Los Chapitos confuse Al Jazeera Journalist for Los Damaso , kidnap and assault them

Translated by Otis B Fly-Wheel for Borderland Beat from a Proceso article

Subject Matter: Journalists, Los Chapitos, Villa Juarez
Recommendation: No prior subject matter knowledge required

An armed group of Ivan Archivaldo Guzman, son of El Chapo Guzman, detained and assaulted Al Jazeera journalists when confusing them with another delinquent group linked to Damaso Lopez "El Licenciado", in Villa Juarez, Navolato.


The group of journalists were held for 45 minutes and were later released after the armed group realized their mistake. However the journalists were stripped of their vehicles, work tools and cell phones, and then set free in a field a kilometer from the Villamoros community.

The victims had arrived in Sinaloa to work on a report on agricultural workers and violence, but in the course of carrying out their work were intercepted by the armed group.




According to Noroeste, the journalists contacted the agency in Washington, where they requested assistance from the Federal Police, who contacted the Army to transfer them to Culiacan, where they are filing a complaint with Public Prosecutors Office.

Hours later, the Attorney Generals Office reported that the State Preventative Police located their vehicle in an area near the Costa Rican union, in which the video recording equipment of the journalists was found.

    6. IF, a big IF, if the reporters had been caught by genarco garcia luna or any other epn sicario, they would have got cogidos in the ass and they and their car would be in some narcofosa somewhere in Paracuachútaro.

  3. Sinaloa Civil War! Why are cartels their own worst enemy? No other cartel or government will ever do as much damage to any given cartel than their own internal fighting

    2. They say "Plata o Plomo"
      but a carrot dangling from a stick
      usually does the trick,
      Then it is the trickster's turn to exit the never ending story and it is a pity that the main puppeteers ever get caught.

      At least they got out alive, no?

  5. Lucky boys!
    If other group had caught the Al Jazeera reporter and company they could be buried by now.
    Maybe in their world the "chapitos" still believe in some decency.

    3. They were international journalist that's why they were freed cause killing them would have attracted heat on Chapo's sons cartel. Chapos sons cartel are decent people is the biggest joke. Chapos sons are brats and showoffs who have no respect for anyone.

    4. Los Chapitos sean lo que sean si se portan bien con la gente en sus terrenos. Yo sé por qué en un rancho cercano a Culiacán tengo familia y una noche estaban pistiando y cotorreando y dejaron ir unos tiros de un R. En chinga llegaron gente del Archi a investigar nomas pidieron que pararan con los tiros y que tengan buenas noches. Pero si le advirtió Ahorita si andan con todo dando chingasos y levantando a cuál quier desconocido. Se portan bien y los dejan ir con vida, no son mata-inocentes pero tampoco son santos.

    5. Decency has nothing to go with it 5:57. Los Chapitos are scared shitless of the Mexican government. They know all too well what happens when you piss them off or you make them look like fools in the international press. Remember how the Chapitos cried when they were implicated in the El Kevin rescue or when they left the letter behind saying Damaso ambushed them. Be prepared for another plea to the Mexicans Feds advising they had nothing to do with the kidnapping and assaults of the journalist through their attorney. Just like they did with the Mexican military ambush.

  11. what were these guys thinking, going to a war zone without a fixer and or permission from the people that control the turf?

    im not a journalist, but even I know you don't just head into a conflict without a fixer/guide. they're lucky these gunmen didn't just open up on them as soon as they saw them.

    3. The guy is kind of right. It is a war zone...unfortunately. They should have hired a local to take them around and see if they can be granted access and not be confused to be rivals.

    4. He is very involved in the business just low key he is like a Vicente zambada type of person and very well liked by mayo aswell he ain't wanted by the u.s for nothing. It's said he handles allot of the import n export side of the business coming from south America. Don't be surprised if he's the next one on the thrown instead of alfredito.

    2. I'm sure Ivan had no idea it even happened until it was already over with. The cold hard reality is most supreme leaders have no idea their guys fucked up until its already too late. The Capos or LT's typically clean up the mess.
