'Los Tequileros', the Terror of the Mayors of Tierra Caliente




By: Paris Alejandro Salazar | Translated by Valor for Borderland Beat

(July 26, 2016)—Los Tequileros are an organization that operate in the Tierra Caliente region in the state of Guerrero.  It has a hallmark of threating and extorting mayors in the region, and they do it through an armed cell called Fuerzas Especiales Tequileras.
 
Raybel Jacobo de Almonte “El Tequilero”
Guerrero’s District Attorney’s Office has identified Raybel Jacobo de Almonte “El Tequilero”, as the leader of the criminal group that bears his nickname.  There are 15 arrest warrants against him for crimes such as: extortion, kidnapping, and homicide.

 The criminal organization, Los Tequileros, emerged as one of the armed wings of the Guerreros Unidos Cartel in northern Guerrero.  It seeks to dispute the control of the Tierra Caliente region with La Familia that borders the State of Mexico; La Familia is supported by the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG).
 
Johnny Hurtado Olascoaga “El Pescado”
La Familia, led by Johnny Hurtado Olascoaga “El Pescado”, and Los Tequileros, led by Raybel Jacobo de Almonte “El Tequilero”, are disputing for the control of the drug corridor that connects the sierra and the Tierra Caliente region of Guerrero with Michoacán and the State of Mexico.

San Antonio de la Gavia, in the municipality of San Miguel Totolapan, is considered to be the center of operations of Los Tequileros.

Juan Mendoza Acosta

On August 4, 2015, a video was circulated on YouTube where the then-elected mayor of San Miguel Totolapan, Juan Mendoza Acosta, held a meeting with members of Los Tequileros and while they were drinking alcoholic beverages, he expresses support for this criminal group.

Ponte verga, cocho, just like how we made you win, prick, gives us your hand and it’s not worth it” a man tells the mayor, the mayor answers: “When will I fail you? So tell me, when will I fail you assholes?”

In another part of the video they ask “are you going to work with us? You know you’re with us, yes or no?” and he responds “We will! I will never work with other cochos” says Mendoza Acosta.
Juan Vargas Macedo “El Garfield”

A month later, on September 21, 2015, state police detained Juan Vargas Macedo “El Garfield”, an alleged member of the Fuerzas Especiales Tequileras criminal group.  Local authorities noted that the Fuerzas Especiales Tequileras controlled part of the state’s Tierra Caliente region and that they were linked with the Guerreros Unidos Cartel. 

Juan Vargas Macedo “El Garfield” was the right hand man of Raybel Jacobo de Almonte “El Tequilero”.
 
María Félix Jaimes, kidnapped and executed on June 16, 2014
The leader of Los Tequileros is credited with the crime against former governing PAN member of San Miguel Totolapan, María Félix Jaimes, who was kidnapped and executed on June 16, 2014, along the road to Ajuchitlán.

She had gunshot wounds on her head, along with her body was a message that said: “this will happen to all who pass information to ‘El Pescado’.”
 
Carlos Salanueva de la Cruz
This homicide was in response to the kidnapping and dismemberment of the PRI leader in San Miguel Totolapan, Carlos Salanueva de la Cruz, who was found dismembered on June 15, 2014, and who had amessage that read: “this will happen to all those who support La FM (Familia Michoacana).  Atte. El Tequilero.”

An armed commando entered the home of the councilor of San Miguel Totolapan, Roberto García García (PRD member), and executed him with three gunshots on November 3, 2015, a month after taking office.  The crime was also attributed to Los Tequileros.

Los Tequileros are attributed with the kidnapping of 21 men in the municipality of Arcelia in January 2016.  They are also attributed with the armed attack in San Antonio la Gavia, with an outcome that left two people dead.
 
Ambrosio Soto Duarte
Intelligence reports indicate that Ambrosio Soto Duarte, the municipal president of Pungarabato, maintained ties with criminal groups.  He was also murdered on July 23, 2016.

“He (Ambrosio Soto Duarte) was detected at a meeting in the ranch of the so-called ‘JP', ‘Don José', ‘José Pineda', or ‘Rodolfo Maldonado Bustos', chief of drug trafficking in the Tierra Caliente region of Guerrero, who would be staying in a ranch in the municipality of San Lucas or Huetamo, Michoacán,” the report says.

It adds that “it is known that after the municipal elections, when the federal electoral court confirmed its victory on July 31, 2015, Ambrosio Soto Duarte summoned several mayors from the Tierra Caliente region of Guerrero in order to take them with Johnny Hurtado Olascoaga, “El Pez” or “El Pescado”, leader of one of the last cells of La Familia Michoacana.”
 
Alfredo Hurtado Olascoaga ‘El Fresa’
The report states that “El Pescado” and “Alfredo Hurtado Olascoaga ‘El Fresa’, have been committing kidnappings and shootouts against the criminal organization known as Los Tequileros.”

The expansion of Los Tequileros has also reached the municipalities of Arcelia, Ajuchitlán del Progreso and Pungarabato, leaving its personal seal: the threat to authorities.

    2. Seemingly that is true. You see their thug walks and pictures and it looks like they dress in alleys and gutters and bathe once a month. The bottom dwellers are moving up which makes it worse as they are without any feelings or remorse and rape and massacre babies and children at will.

  3. Look at how these god damn political parties have their own different cartels backing them up. Looks like the lines are blurred between cartels and political parties in this region of Mexico. Typically they like to operate completely separately and like to pretend like they have nothing to do with each other, but this story is showing how cartels backing up one political party are kidnapping and murdering politicians from opposing parties. Crazy !!!

  5. It's about to get super bloody in Tierra caliente, you got the craziest sicarios in the mix. La Familia Michoacana and cjng against guerreros unidos, it's obvious the GU will eat dust because they are not as deep as cjng and not even la familia. Tierra caliente is known for amapolas all over the sierra and law moicas who are with la familia are distributing alot of heroin all over California. Supply and demand now they want more because the gringos want more. Now they need more territory.. it's ganna get bloody because those cochos won't give up that easily, most likely they will ask for beltran leyva cartel to help them and more blood will shed.. terrible...

    3. From what ive seen(and i could be wrong) is that CJNG is possibly funding guerreros unidos in alliance and going after Beltranes which were the most organized and connected especialy acapulco. Clara Laborin and all her guys have been going down big time. Someone is giving GU power and it could be mencho or someone else, whoever it is will probably betray GU once the deed is done.

  9. It's clear to say the tequileros are desperate and scared that the mayors are cooperating with La familia. They know it's a matter of time before they take their territory, specially now that cjng is in the mix.. this small cell is not going to last.. that's how it is, big fish eats the small fish...

  10. Special forces is just a marketing technique to appeal to the young and gulable. IMO Mencho has the best cell to defend himself with if they got him out of safety when a state wide manhunt for him was issued that just says how much those guys are trained in that kind of work but hey who knows

  11. Los Tequilleros are a splinter group from LFM. El Tequillero was the subordinate of El Pez in La Familia, controlling the plaza in San Miguel Totolapan, Arcelia, Ciudad Altamirano and the sierras between these towns. However, Tequillero decided to branch out on his own and dispute the control of El Pez in thes plazas. According to an interview with the fiscal general de Guerrero in El Finaciero, Los Tequilleros is a group of about 40 sicarios dedicated primarily to extortion and kidnapping.

  15. apparently, it only takes an armed commando
    of at least 60 sicarios in 15 4x4's- fords and
    chevy's and toyotas and whatever.....to become
    someone out of nowhere.

    if you got drugs and guns always on the ready for
    your army of sicarios/as, then they will always
    come back for more.

    it doesn't seem like it would be that hard to create
    and maintain a feared cartel with clout. Im a
    businessman and it should be run as such. a business.
