Mexico City, Jul 14
(AFP) Mexican authorities seized USD 11.5 million in cash hidden in a truck
carrying strawberries at a customs checkpoint near the US border, officials
said today.
The stash was concealed
in 306 packages wrapped with black plastic, at a checkpoint just south of the
city of Sonoyta, Sonora. Sonoyta is 2.5
miles south of the US border and Lukeville, Arizona.
This occurred on Sunday
although it was not reported to the public until Tuesday. The discovery was
made after a gamma-ray scanner found "a variation" in the cargo, said
the defense ministry in a statement.
Some 30 boxes of ammunitions,
in various caliber, were also found in the truck.
The statement did not
say whether the truck was coming from or going to the United States. The driver
was handed over to prosecutors.
Drug cartels regularly
ship weapons and cash from their drug proceeds into Mexico from the United
States.

DeleteSargento! Sargento! Mira! Cuarenta millones de dolares en efectivo!
ReplyDeleteCapitan buena noticias encuento triente cinco milliones de dolares
Comandante que milagro los estribadores saca viente milliones de dollars
La prensa! Tenemos once milliones de dolares en efectico.
buen chiste pero muy sierto al ultimo solo son unos cuanto pesos jaja
DeleteNow that is some funny shit bro. So true !
Deleteit was not announced until after everyone took some out for their own personal benefit
ReplyDeleteJajaja...do doubt.
DeleteI wanted to write
"This occurred on Sunday, although it was not reported to the public until Tuesday, so they had time to divide the other 10M"
That was probably meant for the guys who dug chapos tunnel and helped him get out!
ReplyDeleteChapo making money already, now hes going to be pissed for the seizure
ReplyDeleteYou know damn well it was the even 12...or 15!! Hahaha
ReplyDeleteHaha "11.5" meanwhile in the next few days some of those cops that took it are found dead, the killers? Other greedy cops loool
ReplyDeleteWe need to know much more about this big event.
ReplyDeleteIt is vital to know which way the truck was headed and who ended up with the $$$$$.
Mexico -Watcher
I am pretty sure it was heading sout.
DeleteEl dinero hera propiedad de los Beltran Leyva. El destino era el temible sacamielda.
ReplyDeleteThat's the way Chapo pays for all they do for him in the Mexican/USA side
ReplyDeleteChapo must 'a dropped his wallet...
ReplyDeleteLMFAO!!!
DeleteAfter about a.year and a half, el chapo is very well trained in picking up the soap, I mean his wallet, so this means these millions belong to some other billionaire drug trafficking drug lord without connections to big US money laundering banks, or...
DeleteMaybe the dollar bills are "marked!" Ha! But, by whom??
DeleteThis was money and bullets to finance the war against Los memos for betraying chapo
ReplyDeleteThere isn't a million in the picture if those are all $20. But I'm sure there's more cash elsewhere other than the pic huh
ReplyDeleteChapo escape cost 50 million that was what last of the 50 million more than 30 for the USA and a little over 11 for Mexico, who are they trying to bullshit
ReplyDeletethere may have been more... much more so someone has had a great payday and someone else is very pissed and an innocent family are soon gonna die because the driver did not deliver the goods... tis the way things are done in Mexico.
ReplyDeleteChapo paying his government tax on time as usual
ReplyDeleteChapo's money!.. Cnt catch him!.. So they hitting his pockets!.. Use common sense!.. JaJaJa
ReplyDeleteThey should take all that money and give it to the pobres in rural country. Make it rain, baby!!! Think that will ever happen???
ReplyDeleteNit picking maybe, but Sonoyta is directly on the border. The stop may have been south on Rt. 2 toward Caborca (most probable route) or 8 toward Penasco. There is frequently a military stop on 2 and lots of attention through Sonoyta with the heated up plaza there.
ReplyDeleteMust have crossed to the West so I bet US officials are pissed they did not get to confiscate the ca$h !!
The major aduana check point is just a little south of Sonyta. We have been hassled there many times, and the one south of Mazatlan. It was always some drugged out/ Drunk PGR. Hence not much tourism anymore.
DeleteMost likely this cash money and ammunitions came from United States. On its way to sonora or sinaloa, switched trucks so it won't look suspicious.
ReplyDelete@5:31 PM.. sounds like a real possibility, so who's out the $ ?
DeleteChapos pay..
ReplyDeleteThis doesn't look like a truck , check point or police station is it textile warhorse
ReplyDeleteEl centenario is back in business
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what I was gonna say, chapo returning the favor..
ReplyDeleteOne truck caught, the other 9 made it through. LMAO. Are there any fools left who think the War on Drugs stops anything.
ReplyDelete@7:15 PM.. The "war on drugs" is part of the narcos' challenge and thrill, scoring in the face of authority that is "owned," playing "cat and mouse."...Control the drugs, control the politics...
DeletePRI just getting there payoff from Chapo. LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Chapo is back out. Now business will get back to some order. If the Mexican people were smart they'd elect him President and tell the US to F off on this war on drugs. The United States drug use has torn Mexico apart. Tell the US to fight the war on their soil.
ReplyDeleteAnd now Mexicos drug use is tearing it apart further.
DeleteI am uncertain about the photo also. It was with PTI and prob is archive. I did not see it in Mexican media. Just a couple of maps.
ReplyDeleteThe photo is reportedly from a press conference given by SEDEN, and was published by several Mexican news outlets, although I'm not certain it's not archival. http://www.excelsior.com.mx/nacional/2015/07/14/1034625
DeleteChapo just cut some ones shipment let's see what happens next I think Los Salazar will stay with the plaza
ReplyDeleteSonoyta is a dusty old border town in the sonoran desert that has long been controlled by CDS.. CDS controls all of the border towns west of Juarez ..You never hear that this much money or this much weight is being pushed through the tamaulipas and golfos plazas.. those guys are straight trash... and As much as the cheerleaders of the linias, CDJ, and flechas hate to admit it, El Chapo controls Juarez, I wouldn't be surprised that the aztekas are busy looking for gente nueva members in Juarez not knowing that Gente Nueva is busy running their drugs underground and across the border. How is it then that most of all drug seizures in El Paso are Chapo's?
ReplyDeletedont look 15 million to me even if they were 100 dollar bills
ReplyDeleteThe total amount was $15.2 mil. We will be looking for the pendejos who took them and they will suffer.
ReplyDelete'Well Donald, what have you got to say about the missing millions from this stack?'
