The lawyer for the brothers Luis Alfonso, Jose Regino Gonzalez Villarreal and Simon insisted that take the case to the end and is in constant communication with the family of them.

Judge Mohamed Zawawi Salleh, the Kuala Lumpur High Court handed down the sentence after a long process that began after his arrest in 2008. The brothers, who have no criminal record in Mexico, were arrested in 2008 in an isolated drug factory in Malaysia, where police seized over 29 kilograms of methamphetamine, valued at $ 15 million.
