Sicarios leave Sinaloa and form cartel in Mexico State, dramatically named: "New Empire"

 "The Plaza has an owner CMNDTE", ''charging floor" and taking credit for attacks, signed "Nuevo Imperio"

 

According to the Security Atlas and Defense of Mexico, in 2006 only six drug trafficking organizations were identified in the country, and four years later increased to 10. Thereafter, PGR reported in 2014 a total of nine cartels controlling 43 criminal groups. Today, however, there are 14 criminal organizations operating in 96 of the municipalities of the Mexico State, and 10 have presence in the 16 delegations of the country's capital.


Mexico City, October 15 (Infobae / SinEmbargo) .- The drug cartels in Mexico are like The Hydra. In a decade that has cost the country 193,000 deaths and 30,000 missing - according to official figures - criminal groups have expanded and fragmented.

There is no official figure or consensus among specialists. But recently Francisco Torres Landa, secretary general of the United Kingdom Against Crime Foundation (MUCD), said that the number of criminal gangs operating in the country has increased from six to 400 in 10 years.

One of these groups appeared recently in the State of Mexico, which borders the capital of the country. Authorities identify the group as the New Empire cartel and attribute its appearance to the breakup of the Sinaloa Cartel, which at the time was led by Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman Loaera, now in prison in New York, United States.

"This is part of the fragmentation, having removed the big heads, the only thing that it creates is the dispersion of interests and even struggles to reach higher distinction in different geographical areas," said Torres Landa.



The New Empire began operating a few months ago, after the arrest of "El Quinceañero", operative for Dámaso López "El Mini Lic", son of another Sinaloa Cartel leader of the same name, explains a research journalist specializing in organized crime in the State of Mexico, whose identity he prefers to conceal for security reasons.

This group is linked to at least 13 recent murders in the municipalities of Huxquilucan and Naucalpan, and with "narcomantas" that appeared in different suburban areas of Mexico City.

"The day after the capture of 'Quinceañero' appeared the first narcomantas of the New Empire cartel, in which they threatened all the other groups of that area", says the Mexican journalist.
As a result of the investigations that the authorities undertook in the wake of the killings and these narcomessages, on October 9 Alejandro Gómez, Attorney General of the State of Mexico, reported the arrest of seven possible members in the municipality of Cuautitlán Izcalli.

In their possession were handguns and long arms, gun clips and magazines, cartridges, drugs, cell phones, tactical clothes, posterboards with threatening messages and three cars.

This new cartel is possibly headed by a man whom they identify in the "narcomantas" as "Commander 7". However, there is no official information.


NARCOMESSAGES, THE FIRST CLUE

The authorities detected this criminal group from a series of messages on posterboards located in different areas of the State of Mexico, where New Empire allegedly operates.

Authorities say that members of this group extort traders forcing them to pay "derecho de piso" - as payment is known, in exchange for "security" - and are responsible for various homicides over the last year.

Just this August, in Cuautitlán Izcalli, police found a message placed next to the body of a man, murdered and showing signs of torture. In Huixquilucan another blanket was hung on a bridge located in an exclusive residential area known as Interlomas. Others appeared in Tlalneplantla, Naucalpan and Atizapán.

In the latter municipality, Nahúm Abraham Sicairos Montalvo was arrested last July, known as "El Quinceañero" and identified as financial operative for Dámaso López Serrano, son of "El Licenciado" Dámaso López Núñez, also one of the strong men of the Sinaloa Cartel .

Founded 27 years ago, the Sinaloa Cartel has emerged as the most powerful drug trafficking organization in Mexico. But the capture of its leader, "El Chapo" Guzmán, has led to a stage of fragmentation and infighting, according to the authorities.

Control is now being disputed for by the children of "El Chapo", Iván and Alfredo Guzmán Salazar, known as "Los Chapitos"; Dámaso López Serrano, and the closest operative for Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada.

THE EXPANSION

The 2016 Atlas of Security and Defense of Mexico, prepared by the Collective of Security and Democracy Analysis (Casede), notes that in Mexico, six drug trafficking organizations were identified in 2006, and four years later that number increased to 10, according to international security specialist Bruce Bagley of the University of Miami. A 2014 report by the Attorney General's Office (PGR) registered a total of nine cartels that controlled 43 criminal gangs, operating throughout the country.

Although there is no consensus among security analysts, according to investigators Jonathan D. Rosen and Roberto Zepeda in the Atlas, "most agree on identifying at least 13 that have enough resources to fight for territory with violence."

But these figures seem conservative compared to a July 2017 analysis of the organization Cause in Common, which warns of the expansion of drug trafficking only in the State of Mexico and the capital.

Cause in Common reveals that in May 2014 there were nine criminal organizations operating in 81 of the 125 municipalities of the State of Mexico, and in Mexico City the presence of organized crime was limited to some areas of the Iztapalapa, Cuauhtémoc, Gustavo A. Madero and Tláhuac.

Today, however, there are 14 criminal organizations operating in 96 of the municipalities of the State of Mexico, and 10 have presence in the 16 delegations of the country's capital.

"The most serious thing is that, in at least 70 of these municipalities and delegations, more than one criminal organization operates, which increases the likelihood of confrontations due to territorial struggle," Víctor Manuel Sánchez Valdés wrote in the analysis.

MUCD's Torres Landa attributes this fragmentation and expansion of criminal groups to the short-term policies of the federal, state and municipal governments.

In presenting the results of the National Survey on Perception of Public Safety in Mexico, which has been up for 10 years, he said that "there were more or less six or seven cartels that divided control of the country."

Now there are 400, so "it should not be surprising that the levels of violence grow and control of these groups becomes more complex," said Torres Landa.

      More likely they are regrouping at the shade of a good tree that has been covering their asses for a long time on el DEFE, alias "mexico city", imagine pinchis putones con sus laboutinis de suela roja y tacon vaquero meniando el cabùs en la Zona Rosaaadaas de la Cola, ay nonononooo, que horror!

    8. 1:54AM Tienes razon con lo que dices de los carteristas y eso salio en las decadas de los 60s, 70s. Pero creo que la mitad o asta la mayoria de carteristas en ese tiempo no eran capitalinos, o sea eran de provincia y se iban a vivir al DF. Y si, eran gandallas cuando visitaban otros estados de Mexico porque eran creidos igual que cualquier otro Mexicano creido cuando se comparan con centroamericanos. Lo de mas que dices es verda de todos los Mexicanos. Disculpa por mis palabras no eran para usted son para el adefesio de sol.

      Are you trolling for a reaction or are you serious? I noticed you only assert and never attempt to add any seriouness by urging your points. I once investigated cross border scams involving Canadian scammers and had to take a course in cross cultural, multicultural, and within culture sudies in order to be aware of issues that might effect my interactions with others especially when it came to potential crimes coming from other countries. I only briefly dealt with Mexico in one investigation which was of a minor nature but out of curiosity and for personal enrichment I researched its criminal subculture of the last 80 years or so and I could tell you that what you assert of a certain region in Mexico is in stark contrast to what the facts are. You've bought into some of the myths that arise and diffuse like wildfire within cultures in order to cover for shortcomings. It's quite sad that you readily accept it and enshrine it with hate.

    12. @ 8:48 Your studying doesn’t compare to actually having lived throughout Mexico. And random Mexicans throughout the world won’t repeat the same things just to repeat them. - Sol Prendido

      It's glaringly obvious you don't know how to formulate an argument to urge a point. What are you trying to do with your first sentence? I actually have lived in Mexico in different states including Mexico City but that's irrelevant. Your second sentence is false. Yes, Mexicans, and that goes for humans in general, will repeat the same things over and over just to repeat them. It's how cultural items - regardless of truthfulness - spread within cultures and sometimes difusse to others. Simple parroting doesn't make things true.

      Delete
    14. @ 9:38 Put my words to the test. Ask any Mexican anywhere but El D.F. what they think of chilangos. And the majority will either make an ugly face about that subject. Or they’re gonna say something negative about them. That’s just a simple fact. Worldwide. - Sol Prendido

      You've been refuted so now you scramble and resort, once again, to mere rumor, "I here this", "I've heard that", "go ask them". No, Sol, I'm asking you, be a man and substantiate yourself. You do your own work like I have. I've been in Mexico for various amounts of time in the 70s, 80s, 90s, and I've heard the original phrase about chilangos and asked more Mexicans than you will ever. It's not taken so serious as you have taken it and what I've heard from them squares perfectly with my research and not your claims. The other comments in this thread about chilangos are more or less in jest and mirror my research and what I've heard from Mexicans but none rise to the level of raw hatred the you revel in. You're incapable of defending your stance with any semblance of rationality let alone cogency and base your belief, and HATRED, not on your personal experience or research - evidenced by what you've written here - but simply on what you allege to have heard. Mexicans call that, and I've asked them, "vieja chismosa".

      Thank you BB staff for allowing my comments. Sol could have the last word.

  4. Complex is a real complex word, it complicates things unnecessarily.
    Gorgoglio who should know a thing or two after surviving the military junta in argentina, said he expected mexico would not be "colombianized".
    --Cele Castillo said he hoped Iraq would not become "el salvadoranized" when he became aware of the involvement of lt col James Steele as a private contractor there, courtesy of general David Petraeus who as a young lieutenant became impressed by Steele's murdering ways in el Salvador which cost Steele his career in the US military for Human rights abuses, mass murdering and genocide, pattern constantly repeated in Irak, long after the "mission was Accomplished".
    Cele Castillo, "Powder Burns"
    --but shit has been going on since the US and the European powers that be decided to divide the Balkans into many cartels all with their own country to fight for, and they fought, as the Balkan Wars show.
    Mexico is getting divided by all the Rats in power, or behind the powers of the thrones of every little cartel, all looking for their own whole apple pie.
    Since kiki Camarena got kidnapped, tortured and murdered in 1985 to 2017 it is 32 years of "sinaloan cartels" who used to be guadalajara cartel, all sinaloans, who had been at it since the early 60s and even before, when sinaloan beauty queen Kenya Kemmermand Bastidas married the nephew of Sam Giancanna, "momo" in 1958 (she was murdered in 1960)
    You can track the involvement in mexican crime and drug cartels to the espionage conducted in mexico since WWII started to take shape, germany, russia and the US participated with artistic world, argentinians and police and military involvement, and politicians for the icing, and remember specially that by 1985 reaganism had LatinAmerica burning all over the place with Operation Condor flagrant involvement, but there is the origins in win scott's presence in mexico and his creation of the DFS for the CIA, THE INTELECTUAL MURDERERS OF KIKI CAMARENA, FOR DOING HIS JOB AS A DEA AGENT.
