6ix9ine’s Driver has testified in his ongoing trail. The driver reportedly became an Informant after ICE arrested him. According to Inner City Press’ Matthew Russell Lee, who is live-tweeting from the trial in Manhattan’s Thurgood Marshall United States courthouse today (Sept. 23), Rivera revealed that he became an informant for authorities following an arrest by ICE and provided police with info on the rapper and his associates.
“While you were detained, did you speak with law enforcement about cooperating?” Jorge was questioned, to which he responded, “Yes.”
According to Rivera, 6ix9ine had no knowledge at the beginning but may have become suspicious. “Did you ever come to believe that Tekashi suspected you of cooperating,” Rivera was asked. Rivera responded, “Yes, toward the end.”
