BLO: Clara Elena From Beauty Queen to Organized Crime Leader

Chivis Martinez Borderland Beat from La Silla Rota

When everyone thought that the Beltrán Lyeva Organization would fracture into criminal cells, a woman took over command.




Four brothers, Arturo “El Barbas”, Hector “El Ingeniero”, Alfredo “El Mochomo” and Carlos created the organization known as BLO.  BLO was an important organization within the “Federation”, an umbrella formed by several cartels and led by El Chapo,  El Mayo Zambada, Juan Jose Esparragoza Moreno “El Azul” and Ignacio “Nacho” Coronel.

However, the arrest of “El Mochomo” in Culiacán, Sinaloa in 2008, caused the split by BLO from the federation.  The dispute was with El Chapo, who they accused of delivering Mochomo to federal authorities.

The war against El Chapo, as well as the persecution of federal authorities, caused the decline of BLO.

“El Barbas” was killed in 2009 by federal forces in Cuernavaca, Morelos; Carlos was captured that same year in Culiacán Sinaloa; followed by Hector in 2014 in Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato.

When everyone thought the cartel was finished and would fracture into criminal cells, a woman took over command.

It was the wife of Hector, Clara Elena Laborin Archuleta. Clara was born in Agua Prieta, Sonora on February 19, 1964.

Before marrying Hector, she was crowned as the most beautiful in her state, winning the “Miss Sonora” contest.

In the nineties, she joined forces with former television host,  Guillermo Ochoa, arrested in 2010 for money laundering.

With Ocana’s help, Clara made powerful contacts, including diplomats, artists and society people.
Within the world of entertainment, Clara made a name for herself in both Mexico and Spain.

She accumulated a fortune which caught the attention of the U.S. Treasury Department who concluded she was laundering money for BLO.

The following year, in 2010, she was abducted outside her home in Hermosillo, Sonora.  Thirteen days later she was left lying near the University of Sonora, with hands and feet bound, blindfolded and with a  message.

[Message reads: "We are going to teach you how to be a man and to respect family, murderer of children. Here is your wife, which you refused to answer for. I hand her back to you healthy and safe so you can see and learn that for us family is sacred. We do not kill women or children, we are only going after `El Hache´ and `El Dos Mil,´ as well as several police officers working for Hector Beltran Leyva and Francisco Hernandez Garcia."

The kidnapping was attributed to the Sinaloa Cartel, in revenge for the murder of Alejandro Coronel 16, the son of capo Ignacio Coronel.

Clara did not want to be an “adornment” as typically how capos use women, she always was involved in the business.

In 2014, “La Señora” took the reins of the cartel.

The gangs connected to the cartel respected her, including Isidro Meza Flores, aka “El Chapito Isidro”, [left] who currently heads the Meza Flores organization and is a high standing member of BLO.  He is in an ongoing territorial dispute with Sinaloa Cartel, especially “Los Chapitos”.

The only faction that interposed her power was the Independent Cartel of Acapulco [CIDA] that operates in Guerrero.  She managed to keep BLO operations going in Morelos, Chiapas, Querétaro, Sinaloa Jalisco, Quintana Roo, Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon and the State of Mexico.

 She strengthens alliances with other groups with the common enemy, Sinaloa Cartel, like Los Zetas, CJNG, and Cartel de Juárez.

The reign of  “La Señora” lasted only two years, when she was arrested on September 16. 2016.

    2. I was wondering why her hair was styled in the early 1900s period. I think it is an actreds. It must be for a telenovela or something.

    5. Mencho doesnt own Tijuana where is everyone getting this information? CJNG has a very small presence but does not control the plaza. I have been following the local crime beat there and right now its a war no one owns it.This blog can be full of disinformation.

    You guys see this yet? I find it a tad too convenient that mex police found someone so quickly with a pistol...the holes in that border patrol car look too big for a pistol.

    1. I agree, they find the “suspect” so quickly when the victim is a fucking gringo but the border cities have to many murders no one gets arrested when a Mexican dies

  7. What a beautiful woman. To be that pretty and be at the top of a cartel she must have been either a genius or one mean lady who you don't want to double cross. Im guessing the latter.

  8. She is my father's second cousin...I've never met her, but my Pops knew her well. Very pretty when young, always a gold digger, and very manipulative....very ambitious. Now, not so much.

  9. Nachito Coronel les enseñio a los Beltranes lo que es ser derecho y de valores. Un gallaso de primera, pocos como el.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Nacho Coronel si era un hombre de ley no chingaderas. Hombre de huevos pa los negocios y que si respetaba reglas, no como otros tlacuaches. Lástima que el quien es más hombre siempre muere a tracción.

    Saludos desde las avenidas 602.

  11. Doesn’t anyone know What ever happened to the guy That is friends with mochomo on here? I know he and mochomo seemed really tight this was recent (last year or so)

    1. He was Mochomo's cellie. Verified by alfredo's atty. Well "J" was released and he and his wife visited mochomo each sunday. they became close friends. and friends with Alfredo's wife. there were only 5 approved people on the visiting list. "J" visited family in sinaloa, we kept in contact a little while after alfredo's conviction. But we lost touch. I wanted to do a follow up story on alfredo's appeal so I reached out to "J" a couple months ago. but no reply. I will try texting or calling him again, as I would like to do the story.

      he did not know who alfredo was until alfredo asked him to buy a book I think the last narco, and when "J" thumbed through it he saw a foto of mochomo.

      I believe "J" was sincere in his friendship with alfredo and alfredo to him.
