Mexico Interior Department (Segob) announces Castillo's departure

Proceso (1-22-14) Translated by un vato for Borderland Beat (proceso.com.mx/?p=393829)


Se va Castillo


(Update: In my earlier translation I erroneously said that Castillo's departure was not  related to the upcoming elections. The actual story quoted Osorio Chong to the effect that the removal of Castillo was related to the upcoming elections. I apologize for the error. Some comments to the story have already given us some interesting information on General Felipe Gurrola Ramirez, his replacement. I apologize for the mistake. --un vato)

MEXICO, D.F. (proceso.com.mx).-- Mexico's Secretary of Governance (Segob), Miguel Osorio Chong, announced that Alfredo Castillo will leave his post as head of the Commission for Security and Integral Development of Michoacan.

"Today, we can say that the situation in which Michoacan finds itself is different..this does not mean that everything is resolved", said the Secretary of Governance during the evaluation of the Plan Michoacan.

Osorio Chong praised the performance of Alfredo Castillo in Michoacan and added: "Today this great state is stronger than it was a year ago".

The government official argued that this decision is related to the beginning of the election process.

Alfredo Castillo was appointed head of the Commission for the Security and Integral Development of Michoacan this past year on January 15. He's a member of Pena Nieto's inner circle; he served as Attorney General for the State of Mexico during the Baby Paulette scandal.

    1. Heyy chivis i bet you money castillo made a deal with la tuta thats why he did not get arrested and the reason because castillo made a deal with la tuta was that la tuta has videos with the pri party representatives when they ask him for help to win the elecctions in michoacan and this is true believe me pri will never had won without the help of cts in michoacan also la tuta still have more dangerous videos with high government officials like with silvano areoles among others .

    3. Yeah,surely there are many many CT still around?How many arrests of the rank and file?Granted they took many of the"names"but surely if the"soldiers" and infrastructure of CT are there it could be got up and running again quite quickly?Maybe Tuta didnt need the rest for his money,he talks about making meth and mines he has since the rest got fucked?

    1. They're just protecting him and they're own ass! They achieved most of what they set out to do and that was to take out what they considered the CT leadership that they considered bad for business ( Corruption )!!! They split the AD movement knowing full well it had bad characters in it from the beginning!!! They made new deals and reorganized organized crime and now it's back to business!!! Of course not all things are going as planned, and that's why they are making these move now!!! We will we what happens in the courts with the imprisoned AD!!! And the rebellious Viagras that they made deals with (Rurales), and now are backstabbing each other!!!

  21. He completed his mission. He broke up the AD's in Michoacán.

    The AD's revolt against the narcos was only part of the movement. About a year ago, the AD's represented a real possibility of authentic democracy and representative government for Michoacán and Mexico. That is why PRI sent Castillo to destroy them.

    About 400 are still in prison, including, of course, Dr. Mireles.

    Castillo is just one more corrupt Mexican politician who'll soon be forgotten. Dr. Mireles is one for the ages - the kind of man a good country gets once a generation. The kind of man a shitty country like Mexico gets about once every 100 years.

  22. Did Osorio say who would replace him, or if he will be replaced? And what was the Baby Paulette scandal?

  23. Osorio chong is full of it. "Stronger than a year ago "wow all castillo did was wipe out autodefensas. His mission is complete.of course chong is going to kiss his ass, if by stronger he means less citizens protesting and gathering for a common cause due to lack of goverment justice.Than hes right it is stronger( grip that government has over citizens)

    ReplyDelete
  24. Remember Mexican politics is all theatre. He may be "officialy" gone but it doesnt mean he is letting go of any power or any lucrative deals he has going on. I doubt he or his benefactors are loosening the reigns on Michoacan. they are going to keep calling the shots only now they wont be held accountable for anything that happens in Michoacan.

    2. He was born on March 25, 1956 in Durango studied a degree in Military Administration at the War College. It features Master Planning and National Security at the Center for Naval Studies.

      He is an expert skydiver and graduated as Ranger Infantry School at Fort Benning, Georgia. It also features Defence Management Studies at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California.

      It is a military with extensive academic background and extensive experience in the fight against drug trafficking. In the portal of the Department of Defense, Gurrola Ramirez appears with the rank of commander of Military Region XII with jurisdiction over the states of Guanajuato, Michoacán and Querétaro.

      He worked from the 90s to the front of Special Forces in the area of Badiraguato, the land of the biggest drug traffickers in the country.

      Previously he served as Commander of the Eighth Military Zone based in the city of Reynosa, Tamaulipas and previously held the position of commander of the Ninth Military Zone, based in Culiacan, Sinaloa and the "Task Force Sierra Madre" charge to catch Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman.

    4. He served very briefly in Sinaloa because the cartels began to threaten him by leaving mantas all over Culiacan saying they would kill him and his family if he didn't cooperate. I think he remained just a couple of months. This makes me think he may not be as "proactive" as he might otherwise be in Michoacan.

      Delete
    5. Sounds like he wants to do the right thing, but may have some crooked politicians and powerful criminals tying his hands!!! Let's hope to God he has enough good people in Government that backs him in cleaning up the mess in Michoacan!!! Then again he could always be working for one criminal group VS another?

    --Another hijo de la chingada, but with el castillo de cagada gone the MAOistas can pretend that now, ora si they have changed, just in time for the elections...
    --Dr Mireles and the imprisoned AD will have to wait until the courts decide to find that maybe possibly, their arrests had no basis, no reason, no confessions, no evidence, and posthumously recognize and vindicate their struggles...
    --Man, see what grifa makes you do? Pipe dreams of now who will save el americano???
    And did castillode cagad have a chance to erase the fabricated videos andrecordingsof his complicity with el americano on the last La Ruana attack against the furezas especiales de hipolito mora???

  29. Does anyone know if Chong gave a reason for making him step down?
    Bittersweet in that you can bet he'll still be getting paid lots of money next year for something.

  30. They took him out to protect him from human rights and the UN but the reason he was sent in was to take out the autodefensas now with all of them gone the goverment can go back to being the masters and the narcos the puppets this is how the PRI used to handle things, drug trafficking is pretty much unstopplable unless drugs are made legal... i dont see that happening. PRI has always been crooked just read the book DRUG LORD by Terrence Poppa. A must read for anyone interested in Mexico and the drug trade.

  31. General pedorro jelipe gurrola the new commisioner and a real general, was assistant to general enrique cervantes aguirre, secretary of defense under the butcher of Acteal ernesto zedillo, he was a younger colonel whose name was confused with the name of the brother of cervantes aguirre, colonel pedro cervantes aguirre for drug trafficking...
    --ernesto zedillo's partner in weapons and drug trafficking, general enrique cervantes aguirre was the one, but girrola has bounced from veracruz to badiraguato where he took part in the heroic campaign to plant military grade weapons on sinaloa beauty queen Maria Susana flores Games, after executing her, then went to tamaulipas to divide and conquer the gulf cartel, all the recent murdering going on there happened under his watch, from veracruz to tamaulipas to sinaloa, working for the zetas, and now on michoacan, this fort benning graduate (school of the assassins for sure) must have learned something, about drug trafficking and infiltrating with his parachuting, no wonder this sicario of the atracomulco is there, with the face flaying signature of his kind of military in guerrero and michoacan for good measure...

  33. For the excellent public service and gratitude rendered to the people of Michoacán, La Tuta extends his warm wishes for a continued bright future in EPN's rat nest and offers a wonderful severance package complete with medical benefits for the out going rat and his family. What a POS!
