Family contends Navy arrested a vegetable vendor after confusing him with "El Mayo Zambada"

Char for Borderland Beat republished from Cafe Negro-El Portal Politico de Sinaloa


Culiacán, Sinaloa.- The special group of the Mexican Navy that killed four assassins during a confrontation outside a party hall in La Limita de Itaje, was looking for Ismael El Mayo Zambada, leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, and during the operation arrested a merchant, who was  confused with the alleged drug trafficker.

Relatives of Antonio Valenzuela Iribe, 70, who is one of the two detained by the Navy, reported that the arrest of the merchant was illegal, and that during the operation the sailors also simulated executing at least 10 young people who were in the party ordering them to say where the "M" (Mayo Zambada) was and where the weapons were hidden.

"The sailors grabbed my grandfather and put a hat on him and compared it to a photo. Then a sailor approaches me and says: what's that man's name?  I say: Antonio Valenzuela, why? And he tells me: he is not called that. And I answer again and I say: Who are you confusing with? And he says: “we're not confusing him, it's Mr. Mayo Zambada."
They said that after the confrontation outside, the sailors broke in and violently forced all the men to lie on the floor for four hours, and that they were stripped of money and jewels.

They said that during the deployment, registered between Tuesday night the 30th and the morning of January 31, Antonio Valenzuela was at his table, inside the party room, when he was arrested, and not outside when the shooting occurred.

"My family member was interrogated, and it turned out they determined that my grandfather was Mr. Mayo Zambada, which is a lie."

They contend that sailors planted an AK-47 assault rifle and an AR-15 rifle, as well as cartridges, in the vehicle that Antonio Valenzuela had parked outside the party room, and that was the pretext to stop him. They said they did the same with the other detainee, who was also inside the room and they planted a tactical vest with cartridges.

They assured that the white Hyundai vehicle of the merchant was transferred by the sailors to the facilities of the delegation of the Attorney General's Office, before the experts arrived who reviewed the units that were hit by bullets during the confrontation.

The family of Antonio Valenzuela denied knowing the four young people killed by the Navy and had no knowledge if they were escorts of any of the people who were at the party. They also denied having a relationship with El Mayo Zambada.

The official version issued by the Secretariat of Public Security of Sinaloa on the fact indicates that the elements of the Navy carried out a patrol in the area of ​​La Limita de Itaje, when they were met with gunfire, when they repelled the aggression, they killed the four alleged gunmen identified as Manuel Filiberto Tapia Arellano, José Saúl Félix, Daniel Armando Serrano, and José Alonso Angle Castañeda.

The SSP also reported the securing of six long guns and four pistols, as well as cartridges and the arrest of Héctor Román, and don Antonio, originally from Tamazula, Durango.

As for the execution simulations, the relatives said the sailors were choosing and taking the young people out for interrogation.

"I heard that they saw one and said: you, come; and they stopped him and asked him questions first, I do not know what kind of questions. And to make them afraid they fired gunshots. Doing that to terrify them, because according to them (the sailors), at the party was El Mayo and that those who were there were from his cartel.  My family has no ties to him."

They explained that Don Antonio Valenzuela was first put at the disposal of the Public Ministry accused of belonging to organized crime, but that this crime was already rejected by the federal authorities and that now he only faces charges for carrying a firearm exclusively for the Army.

Family members said that at age 70, Mr. Antonio continues to work honestly and has never had problems with any authority. 

"My grandfather is a merchant. He works hard every day from 6 am. He goes to Los Mochis, Guasave, or places here near Culiacán to buy fruit or vegetables in season; loads his  double wheeled truck and returns home,  and sells to all the nearby colonies or small towns. A job where he does not earn much but it is honest labor. That's why what happened is so painful. He is a hardworking person who has worked his ass off all his life and who is an innocent but was arrested and detained anyway."

  1. I hadn't heard anything about El Mayo in so long that I thought they had given up searching for him.

  2. Would anyone mind telling me what the title "El Mayo" means and how he got it? I know "El Chapo" means "The Short Man", and "El Azul" means "The Blue", but I've never heard what Zambada's alias means.

    3. The name "Mayo" is not "Ismael" abriveated but appears to be a diminutive. More likely just a nick unrelated to his name.

    1. Wow your dillussional. While el mayo is the most succesful mexican capo since he never got locked up i dont think no sane criminal wld give his son or brother up. They got cought. And escobar was way more powerful than any mexican counterpart and he took orders from the Ochoas.

      Delete
    2. I hate when people compare to pablo Escobar, no one will ever be as powerful it doesn’t matter if pablo received orders from the Ochoa’s.. the point is that pablo fought for a cause and it was extradition he made a hole country knee to him at one point, other narcos in the world will never come near his power and dominance, what is Mayo, chapo and mencho fighting??? Turfs that’s it in there own states. Pablo controlled a hole country! So when one of these fellas control Mexico then yes! that be the day they be as powerful as Escobar ones was

    8. Escobar exported only cocaine. Mauo Zambada exports cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, fentalin, marijuana, mdma all over the world.
      The US now consumes much more drugs than it did in the 1980s.
      Colombia and Mexico are different countries.
      The share of the Sinaloa cartel in the best years is 70% in the US.
      The share of the medellin cartel best years is 85-90% cocaine in the US.
      Zambada and Chapo are richer than Pablo Escobar.

      Delete
    9. 9:58 - People that argue Chapo, Mayo, or Mencho has more money than Escobar did definitely aren't taking inflation into account. a billion dollars in the 1980's was worth far more than a billion dollars today.. Pablo Escobar set the bar to high. It was a huge wake up call to the world and it is highly unlikely the world community would ever let a single player or Trans National Organization get that powerful again.

  18. Put a hat on a hundred farmers in the Sierra and they will look like Mayo... this is probably just a refresher for the public, that he is still being hunted.

  19. Pendejos. That WAS Mayo Zambada.

  20. Where is the unedited photo without his eyes blurred and why is this photo even public if the guy was mistaken identity?
