Nini vs Ruso: Radio narrative says Negro Azabache is alive and joined Los Chapitos

Gus for Borderland Beat  TY  Hombre de Overol

In a Radiofrequency narrative, allegedly it states that Los Chapitos didn’t kill Negro Azabache.  

The information in the radio conversation is that he has left Rusos and joined Chapitos.

Azabache sends a message out that if anyone wishes to do likewise and wants to join Los Chapitos, they are welcomed but if they don’t…. they will die with Ruso. 

Additionally, they say that Ruso no longer has any backing.

Allegedly, it is Azabache heard speaking on the recording.

From HDO:  "Here is another audio of Los Chapitos sending a message to Rusos men that they abducted and have Negro Azabache. 

 They allowed him to communicate himself where he says he was given a second chance."

New Index Finds Corruption Worsening Across Latin America

"MX" for Borderland Beat; InSight Crime

Mexico ranks 8th on the list (Source: CCC)

An index looking at the ability of Latin American countries to combat corruption has highlighted that signs of progress are still few and far between, and the region as a whole is backsliding.

The 2020 Capacity to Combat Corruption (CCC) Index found that, in 2019, many countries in the region have moved away from anti-corruption measures. And the timing could not be worse, since corruption and graft have held back Latin America’s pandemic response in myriad ways.

To measure the degree of impunity in each country, the report — put together annually by the Americas Society and Council of the Americas‘ (AS/COA) Anti-Corruption Working Group and Control Risks — examined legal capacity, political institutions and civil society responses. Below, InSight Crime takes a look at how the countries compare — from above average to worryingly poor.

Mike Vigil: RCQ Will Fall Before He Dies Of Old Age

Yaqui for Borderland Beat from: Infobae

"He will fall before he dies of old age", Mike Vigil's warning to Caro Quintero, "the Narco of Narcos"; also known as RCQ and Rafa. The Mexican drug trafficker is pointed to for the recent violent events in Sonora, a place that would be challenging other criminal organizations.

Rafael Caro Quintero, the "Narco de Narcos" , is the trafficker for whom the United States Government offers a higher reward, well above that offered by other drug traffickers, such as Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, CJNG's Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes "El Mencho" and that of the Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro.

For the US, his head is priced at USD $20 million, but, in addition, it also means a kind of trophy, since he is accused of the murder of former DEA agent Enrique Kiki Camarena Salazar, in 1985, a crime for which he was imprisoned in Mexico for more than 29 years.
