"El Tucán" of Los Caballeros Templarios Arrested

Members of the Federal Police arrested Mario Alberto Romero Rodríguez, alias “El Tucán” and also known as Efraín Isaac Rosales, before dawn on Saturday, October 18. “El Tucán”, who is 48 years old, is reportedly a high ranking member of the Los Caballeros Templarios cartel. He is specifically reported as an operator for Servando Gómez Martínez, alias “La Tuta” dating back to the days of La Familia Michoacana and said to be his right hand.

El Tucán” operated principally in the municipality of Parácuaro, Michoacán. In June 2013, he allegedly participated in the grenade attack on a hotel in Los Reyes, which was housing members of the federal forces. With the rise of the autodefensa movement, he was considered a major foe in the region of Apatzingán. To impede their advances, he allegedly organized roadblocks and vehicle burnings on January 5, 2014 in Antúnez. Thereafter, his luxurious residence was discovered there, located next to the town church.

El Tucán” moved to Mexico City several months ago and was arrested in the colonia of Condesa, where he had been distributing drugs in the area where the bars were located. At the time of his arrest he had about a kilogram of crystal meth, a firearm, and two ammunition clips. Based on this information, it is my speculation that Los Caballeros Templarios is largely disbanded and “El Tucán” was no longer an important cartel member. It appears that he had become nothing more than a local drug distributor.

    This guy was wanted and known about for a while,as you say it could be true about CT.Right now every man for himself?The manpower of CT must surely still be largely intact,,but if they've jumped ship to new cartels and are being paid,CT could be in trouble?As for Tuta,it is amazing he hasn't been given up,i wonder why?Maybe they didn't get all the videos?

  2. I saw this yesterday and scratched my head.
    This guy was never important. AUC in their listing had him listed as plaza boss then sicario boss in Parácuaro slotted to keep AD at bay. After the death of Panther seems he slipped into the abyss.

    seems gob is trying to show how they are still getting close to Tuta,

    that face

    2. Buddy of mines was working for CT says they've all been "laid-off" until further notice Chivis. The only ones working are the inner circle of Tuta. He also told me the Gov is working trying to work over a deal w him so he won't release more compromising videos of higher ranking politictians.
      He even claimed he heard of one video where Peña Nieto appeared (which I doubt)
      Although he had sent me the viagras vid around June last year.
      What do you think about this Tuta not being caught situation Chivis? I hear the CT are done and depending heavy on Z tacticts and extortions from video tapped corrupt politictians.

  4. Just another worthless criminal that has been allowed to terrorize . Another reason he may have left is when the locals started shooting back cowards like this couldn't hang . I said it before and I say it again . NEW GUN LAWS FOR MEXICO . Do you really think murder will go up ? Will it turn out more gun violence ? Are Mexican people generally so irresponsible that they just cant handle it ? Germany disarmed the citizens before world war II . People that don't have the right to have personal safety are prey . Anytime you have prey you will have predators. Sure there will still be criminals but will they be so bold ? They weren't when the citizens started fighting back in Michoacán. When the general public can help secure their own person there will be more security in the general public .

  5. well I have been hearing the same for a couple of months. But I am not buying it at this point. Look to an alliance before things would be hopeless.

    as for the video, you mean with Americano, who is not Americano because Americano said it isn;t and PJGE said "ok"? that video? :) well it was actually released last fall. I got it in November a couple weeks after its release.

    I have heard about the EPN Tutavison also, but I laugh at that one. In our dreams, same goes for Castillo. They would never sit with him directly.

    As for the vids. Doc M is the one who told me they found dozens at the ranch Tuta's mother was living at. In her home they found the vids and gave them to gob. That is where I first heard of them, way before they became known about.
    anyway that's my dos centavos.....paz

  8. These scums can't get away with as much near the frontier anymore, so then they try to really hurt people more interior of Mexico. I guess they think nobody from the world will put attention to these places in the south of Mexico like Guerrero and Michoacan, but now more of everyone can see how all the cockroaches operate just the same. If EPN can trap Vicente Carrillo, Hector Beltran, and Joaquin Guzman, I'm pretty sure that bringing Servando Gomez to justice, dead or alive should be no more difficult. Stop waiting for him to massacre more people.

  11. I never thought he would be released then. Too soon. And a district court this week ruled his detainment order is upheld. That means he stays put. his amparo rulings have not been handed down yet. I have long estimated he will stay in prison until dec-feb. But he has spent half his time in the hospital, so he may not live to see his release.

  15. Chivis, you're probably right saying that CT is disbanded (or almost) but the question still remains where is La Tuta?

    ReplyDelete
  16. Chivis,
    I'd say this guy was at least a little bit important. He was named in the indictment of South Los Eme members who working on some kind of merge with the CT. I know a lot of posters here don't think La Eme even comes close to the Mexican Cartels because many live in ghetto's and mostly prison, but when it comes to USA, they hold sway. They run the streets of southern California and no cartel can operate there without their blessing. El Tucan was listed as the highest ranking CT to deal with la Eme, which means he was at least a little bit important.

  18. Good morning. ...I did not say CT disbanded a reader did and I disagreed, I see no real indication of that and feel before it would disolve Tuta would formulate strong alliance(s) violence is up across the board since AD has been tempered.

    About El Tucan, I did not say he was nothing, I did question if he was even involved with CT any longer, some have left CT, when I say some I mean enforcer chiefs. Tucan was on the list I rec from Doc of CT structure. He was listed with pantera on a list of 100 ct enfocrer chiefs or lieutenants.

    what I did say is I think the gob over states the importance of their captures, most the time, and this is one. In Mexican media Tucan was designated as a huge capture, Tuta's "right hand man". and although things have changed in a year, I don't think this is the case.
