed beneath the warehouse floor. The ensuing investigation by federal agents resulted in the seizure of more than 22 tons of marijuana.
The indictment further accuses Sanchez Villalobos of building, financing and operating a second major tunnel discovered by the San Diego Tunnel Task Force Nov. 29, 2011, in the same industrial park. That tunnel, which ran for 600 yards under the U.S.-Mexico border, resulted in the seizure of 32 tons of marijuana, including 26 tons recovered on the U.S. side – one of the largest marijuana seizures in U.S. history.
The San Diego Tunnel Task Force is comprised of federal agents from HSI, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection's Border Patrol. To date, more than 150 tunnels have been discovered on the California-Mexico border, more than half of which were discovered in the last four years.

Samsung Teases Imminent Galaxy Fold Launch in Kenya
by Kiruti ItimuSamsung has had their fair share of controversial phones in the past, but in 2019, the Galaxy Fold took the cake. It was their first attempt at the next major smartphone form-factor and it was riddled with issues. The issues were so grand to the point where they retracted their initial launch for a September launch to fix them.
The Galaxy Fold is an expensive smartphone, Samsung quoted a $1,980 (Kshs 202,890) price tag when it launched. I did not expect this to launch in the Kenyan market (due to the insane price) but I guess I was wrong.
Samsung Kenya recently teased on Twitter of an ‘engineering marvel’ that we should await.
From the video, this is clearly a Galaxy Fold, the unfolding the future tagis a dead giveaway. The interesting bit is that this launch is set on the 14th of November. That is Thursday this week.
It is kind of surprising that Samsung would launch the Galaxy Fold in Kenya. This is clearly an enthusiast phone and with its high price tag, it is clearly targeted for a small group of people who want to sample the bleeding edge of tech. The premise of having a phone and a tablet in one formfactor could be alluring to some.
However, you can also argue that Samsung is doing this to make a name for itself in this market. They will be the only manufacturer to launch a folding phone of its calibre in this market, which will make it stand out from the crowd.

Vietnam jails teacher for 11 years over Facebook posts
Nguyen Nang Tinh denies the charges, saying the Facebook account posting 'anti-state' material belonged to someone else.
A court in Vietnam has jailed a music teacher for 11 years for a series of posts on Facebook that the government said were "anti-state".
Nguyen Nang Tinh, 43, was accused of "making and spreading anti-state information and materials" in a one-day trial on Friday at the People's Court in the northern-central province of Nghe An, according to Nguyen Van Mieng, Tinh's lawyer.
More:
Mieng said his client denied the accusations, saying the offending Facebook account did not belong to him.
"The prosecutors stuck to the idea that the Facebook user named Nguyen Nang Tinh and my client Nguyen Nang Tinh are the same person."
Tinh, who teaches music at a provincial college, was arrested in May after he was found writing and sharing anti-state posts and videos on his Facebook account, the police said in a statement.
Late last month, a 54-year-old architect was jailed for 12 months over accusations he uploaded anti-state posts to his Facebook account, police said in a separate statement on the department's website.
Facebook is widely used in Vietnam and serves as the main platform for both e-commerce and dissent. In January, Vietnam accused Facebook of violating the law by allowing users to post anti-government comments.
The US social media giant said in May that it had increased the amount of content it restricted access to in Vietnam by more than 500 percent in the last half of 2018.
"Nguyen Nang Tinh is the latest in a long line of dissidents targeted for posting information and criticism on Facebook," John Sifton, Asia advocacy director at Human Rights Watch said in a statement on Thursday, ahead of the trial.
Tinh would be placed under house arrest for five years after serving his jail term, his lawyer said.


Reports methods with accessor-like names that have an empty parameter clause.
Methods that follow JavaBean naming contract for accessors are expected to have no side effects. The recommended convention for these methods is to use a parameterless method whenever there are no parameters.
This convention promotes the uniform access principle, which says that client code should not be affected by a decision to implement an attribute as a field or method.
The quick-fix removes the empty parameter clause.
Example:
trait Test {
def hasProperty(): Boolean
}
After the quick-fix is applied:
trait Test {
def hasProperty: Boolean
}
This inspection will not report methods that override other members.
