El Mayo, El Chapo Isidro and El Mencho, among the 14 capos that EPN hasnt managed to detain

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

Subject Matter: Capos, EPN
Recommendation: No prior subject matter knowledge required


Reporter: Carlos Alvarez
Its exactly a year until the end of the administration of President Enrique Pena Nieto, his Government has captured 108 of the 122 priority objectives, alleged criminals that were on the list and considered highly dangerous and the principal generators of violence in the country, among them Ismael Zambada Garcia, alias El Mayo.

Today they form part of the structure of six narco trafficking cartels, two bands of kidnappers, one chief of person traffickers, and whom the Government have offered rewards that go between 10 to 30 million pesos for information leading to their location or capture.

Between the alleged criminals most sought after that have been detained or taken down during the present administration are: Joaquin Archivaldo Guzman Loera, alias El Chapo, ex leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, and Vincente Carrillo Fuentes, alias El Viceroy, ex leader of the Juarez Cartel.

Others detained or taken down are: Luis Fernando Sanchez Arellano, alias El Ingeniero, ex leader of the Tijuana Cartel, as well as Hector Beltran Leyva, El H, of the Beltran Leyva Organization; Miguel Trevino Morales, El Z-40, of Los Zetas; and Nazario Moreno Gonzalez, El Chayo, of the Knight Templars.





Also Gonzalo Inzunza Inzunza, alias El Macho Prieto, of the Sinaloa Cartel; Pablo Jaime Castrejon, La Marrana" of La Familia Michoacan; and Dioniso Loya Plancarte, El Tio of the Knights Templar.



Also Mario Armando Ramirez Trevino, El X-20, of the Cartel del Golfo, the Sinoalense Juan Jose Esparragoza Monzon, El Negro; and Francisco Javier Hernandez Garcia, El Panchito, member of the Beltran Leyva Organization, who arranged an alliance with Los Zetas to confront other criminal organizations.



Also the detention of Damaso Lopez Nunez, alias El Licenciado, and Damaso Lopez Serrano, El Mini Lic, father and son that disputed control of the Sinaloa Cartel with the sons of El Chapo, the brothers Guzman Salazar; Jesus Alfredo and Ivan Archivaldo.

Of the recent capture of Samuel Lizarraga Ontiveros, alias El Tortillero, alleged leader of Los Mazatlecos, among other capos, but not El Mayo Zambada.

Those they have failed to detain

The arrests during the administration of Pena Nieto have been greater than the 25 of the 37 proposed by the previous government, that of Felipe de Jesus Calderon Hinojosa, who were apprehended by the Federal or Armed Forces.

However, the arrest of the other capos, assassins or financial operators of the cartels is still lacking. Among them, from the Sinaloa Cartel, Ismael El Mayo Zambada, alias El Mayo, or that of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, alias El Mencho of the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion.

Or that of Juan Jose Esparragoza Moreno, El Azul, who although it is speculated that he died in a traffic accident, is still being sought by the Federal Government, and that of Rafael Caro Quintero, founder of the Guadalajara Cartel, who is now considered a leader of the Sinaloa Cartel by the DEA.

Or the arrest of Jose Antonio Cueto Lopez, former public functionary, who witnesses of the so called "Operation Cleanliness" identify as the key man in the case of bribes to the PGR by the Beltran Leyva Organization.

Jose Antonio Cueto Lopez

Also missing is the arrest of Fausto Isidro Meza Flores, alias El Chapo Isidro, another alleged leader of Los Mazatlecos, a criminal cell formed out of the split of the Beltran Leyva Organization with the Sinaloa Cartel.

Or the arrest of Juan Pablo Ledezma, alias El JL, who after the arrest of El Viceroy, assumed control of the Juarez Cartel. Or that of Juan Pablo Guijarro Fragosa, El Monico, the main leader of the border Cartel cell La Linea, in charge of the Chihuahua plaza.

Juan Pablo Guijarro Fragosa, El Monico
Or the arrest of Homero Cardenas Guillen, alias El Orejon, alleged leader of the Gulf Cartel, who it was speculated that he was betrayed and executed in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, although his death has not yet been confirmed.

Maxiley Barahona Nadales, alias El Contador, from Los Zetas, in charge of the Veracruz plaza, and allegedly responsible for massacres, murders, kidnappings and grenade attacks on Police corporations.

  1. Why don't they ever list all of the remaining high profile targets?

    And wasn't there an updated list of ~70 high profile figures as of 2016?

  2. Always those paying bribes being the target. Those taking/demanding bribes are never the target!

    I just cannot imagine at all why that is!

    ReplyDelete
  3. 108 out of 122 is quite a success and since these 'targets' have been identified as the principal generators of violence we ought to see a much reduced level of violence.

    To all you folks out there in Mexico: has EPN strategy of getting the high priority targets reduced the violence markedly???

    1. It doesnt matter how many they imprison, if they are free to run their organizations inside prison. Which in any Mexican prison is a distinct possibility.
      The only imprisoned Narcos that cannot run anything are in ADX Florence.

    6. @8:13 no one from supermax even a mexican mafia member waas running anything from there. 3 levels & a 4th. low, medium & high then supermax admin. in supermax or admax you get nothing. u have know communicatuions with anyone. you dont even know what is happening in the outside world. if u get mags or newspapers they are heavily censored and cut to ribbons before you get them the mex mafia cat was not in admax but if he is now he has no contact under security management proceedures. there is a big difference from hig security to ADMAX. you are essentially done in admax, no contact, no talking with anyone, no seeing another inmate and very rarely a officer. you are contained to solitude and total isolation to drive you insane. It is what they call hell on earth once you are a management issue and put or sentence to ADX Florence ADMAX. The highest of all secure lockdown. your friends are the walls and floor. any communication if allowed is by video limited to 5 to 15 minutes maybe once a month if even that. you are done once in there you either die or go insane. fuck chapo.

  4. Were is the list of government officials? Governors, senators, military, police, mayors..? Has to be heartbreaking for honest mx officials of any branch that want to make a difference. These terrorist organizations are being fought with one arm. It's a shame how much there greed has torn the country apart. My respect for officials on both sides of the border who care and are trying to make a difference.

    1. As much as everyone wants this to be seen.
      Moreover, to be clearly evident and public.Doubt that such unwanted publicity for all political parties of government would be beneficial.
      Let’s not forget the backlash and possible fatal consequences for those exposing.

      Journalists are known to meet such fate in a country where they are considered problematic.

  6. I'm not sure this article is accurate. According to the Insight Crime article "Mexico Govt Refuses to Reveal Most Wanted List", El Azul, Juan Pablo Ledezma, Juan Pablo Guijarro and Maxiley Barahona Nadales were all removed from the list.

    1. If you are a top level Narco, you dont need to be on a list to know they are trying to find you, unless you are paying the correct amount of bribes, and even then, someone might decide to pay them more, so they always have at least one eye on the door.

      Delete
    2. My point was that if the article I mentioned was true, then some of the subjects listed in this article are no longer counted among the 122 priority targets.

      Of course, there has always been confusion surrounding the list, since the government prefers to keep it a secret.

    3. Meanwhile el chapito isidro walks freely around guasave, el naranjo and batamote you can see his convoys at parties and at gas stations. The other day he was eating at a carnitas stand and people were saying hi to him like he is a celebrity. I gues he is paying the right amount of bribes to walk freely like that.

    4. "The list" gets made up as catch catches with the catch can, by accident mostly.
      Some of those on the list were caught when fecal was the president, but enrique (are you lissenin, enrique?) Has kept them in prison, but hey, deadlines do not care mooch.

  7. EPN. Will not catch Mencho nor Zambada. Mencho And Cjng represent and are backed by the newier goverment fraction. And Zambada and Azul protected by the older government fractions. Each have there own power, money. But it's reaching a boiling point. Mexicos election year will be very violent for it could decide which cartel will be destroyed and suffocated.

  8. 3:01 because some of the profiles are secret. To not tip off the suspect. Or some times they don't even have a name or picture to go along with an alias. They don't wanna list they are looking for "el plebe desnutrido " when his alias is all they have.

    1. because the guys listed have international ties and are powerful, zambada mencho isidro all have people outside of their city, outside of their state Nd outside of the country working for them, they have power to make deals with government or to cause terror in some areas, el chavo felix el panu el nini theyre not at that level, yez they have money but the only people that see them as big timers are the people that listen to corridos yet in reality they have no big influence outside of their area theyre just in culiacan and surrounding pueblos and ranchos, theyre not traffickers theyre local sicarios that protect guys like the ones on the list and are more likely to get picked up and killed by another cartel.

      Delete
    2. the bosses on the list are the ones that get taken out when the government says their time is up and are personally untouchable by sicarios, if they die they die by the government.

      los ninis, el chavo felix, el panu, theyre replaceable, they are the ones that get killed by a local rival. and if they get killed in a shootout with government is because either they got gunned down while the governmemt tracked down their boss whos the main target not them, or because theyre being stupid and try to shoot at cops when pulled over amd cops shoot back. but yeah having a corrido doesnt make u powerful.

  10. Political change with an objective outcome in the end. What that outcome will be and for whom? Depends on the success of those remaining fugitives.
    We are all aware of the extent of drug trafficking within Mexican government. Past and present demonstrates the fortunes which have outweighed the moral issues causing misery and havoc globally.
    A billions of dollars organization supported by the appetites of those who consume. A consumption that will always exist worldwide.

    Like any corporation, monopoly is key for profits. All these apprehensions have an objective; Politically, economically and socially.

  13. They are hunted . They may be paying but they can never be secure about how effective their bribes are . There are hunters out there hunting them in various different ways . They are hunted in so many different ways they don't have a chance . Their only hope is to stay completely off the grid or get to a place nobody would ever look . Then when they make some kind of contact it could be it . Probably living way out past the electric lines . If they have generators they have to have fuel . There are people watching for any hint . Then they may be hiding in a city . That has its own perils . Living the life of a king . A very scared king I add . Wonder if Caro Quintero still does lots of coke . His cocaine induced paranoia led to the death of a lot on innocent people back in the day . These are very insane people . RCQ they may know where you are right now .

  15. The Golden Rule in narco trafficking: He who has the gold, rules. Looks like RCQ, Mayo & Mencho keep the printing presses going so in EPN’s tenure only look at Chapo as an ‘accomplishment’ if one wants to call it that. Might be interesting to see how his term ends; could there be a surprise catch somewhere near his departure? He needs to keep up some sort of accountablity especially with all the scandals he & his wife were involved in. He needs a bit more credibility before he splits office. My guess is he will ‘get’ RCQ and turn him over to the US. RCQ is the least between Mayo & Mencho and just enough to get a distraction for the rest of the Sinaloa boys. It would be nice they all drop together but one will suffice for now. The US vengeance right now is focused on RCQ so I gamble that is who falls. Mayo rules, Mencho wants to but the key to Fort Knox lays with Mayo. He who has the gold, rules.

    1. Interesting hypothesis I kind of agree & do think RCQ will tumble soon on behalf of narco peace and hands off capos. The Quintero hunt is bringing a lot of pressure on Mexico. You know our agents are ready but I think this time he will be executed to end the hunt. We don’t want him here in prison. We want him 6 feet under once and for all. If Mayito or Menchito send some clues I know the US will give whoever a heads up and lighten up on their hunt. You are right on one good point ——the golden rule!!! It’s always about who has more. El Chapo is the greatest example of this (rather was).

    2. Funny you mentuion that. The ruling party in Mexico just rammed through Congress a new law to give all military the rights to also act as police. The war is on, this will be EPN’s last legacy militarizing the country and now full armed conflict. Watch the violence surge now. The Marina’s and all the military were just granted their wish.

  16. El Mayo is probably dead. It's not like the cartels readily share these events. That man is so old and hiding in mountains. Or probably was dead before Chapo was caught or after for not helping. They cannot trust one another. Wouldn't be surprise if Chapo sons did it to run things. Every man for himself.

  20. A former henchman in the Sinaloa drug cartel now being held in Chicago is accusing Mexican and U.S. officials in a campaign of torture dating back to at least 2010.

    Attorneys for Jesus Raul Beltran-Leon, who is charged in the trafficking case against drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, have filed court papers that detail 16 cases in which drug suspects were allegedly tortured by members of the Mexican military who work with U.S. drug investigators. The court filing includes a photo of a female drug suspect allegedly being tortured by Mexican drug investigators.

    Beltran-Leon's lawyers on Thursday filed a motion in Chicago federal court asking the U.S. government to turn over evidence related to his "torture and psychological abuse while in the custody of Mexican authorities at the behest of the United States government."

    ReplyDelete
  21. Beltran-Leon says he was repeatedly tortured and humiliated by masked members of the Mexican Marines after being arrested in November of 2014. In an affidavit filed in federal court on Thursday, Beltran-Leon recounts how he was shocked with electrodes, subject to water torture and that his wife, baby daughter and mother were threatened with gang rape and murder. He said his "abductors held me down, placed plastic bags over my face, and began to asphyxiate me while others punched me in the abdomen, which forced the air in my lungs to expel faster."

    Beltran-Leon's attorneys say Mexican marines burst into his parents' home with guns drawn and seized him and his wife, along with his infant daughter. His captors are accused of threatening to rape his wife and kill his other family members.

    Beltran-Leon, 33 and a U.S. citizen, claims several English-speaking Americans were in the home during the raid.

    Details of other, similar torture cases were investigated and verified by the Mexican National Commission of Human Rights according to Beltran-Leon's attorneys. They maintain that U.S. investigators from the Drug Enforcement Administration were complicit in those cases as well and that the American government provides funding, vehicles, equipment and training to Marine members of the Mexican Navy known as SEMAR.

    Beltran-Leon's attorneys say he was forced to admit on a video that he loaded a plane with cocaine while one of El Chapo's sons, Jesus Alfredo Guzman Salazar, stacked the drugs in the plane and another son, Ivan Archivaldo Guzman Salazar, flew them from Culiacan to Chiapas, Mexico.

    While Beltran-Leon was blindfolded, a man speaking Spanish with an American accent questioned him about the whereabouts of the two sons, but Beltran-Leon replied he didn't know anything, according to his attorneys.

    The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the U.S. attorney's office in Chicago have declined comment.

    In January, he was extradited to Chicago to face charges in the 2009 indictment of El Chapo and his reputed lieutenants. That same month, El Chapo was extradited to New York where he faces a related drug case.

    Mexican marines captured El Chapo last year in the Sinaloa city of La Mochis. He was on the run after breaking out of prison in Mexico in 2014.

Many times it is not real DEA agents but private contractors and their hires or bounty hunters, the CIA alos used to do that since the end of WWII until they had to murder Kiki Camarena ease he found out about the CIA's abstruse shenanigans in mexico, then after a little while they went back like donkeys on the corn, but the DEA got primaried with CIA people at the top, vigilantes that have dragged the DEA's good reputation in the mud where nobody escapes without caca on their high heels all the way up to their eyeballs.
