Betrayal, DEA and satellite phone led to Chapo Guzman

Borderland Beat

Chapo can thank a satellite phone he  used on Monday that led to his location and capture.  He called a subordinate, requesting help with escaping from Culiacan, where he was hiding in a tunnel.
 
Based on information from senior officials of the federal government, information originated during  the capture of  Daniel Fernández Domínguez "The Pelacas", arrested on February 12th in Puebla by the Criminal Investigation Agency (AIC) of the PGR and the Navy.
Fernández (in foto below) the  Auguacalientes plaza chief, was once allied with Los Zetas, before switching and becoming  an ally of Chapo.  Fernández had recently spoken with both Guzman and Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, and had in his procession 20 cell phones had the time of his arrest.
Several of the phones had in their call logs various numbers with area codes of Sinaloa.  Within hours, the Technical Services of the AIC and Naval Intelligence were aware that some of these numbers corresponded to Joel Enrique Romero Sandoval, "El 19", brothers Apolonio El 30" and Cristo Omar "El Cristo", Jesús Andrés Corrales Aztorga "El Bimbo" and  Mario Miguel Pérez Urrea "El Pitaya".
They suspects all belong to the security group of Zambada, led by "El 19." 
With this information, the next day the AIC and the Navy stormed the town of Reforma, Sinaloa, where they captured Joel Sandoval and his alleged accomplices. 
Corporations of the federal government acquired information using phone data, of addresses, license plates, map links, and restaurants.  They also accessed photographs of the children by using drug trafficker’s social networks. 
The arrested  "el 19" group
Two factors were key in reaching “El Chapo":
The first was that one of the members of the group of “el 19” had in one of their cell phones, a cell number, they said, belonged to "El Chapo," leader of the Sinaloa Cartel. 
 
The other crucial fact was that an informant alerted the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) last weekend that "Chapo" and his partner “El Mayo" Zambada would hold a meeting in Culiacan.
One obstacle confronting the PGR and the Navy is that the apparatus used by Guzmán was a satellite phone.  Federal officials said it was at this point the DEA offered technology support, by the use of Geolocators  (device that determines location).
On Monday, the day of the capture of "El 19", the PGR, the Navy and the DEA traced the device. 
Thereafter the U.S. accompanied Mexican agencies in the operation.
There was a chance that the capo would dispose rid of his satellite system. 
In the initial calls the device was off. But in the passing of the hours, on the same Monday, the cell was activated on during a call. Guzman was asking for help to escape from Culiacán, where he said he was hiding in a tunnel.   His voice was compared to his known voice  and it was positive match.
From that time the Navy almost surrounded the Sinaloa capital.   Guzman’s phone was detected in a home in the Libertad colonia, where upon arriving, AIC agents and the navy discovered  tunnels under the bathtub, that interconnected with the drain system which was exposed because the cover  had slipped.  (this occurred at the home of Chapo’s former wife Griselda “Gris” Lopez Perez at left)
The pursuers determined the phone had activated and extinguished several times during the same day. It was only activated when making calls.
On Monday a signal was detected in Mazatlán.  Federal Government waited a few days to study the activities of the phone and be sure Chapo’s location but also worked to study his security circles, including agents of port municipal police.
 "Had we will come straight to the puente on Monday or the day before, all that would have been accomplished is a shootout and his fleeing.  In order to be successful, we had to study their security fences and the police without being detected.. 
"The surveillance continued all week, he was tracked and his actions defined," said a source involved with operation.  The AIC and the Navy noted that "El Chapo" driving a Cherokee sand color with a armor layer 7, the same as the vehicle of U.S. Embassy in Mexico.
When the Mexican authorities arrived at the Miramar condo building in 608 Avenida del Mar, in Cologne Tellería they quickly subdued Carlos Manuel Hoo Ramírez, one of Guzmán's bodyguards, who directed them to the fourth floor condo, and  they quietly making their way to the fourth floor through the elevators and stairs.
At 6:40 AM the navy entered apartment 401 and overcame Guzman Loera.
 “He could not believe that we had reached to him, "said an official.
Note: The following is also reported: Once they were at Guzmán's front door, they broke into the condo and stormed the two rooms it had. In one of the rooms was Guzmán, who was laying in his bed, reportedly with a female companion; he tried to resist arrest and grab an AK-47 he had close to him.
Amid the quarrel with the marines, the drug lord was hit four times. By 06:40 a.m., he was arrested, taken to the ground floor, and walked to the condo's parking lot, where the first photos of his capture were taken.

  1. The phone is more powerful than the gun... All the top guys get taken down by one... You think he would have learned from Pablo, Z40 etc...

    Hiding in tunnels and sewers like Saddam, Gaddafi, Rodriguez-Orejuela... The Navy should have worn GoPro's, the look on his face would have gone viral and topped the FAIL compilations.

  6. Didn't he have various rings of protection and what not? Not even any lookouts? And why would you flee to mazatlan with a girl instead of the mountains? If they really raided his exs house wouldn't that set off something in his head saying oh shit its over? I would flee and prepare to battle. But he supposedly fled to mazatlan one of the busiest citys in mexico this week because of the carnaval and relaxing with a female companion! After they were chasing him. Seems waaaaaay too fishy in all honesty. I'm not saying its not him I'm just saying the way they say it went down is suspect.

    1. Chapo killed the last guy who grabbed him like this in 94, why wouldn't he? Chapo is no one at the hands of the government but he's still the boss. The guy with grabbing chapo is no one but an employee and he'll never be more. There's a clear distinction.(one has more power) They didn't shoot him because they KNEW not to. This is betrayel from Mexico's part because Peña Nieto is where he is because of Chapo. He betrayed Chapo, but his thanks were keeping him alive.

Tax payers please look into the statistics. Does busting a man whom the PRI built in another country solve anything in the streets of america?

    1. True, the capture of one of the leaders of a major drug organization will hardly have an impact on the enourmous drug problem in the US. I also think that any real change in the overall situation in Mexico as far as organized crime goes is doubtful based on this one capture alone. There needs to be more done, much more; corruption must be adressed as the threat to national security that it is, the rule of law needs to be applied evenly to EVERYONE, life sentences as well as the death penalty should be handed down as punishments for the worst offenders. All of this would take time of course, but as long as the people dont give up there will always be some hope for a better future. The durg related problems of Mexico and the US are interconnected but they are also different. So this capture doesn't mean much to the average addict but to those who wish for a more peaceful Mexico this capture represents a little bit of hope that things can change if people choose to do the right thing and act.

  31. Compare earlier versus recent photographs of Chapo & Z-40…

    Living a life of murder, mayhem & depravity seems to drastically alter their facial features and they will have to be identified by other methods such as DNA or fingerprints etc. rather than photos.

    So glad Chapo is caught, but I wonder how long it will take for him to buy his way out of prison?

  32. Druglords 101 teaches about satellite phones. The tunnels were smart though because Chapo could run or skip through them as the police had to crawl through. A billionaire criminal falls because he was too cheap to invest in a prepaid cell phone to be used only once or similar backup plan. He could have also escaped on foot without any phone or calls. Ka-duh!

  50. EL AZUL

    Decano de los capos mexicanos, hábil en las negociaciones para poner fin a viejos conflictos, Juan José Esparragoza Moreno, El Azul, ha sobrevivido poco más de cuatro décadas en el tráfico de drogas y hoy es el personaje más discreto y, al mismo tiempo, el más eficaz en la recomposición del tejido social y financiero del narco en México.
    Desde 1992, cuando fue liberado del penal de Almoloya de Juárez tras cumplir una pena de siete años, nadie sabe de su paradero, aunque sí de sus andanzas: se le ha visto en Querétaro –uno de sus refugios– y en 2003 sentó sus reales en Morelos, bajo el amparo del gobierno panista que encabezaba el gobernador Sergio Estrada Cajigal.
    Aunque en México poco se habla de él, en Estados Unidos el Buró Federal de Investigaciones (FBI) lo consideraba como el segundo criminal internacional más buscado en 2005, solamente detrás del terrorista Osama Bin Laden. Actualmente El Azul ni siquiera aparece en la lista histórica de los 10 criminales más buscados en el portal del FBI.
    El 12 de febrero de ese año, Art Werge, vocero del FBI en El Paso, Texas, anunció que había una recompensa de 5 millones de dólares para quien proporcionara información que llevara a la captura de Esparragoza Moreno, quien era señalado como el principal líder del cártel de Juárez.
    El vocero del FBI aseguró que el capo “ha tenido la capacidad para formar estructuras muy bien organizadas en las que participan funcionarios, policías y militares, e inclusive importantes mandos del Ejército Mexicano”.
    Añadió que esa agencia “lo considera uno de los hombres clave en el narcotráfico mexicano por los nexos que sostiene desde hace varios años con narcotraficantes colombianos para transportar cocaína a Estados Unidos”, según publicó entonces el diario La Jornada.
    La Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) también ofreció 5 millones de dólares por su cabeza.
    El FBI asegura que Esparragoza Moreno es muy peligroso, siempre anda armado y cuenta con un fuerte equipo de seguridad que lo cuida. En México, la percepción de las autoridades es otra: asumen que El Azul es un narco más proclive a la negociación que a la beligerancia.
    LA HISTORIA
    Juan José Esparragoza Moreno es más viejo que Ismael El Mayo Zambada y más joven que Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán: nació el 3 de febrero de 1949 en Chuicopa, Sinaloa, y es el sobreviviente de una generación de capos que hoy están muertos o presos, como Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo, Rafael Caro Quintero, Ernesto Fonseca Carrillo (Don Neto), Emilio Quintero Payán, Manuel Salcido Uzeta (El Cochiloco) y Pablo Acosta Villarreal, ejecutado en su rancho de Ojinaga, Chihuahua, en 1984.

      Delete
  51. La siguiente generación de narcotraficantes que heredó el poder también fue asesorada por Esparragoza Moreno. En ese grupo destacan Amado y Vicente Carrillo Fuentes, Albino Quintero Meraz e incluso el propio Ismael El Mayo Zambada, quienes fueron socios de El Azul en el cártel de Juárez, primero, y ahora en el de Sinaloa.
    De acuerdo con el perfil psicológico elaborado a finales de los 80, durante su reclusión, Juan José Esparragoza Moreno es una persona que evita las confrontaciones violentas y las ejecuciones, en la medida de lo posible. Su frase recurrente: “el negocio del narcotráfico no se lleva con las balas”.
    Así lo refiere Gustavo Tarín Chávez, testigo protegido de cargo en el juicio del general Francisco Quiroz Hermosillo, acusado de estar ligado al cártel de Juárez. En una conversación con El Azul, Tarín Chávez fue llamado al orden:
    “En esa ocasión Juan José Esparragoza Moreno se acercó y textualmente me dijo: ‘¿Me permite un momentito? Le traigo un saludo muy afectuoso del general Francisco Quiroz, quien es mi compadre muy querido. Dice que ya no le jale mucho al dedo porque los negocios éstos (el narcotráfico) no se llevan con las muertes y se echan a perder…’”
    En 1998, José Luis Santiago Vasconcelos, entonces titular de la Unidad Especializada en Delincuencia Organizada (UEDO), elaboró un perfil de Esparragoza Moreno y Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo. Del segundo dijo que era el más avezado de los capos de todos los tiempos. “No ha habido otro como él”, dijo a este reportero.
    Y sobre El Azul expuso: “Es un gran negociador, quizá el más fino estratega que ha tenido el narcotráfico en México, el único que ha podido sentar a la mesa de negociaciones a narcotraficantes. Sabe, como pocos, estar siempre en segundas posiciones, pues su experiencia le ha dictado que sacar la cabeza significa la muerte o la cárcel”.
    Una muestra de su capacidad conciliatoria fue la negociación que condujo entre una decena de narcotraficantes, cabecillas de los cárteles de Juárez y del Golfo, quienes limaron sus asperezas a finales de 1993 gracias a sus buenos oficios.
    A ese pacto se le llamó “La paz del norte” porque puso fin a una larga etapa de matanzas y traiciones entre ambas organizaciones criminales y logró disminuir las tensiones que sacudían a Ciudad Juárez y a Tamaulipas, las zonas fronterizas más boyantes del narcotráfico mexicano (Proceso 1433).
    En esas mismas fechas, según datos oficiales, El Azul fraguó su proyecto de crear una federación de cárteles para que el narco en México fuera operado por un solo grupo.
    Discípulo y amigo de Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo desde que éste encabezaba el cártel de Guadalajara en la década de los 80, Esparragoza Moreno no cejó en su intento de construir un monopolio del narcotráfico. Actualmente existen datos y evidencias de que ese proyecto ha cobrado fuerza.

Dice que ya no le jale mucho al dedo porque los negocios éstos (el narcotráfico) no se llevan con las muertes y se echan a perder…’”
    En 1998, José Luis Santiago Vasconcelos, entonces titular de la Unidad Especializada en Delincuencia Organizada (UEDO), elaboró un perfil de Esparragoza Moreno y Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo. Del segundo dijo que era el más avezado de los capos de todos los tiempos. “No ha habido otro como él”, dijo a este reportero.
    Y sobre El Azul expuso: “Es un gran negociador, quizá el más fino estratega que ha tenido el narcotráfico en México, el único que ha podido sentar a la mesa de negociaciones a narcotraficantes. Sabe, como pocos, estar siempre en segundas posiciones, pues su experiencia le ha dictado que sacar la cabeza significa la muerte o la cárcel”.
    Una muestra de su capacidad conciliatoria fue la negociación que condujo entre una decena de narcotraficantes, cabecillas de los cárteles de Juárez y del Golfo, quienes limaron sus asperezas a finales de 1993 gracias a sus buenos oficios.
    A ese pacto se le llamó “La paz del norte” porque puso fin a una larga etapa de matanzas y traiciones entre ambas organizaciones criminales y logró disminuir las tensiones que sacudían a Ciudad Juárez y a Tamaulipas, las zonas fronterizas más boyantes del narcotráfico mexicano (Proceso 1433).
    En esas mismas fechas, según datos oficiales, El Azul fraguó su proyecto de crear una federación de cárteles para que el narco en México fuera operado por un solo grupo.
    Discípulo y amigo de Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo desde que éste encabezaba el cártel de Guadalajara en la década de los 80, Esparragoza Moreno no cejó en su intento de construir un monopolio del narcotráfico. Actualmente existen datos y evidencias de que ese proyecto ha cobrado fuerza.mayor parte del país, y al que se habrían sumado los hermanos Valencia y La Familia Michoacana. Estos últimos grupos, de acuerdo con datos de la Secretaría de Seguridad Pública Federal, recientemente aceptaron unirse al cártel del Golfo.

  53. En respuesta, Los Zetas rompieron relaciones con el grupo que los vio nacer, el cártel del Golfo, y se aliaron con los cárteles de Juárez y de Tijuana.
    PODER CORRUPTOR
    Además de su capacidad negociadora entre los narcotraficantes, Juan José Esparragoza Moreno también ha logrado corromper a gobernadores y a altos mandos policiacos y militares. Una muestra es el estado de Morelos, donde se afincó en 2004 bajo el cobijo del entonces gobernador Sergio Estrada Cajigal.
    El poder de El Azul en Morelos no tenía límites: contaba con agencias policiacas para su uso personal y para la protección de sus socios y familiares. Según las investigaciones que realizó la SIEDO en Morelos, Nadia Esparragoza Gastélum, hija de El Azul, estuvo relacionada sentimentalmente con el gobernador Estrada Cajigal. (Proceso 1098)
    Esparragoza también gozaba de la protección de Agustín Montiel y Raúl Cortez, jefes de la policía ministerial de Morelos, quienes utilizaban el aeropuerto de Cuernavaca para bajar aviones cargados de droga que después era transportada en las camionetas y patrullas de la policía, según la PGR.
    La relación de El Azul con militares tampoco es un secreto. Exmiembro de la Dirección Federal de Seguridad –donde fue policía–, tuvo una estrecha relación con los generales Francisco Quiroz Hermosillo y Jorge Maldonado Vega.
    En el expediente que la PGR integró contra el cártel de Juárez, conocido como El Maxiproceso, se registra el acercamiento de Esparragoza Moreno y Maldonado Vega, a principios de los 80.
    Ambos fueron presentados por Javier Barba Hernández, miembro del cártel de Guadalajara, quien por aquellos años era porro de la Universidad de Guadalajara y posteriormente ingresaría a las ligas mayores del narcotráfico.
    Maldonado Vega tenía la orden de quemar seis toneladas de mariguana que había asegurado el Ejército en Guadalajara, pero Barba Hernández le solicitó una entrevista al militar para negociar que la droga fuera entregada a la Policía Judicial del estado. En ese encuentro, al que acudieron El Azul y Barba Hernández, le ofrecieron hasta 5 millones de dólares. “Lo único que hay que hacer es entregar el cargamento a la Policía Judicial”, le dijeron. Pero Maldonado Vega se negó a negociar, de acuerdo con su testimonio ministerial.
    –La droga no se negocia: la voy a quemar y exijo respeto a mi trabajo. Si alguno de ustedes se mete, lo voy a arrestar. Cada quien en lo suyo –dijo enérgico el general.
    –Esos son güevos, mi general, permítame que le bese la mano –comentó irónico El Azul, quien se levantó de su asiento y se dirigió hasta él. Le tomó la mano y le dio un beso como signo de reconocimiento a su autoridad. Al día siguiente la droga fue quemada en Tequila, Jalisco.
    Este pasaje retrata al capo como un personaje jocoso y dicharachero, otra de las características de su personalidad, según se pudo confirmar entre personas que lo conocen y que lo retratan. A Esparragoza

  54. Moreno le gusta andar “enjoyado y con el pelo brilloso de brillantina”, a la usanza de la década de los 70. Le gusta el alcohol, decir picardías y jugar baraja, uno de sus pasatiempos favoritos mientras estuvo preso en el Reclusorio Sur junto con Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo y Amado Carrillo. Es aficionado a los lentes oscuros de la marca Ray Ban, la ropa deportiva y el ejercicio.
    Existen pocas fotografías de Esparragoza Moreno, pero durante los cateos que realizó la PGR en varias de sus guaridas encontró algunas. En una de ellas aparece en el pasillo de su casa a la usanza norteña, de bigote y con el cabello recortado. Y en otra fotografía, publicada en la edición 1098 de Proceso, figura acompañado del boxeador Julio César Chávez y del entonces jefe del cártel de Juárez, Amado Carrillo Fuentes.
    –¿Por qué El Azul ha sobrevivido tantos años en el negocio del narcotráfico? –se le pregunta a una fuente de la PGR que pidió el anonimato.
    –Es un capo muy hábil. Le cae bien a todos. Él no asesina por asesinar. No le gusta la violencia. Mata con el dinero y con su carisma…Y le gusta mucho el alcohol. Por eso entre los narcotraficantes no sólo se le respeta. También se le quiere.

  58. Daniel el 7 fue capturado por el secuestro de Cevallos, amigo cercano de Salinas de Gortari, el PRI mas bien... Este 7 pone al 19, y 20 no puso al chapo por que no a de ver tenido linea directa. Lo interesante es que este 7 era zeta arrepentido. Seria que el chapo mando al 7 para el secuestro del Cevallos y ahora castigaron a toda esta gente del chapo, el PRI (Salinas de Gortari)? Un zeta arrepentido "7" enrego a todas las piesas claves del CDS y al chapo subsentivamente que eronia. Asi que el que solto la hebra que descosio el vestido fue un zeta arrepentido?

  59. That guy that has Chapo by the neck is not a Mexican Marine/Semar.Most likely DEA/Navy Seal.El jefe se respeta that was unnecessary.I dont understand why 40 ell Car washer was allowed to walk without handcuffs . This is El senor de la montana .el jefe de la sierra.El 701 .

  60. No puedo creer que El Sapo ta tan pendejo asi. Si pescan al 19 y al 20 debes que saber muy bien que le van a checar todos los telefonos. Yo no creo que esto fue la razon como lo pescaron. Alguien lo puso o simplemente ya se cansaron de el. To creo que Caro Quintero va a unir a todos los carteles como lo tenia Felix Gallardo. Cada cartel con su plaza y sin violencia y extorciones y muertes de inocentes

  61. with chapo's arrest, the USA and Mexico are sending a clear message that no one is above the law. A lot of idiots in the US and in Mexico cheer and celebrate these kinds of people partly because the media glorifies them, and partly because many see themselves as having few options to get ahead other than crime. i hope they take note of how these strongmen end up cowering and hiding in their last days.

    1. saddam hiding in spider hole in remote village-alone-both sons killed
    2. Kaddafi paraded through the streets getting beat down by regular folks after he was found hiding in some hole
    3. pablo gunned down on rooftop always in fear, if not for himself, that his family and children would be murdered by los pablos
    4. Chapo in a messy apartment (it was nice place though, facing the beach) and running through tunnels...some family including a son murdered
    5. El Tio, hiding in a closet behind some teenager
    6 Z-40 alone with one bodyguard driving through a desert
    7. Osama bin laden living in compound with a few old ladies and never able to show his face for fear of getting it blown off by a drone strike.

    Don't believe the hype folks, even at the height of power, your still alone and suffering, unable to trust people, wondering if your friend is going to kill you to take your spot, or fearful that what you do, will get your loved ones (if capable of love) killed. I think the humble farmer or laborer seeing to his family's well being and living a peaceful life is richer than the guy driving a ford 350 and putting his family in danger because working like everyone else is beneath him. He's ungodly and bestial.

    If you must live that life of crime, don't bring kids into it, and have some honor by only fighting other soldiers....leave the innocents out of it.

  66. "Jose Michoacano said...
    Didnt chapo and mayo meet up ? For what reason"
    Dude,think it was some kind of family thing?I think it may be in here somewhere,an informant said they were meeting and thats why Culiacan got flooded with authorities,and they collared some who led to others and then the phone numbers etc.They nearly had him in Culiacan,he bailed to Mazatlan and kept using a sat phone,he must have thought he was safe in Mazatlan(120 miles)from Culiacan but they were on him.

  68. Yeah, uh not the most fun way to live. Looks like he got complacent. With the woman and child. Kind of like hiding in plain sight. He probably got tired of the grind, always having to hemorrhage cash just 4 a brief instant of protection. If he uses shit to stay awake, thats what really did him in. Being awake all those hours will do funny things to people's brain. The energy needed to operate efficiently , you start to make weird mistakes. He knew the noose was set. It just takes a bit of time till they hang you by your toenails, lol they can wait as long as it takes, patiently while the criminal has to scurry and goes into panic and then its over, justa matter of days whittled down to hours..
