For this reason they were accused of production and sale of drugs. They were detained with one Malaysian citizen and one from Singapore. After being convicted, four years later, in 2012, they were sentenced to the death penalty, although the Sinaloa argued that they were hired for cleanup work. On April 22, 2016, after a final hearing that lasted almost four hours, the judge decided to maintain the death penalty, although the defense claimed that there was manipulation in the evidence presented by the indicting party. Only the sultan’s clemency was lacking. At that time, the reporter Victor Hugo Michel said that if clemency did not come, they would execute the brothers Gonzalez Villarreal on the scaffold. After years of anguish, the three culiacanenses prisoners in Malaysia for drug trafficking were only sentenced with years of imprisonment and not with the death penalty, as the authorities of that country intended. The Sultan of the state of Johor in Malaysia, Ibrahim Ismail Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar Al-Haj, decided to grant forgiveness to the three connationals.
