'El Charly', Former Gulf Cartel Boss in Monterrey, Sentenced to 69 Years in Prison

 "MX" for Borderland Beat

Juan Carlos Ovalle Landeros (alias El Charly) was one of the top Gulf Cartel members in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, in the early 2010s.

Juan Carlos Ovalle Landeros (alias El Charly), former regional boss of the Gulf Cartel in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, was sentenced to 69 years in prison. He was found guilty of organized crime involvement, illegal possession of firearms, kidnapping for ransom, and drug trafficking. His brother Cesar Humberto was sentenced to 74 years for the same charges.


El Charly was the plaza boss of Monterrey in the early 2010s. He was arrested in October 2012 by the Mexican Federal Police in San Nicolás de los Garza, a suburb of the Monterrey metropolitan area. When he was arrested, the police discovered that El Charly had two people captive at the house where he was hiding.


Authorities said that El Charly was responsible for arranging the payroll of members of the Gulf Cartel, including some local officials who helped the cartel in the municipalities in the Monterrey metropolitan area, including: San Nicolas de los Garza, General Escobedo, Apodaca, San Pedro Garza García, and Guadalupe.


He also reported to David Rosales Guzman (alias Comandante Diablo), the former head of the Gulf Cartel in Nuevo Leon. Many of the kidnappings and murders committed by Comandante Diablo's faction are also attributed to El Charly.


One of the most notable crimes attributed to El Charly occurred in 2011, when local television comedian Jose Luis Cerda Melendez (alias La Gata) was abducted and killed in Monterrey.


Mugshots of El Charly and his brother Cesar Humberto in 2012. Their brothers Cesar Humberto, Rodolfo (alias El Gordo / El Oso) and Jose Angel (alias El Calilla) were also involved with the cartel. All of them were arrested.


His body was dumped along with his cousin Juan Roberto Gomez and an independent cameraman from Coahuila, Luis Emmanuel Ruiz Carrillo. Investigators say that La Gata was a former drug addict that was involved in social work but that the Gulf Cartel believed had ties with Los Zetas.


Other notable crimes that El Charly was involved in:


• August 8, 2012 - The murder of two men who were hanged from a pedestrian bridge between the limits of Monterrey and San Nicolás de Los Garza, Nuevo León.


• August 8, 2012 - The murder of three people who were in a taxi outside the "Makiavelo" bar in Monterrey.

    2. 6:57 - they don’t. Mexican cartels have the biggest market just around the corner and a larger domestic one (Mexico). Italians are intermediaries now. They don’t control the whole supply chain.

    7. Simeon "simian" Mogilevich is not Italian, he was removed from the FBIs list mainly because there's no extradition treaty with Russia.

      Italians have been nothing but hype ever since they entered recent popular lore with the publication of the novel The Godfather in 1969.

    9. The italian Ndrangheta are Rich but very limited by members and and mostly family related and this is their Achilles heel! Also its the ndrangheta are the ones who needs the cartels much more! With the fire power and unlimited members the cartels like Sinaloa And CJNG have...russians,italians and others seems like a easy targets for them!

  5. I remember la Gata. The guy sold drugs before he went clean. Some say he knew lots of Zetas and still supplied drugs to Monterrey’s “farándula”(celebrity circle). Similar to Paco Stanley who was murdered in the 90s. That was also drug related.
