An attack on 'El Chapo' Guzmán's mother's house may be a sign of a looming cartel war

On Saturday, 150 heavily armed men reportedly stormed into the community of La Tuna, the home of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán's mother in Mexico's Sinaloa state, looting homes and leaving multiple people dead in what may be a salvo in a nascent cartel war.

At least three people from La Tuna and surrounding communities were killed,according to La Jornada en Línea, first spotted by British journalistDuncan Tucker.

Local news site Riodoce reports that as many as eight people were killed in the raid, but neither publication could confirm the number of deaths.

The raiding party also sacked the home of Consuelo Loera, the mother of "El Chapo" Guzmán, who lives in a house built by Guzmán in the community where he was born, which sits in the middle of the Golden Triangle, an area of heavy drug production solidly in the control of his cartel. They took two vehicles called Razers and at least three all-terrain motorcycles and cut telephone and internet lines.


The attackers also took vehicles from residents of nearby communities, prompting many inhabitants in the area to relocate to the municipal capital of Badiraguato and to the state capital, Culiacán.

According to Riodoce, the attack was orchestrated by members of a criminal group formed by the Beltran Leyva Organization (BLO) and Fausto Isidro Meza Flores, aka "Chapo" or "Chapito."

The US government has considered "Chapito" Isidro a large-scale trafficker since 2000, running his operations out of Guasave, in northern Sinaloa state. When the BLO and "El Chapo" Guzmán's Sinaloa cartel split in 2008, "Chapito" Isidro remained with the BLO, acting as a high-level hit man and leading a group called "Mazatlecos," according to Insight Crime.

"Chapito" Isidro is also believed to head a group called "Oficina," consisting of members of the Familia Michoacana, the Zetas, the Gulf cartel, and the BLO. The Oficina operates in Baja California Sur, according to Insight Crime, a state adjacent to Sinaloa, were Guzmán's cartel has a considerable presence.


In early 2013, the US Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control designated the Meza Flores Drug Trafficking Organization, made up of "Chapito" Isidro, several family members, and three companies, under the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act.

The Meza Flores DTO, the Treasury Department said, "has been responsible for the distribution of large quantities of methamphetamine, heroin, marijuana, and cocaine to the United States" since 2000.

The US government said in its designation announcement:

The Meza Flores DTO is one of the primary rivals to the Sinaloa Cartel in the Mexican state of Sinaloa. As a result of this rivalry, the Meza Flores DTO has engaged in an extremely violent turf war with the Sinaloa Cartel which has resulted in the quadrupling of drug-war killings in the last four years and an increase in kidnappings and arson within the state of Sinaloa.

Based in Guasave, "Chapito" Isidro's group has a strong grip on northern Sinaloa state. Bannerstaunting Guzmán for his inability to take control of the area have appeared in Guasave as long ago as 2011.

According to the latest National Drug Threat Assessment from the US Drug Enforcement Administration, the BLO - wracked by infighting and fragmentation in recent years - has maintained an enclave in northern Sinaloa, where "Chapito" Isidro is presumably in control.

A raid by "Chapito" Isidro's Mazatlecos on Guzmán's hometown may be a sign that a struggle for control of lucrative drug-cultivation and trafficking territory in Sinaloa could be in the offing.

While "Chapito" Isidro has been a figure on the drug scene since the 1990s, he is believed to beyounger than the current Sinaloa cartel leadership.

With Guzmán imprisoned and other Sinaloa cartel leaders aging, "Chapito" Isidro may have decided that the time is right to expand his territory.

  1. I thought it was el dos Banderas who was the responsible of the attack of Guzman mother home,he's the son of Alfredo Beltran leyva and chapos nephew,he's CDS but rumors running that he fliped out and he's going to go at war against CDS.

    1. Dos Banderas is dead,he was part of the Guasave cartel.
      Another one who kidnapped low level players maybe just growers?Either way his luck ran out and he got soaked,many of Lizarraga family are heavily involved in BLO/Isisro,also dead

    2. Lmao you're so ignorant. That was el dos letras. Dos banderas aka tito is the oldest son of el mochomo who has been groomed to head the blo. He also happens to be the grandson of chapos half brother, now deceased. This is all an act of war against guano who killed his half brother. And isidro is not dead, he's the acting boss of blo

  2. I think this is one thing that should be considered in future by US officials .That is the stature of the future inmates that we will import out of mexico . We could save billions by not building our prisons as tall that will accommodate all these short fuckers .

  3. The chapito isidro part of this story Is only there for propaganda against him, nowhere does it mention in this article what's it really all about, los 2 banderas finally deciding what team they play for and getting revenge for their grandpa's death. We have one thing for sure it's their side of the family that's causing the ruckus, now is it tito? Is it a younger brother? Maybe one of Arturo's kids finally saying fuck it going out like my dad (which I doubt because they would be fighting against Mayo not Guzman Loera... But that's another story...)

    If you haven't understood by now here is what everybody is getting wrong in this story, this action wasn't against el Chapo, it was against his brother el Guano. Tensions have been at an all time high ever since el Chapo's capture in Mazatlan.

    The big looming question is what side are Los Chapito's on, the mochomiyos, or the uncle Guano's. Their was a huge falling out between the shorties and the uncle since the big capture in Mazatlan. If it wasn't for Chapo's escape the big war would have been between the bro and sons.


    Advice to all 3 parties, remember this is 2016 and not the 1980's, where actions like this would settle and END problems. This type of offense is only going to bring heat on you and your overall mission. Don't be just a chess pieces like el Chapo to el Mayo... La Union hace la fuerza, your number one enemy is playing all 3 of you while sitting and skyping DEA agents in el Alamo next to el salado.

    1. That Sierra is Chapos people. Zam doesn't have much of a presence in that region. Id guess he'd back them up if asked to but it's not his number one priority or stronghold.

  7. Of all the Capos from Sinaloa who have been heavy hitters thru out Mexico and especially Sinaloa, they all had one thing in common that this Chapo Isidro cat doesn't. That's the support of Culiacan in one way or another or a significance presence in the city. Same for the plazas in the Sierra. Without the people support he won't last making any move to take over.

  11. I wonder if anyone else read EPN tweet from Davo Switzerland.
    Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto later tweeted that Trudeau had formally committed to lift the Mexican visa requirement that restricts travel to Canada, which was a promise from the Liberal campaign platform. On June 29th the 3 amigos, Obama, Trudeau and Nieto, meet in Ottawa Canada for a summit meeting which it will MOST LIKELY be announced that Canada is dropping the visa requirements for Canada.
    The visa requirement was initially put in places as over 12K Mexicans were arriving annually in Canada and declaring refugee status! And many were not even from Mexico but used Mexico as a jumping-off point to gain access to Canada! Human traffickers and drug traffickers took advantage of the no-visa requirement!
    Refugee Status In Canada means many years of free $$$$ (12000pesos monthly per adult and more if you have children), free medical which includes medical operations (need a heart or lung transplant or fitted for a prosthesis), free eye care and glasses, free schooling for the kids and free dental! No hables ingles!? No preoccpas!

    Ingles escuela gratis tambien! And after you learn English if you wish to go to school or college it is free, too! And the cherry on the cake Canada will pay for you lawyer to fight for your right to stay in Canada!
    If you can prove your life is in threat for being gay or on Cartel Hit list( la tuna residents) or an abused child prostitute or an abused woman with children you have a good chance of being allowed to stay forever. Folks like Dr Mirelles or threatened Journalists would likely be accepted as legitimate refugees. If after many years, perhaps 10 to exhaust all appeal, you are refused to stay, Canada pays your airfare back to Mexico. However, many Mexicans just go undercover and stay!

    Why would Canada implement this insanely generous offer to refugees? The Liberal Trudeau Government is basically a clone of the Hugo Chavez/Maduro style of Venezuelan socialism: Big government that will always support and vote for the Liberals as well as enough of the voting population who reap the benefits of the Socialist largesse. Like Chavez Trudeau is destroying the oil and gas sector and private business opting for growth through a Socialist welfare state. 10s of 1000s of government jobs are created to support, give care and nanny--judges, welfare workers, doctors nurses, psychologists, teachers etc etc.

    However, like Venezuela is experiencing, it comes with an economic cost. Trudeau gvt is now running federal deficits of 35 billion annually--a huge amount for a the population. For now Trudeau can get away with this debt, however, like Venezuela, when the next economic downturn comes it will be a huge economic and social problem.

    Why don't Canadians complain? The R word. Anyone who complains is called a racist! It works everytime!

    Canada is taking over 100K Muslims annually, so, why not Christian Mexicans. Vast majority of Canadians would take Mexicans before Muslims. Most Canadians who have visited Mexico have had positive interactions with the Mexican people.
    Anyway, if you want to visit and enjoy a vacation in Canada or claim refugee status very soon all you'll need to do is book a ticket!

    3. Fack, the US is in debt about 25 TRILLION DOLLARS, AND RISING.
      --In spite if all the vulture investments and voodoo economics inspired by Milton Friedman and his chicago school of economics accompanied by little dirty wars for personal enrichment of the partners of the US military/industrial conglomierdate and their torture and enhanced assassinations all over the world....what has trickled down is the certainty that reaganomics was a truckload of bullshit that keeps trickling down in place while trying to do a great leap forward...will most likerly fall flat on its face...
      Canada will expire trying to do the right thing, but stealing from mexico and LatinAmerica makes canada and the US a whole Lotta money, that should cover the favors...also populating the empire of the cold polar bears requires mexicans, real and fake, it is like just giving it all back now

    4. You fool!

      Here's a newsflash, you are racist. The idea that there's a hoard of people in Mexico waiting for free shiznit from Canada is a racist one amigo. You know nost of that stuff you mentioned is also free in Mexico? Yup they have free healthcare and education even welfare. Fact is the vast majority of people coming north are looking for opportunity. Looking to work for a living. Looking to be contributing members of society.

      The fact that you would choose to focus your anger on the very few that will come and sit on their ass, says something about you.

      Immigration has proven to be an economic benifit for just about every country.

      There's a reason why Canada is implementing this policy. Believe it or not there are millions of mexicans that are well to do. Canada will benifit tremendously from the tourism this policy will generate. Yea some will stay and some will even become leeches but the vast majority will become contributing members of society.

      So get over it brother. Yea your neighbors may some day have a little more color but trust me when I tell you, they don't bite.
