(July
26, 2016)—Los Tequileros are an
organization that operate in the Tierra Caliente region in the state of
Guerrero. It has a hallmark of threating
and extorting mayors in the region, and they do it through an armed cell called
Fuerzas Especiales Tequileras.
Guerrero’s
District Attorney’s Office has identified Raybel Jacobo de Almonte “El
Tequilero”, as the leader of the criminal group that bears his nickname. There are 15 arrest warrants against him for crimes
such as: extortion, kidnapping, and homicide.
The criminal organization, Los Tequileros, emerged as one of
the armed wings of the Guerreros Unidos Cartel in northern Guerrero. It seeks to dispute the control of the Tierra
Caliente region with La Familia that borders the State of Mexico; La Familia is
supported by the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG).
La Familia, led by Johnny Hurtado
Olascoaga “El Pescado”, and Los Tequileros, led by Raybel Jacobo de Almonte “El
Tequilero”, are disputing for the control of the drug corridor that connects
the sierra and the Tierra Caliente region of Guerrero with Michoacán and the State
of Mexico.
San
Antonio de la Gavia, in the municipality of San Miguel Totolapan, is considered
to be the center of operations of Los Tequileros.

On
August 4, 2015, a video was circulated on YouTube where the then-elected mayor
of San Miguel Totolapan, Juan Mendoza Acosta, held a meeting with members of
Los Tequileros and while they were drinking alcoholic beverages, he expresses
support for this criminal group.
“Ponte verga, cocho, just like how we
made you win, prick, gives us your hand and it’s not worth it” a man tells the
mayor, the mayor answers: “When will I fail you? So tell me, when will I fail
you assholes?”
In
another part of the video they ask “are you going to work with us? You know you’re
with us, yes or no?” and he responds “We will! I will never work with other cochos” says Mendoza Acosta.
Juan Vargas Macedo “El Garfield” |
A
month later, on September 21, 2015, state police detained Juan Vargas Macedo “El
Garfield”, an alleged member of the Fuerzas
Especiales Tequileras criminal group.
Local authorities noted that the Fuerzas
Especiales Tequileras controlled part of the state’s Tierra Caliente region
and that they were linked with the Guerreros Unidos Cartel.
Juan
Vargas Macedo “El Garfield” was the right hand man of Raybel Jacobo de Almonte
“El Tequilero”.
The
leader of Los Tequileros is credited with the crime against former governing PAN
member of San Miguel Totolapan, María Félix Jaimes, who was kidnapped and
executed on June 16, 2014, along the road to Ajuchitlán.
She
had gunshot wounds on her head, along with her body was a message that said: “this
will happen to all who pass information to ‘El Pescado’.”
This
homicide was in response to the kidnapping and dismemberment of the PRI leader in San
Miguel Totolapan, Carlos Salanueva de la Cruz, who was found dismembered on
June 15, 2014, and who had amessage that read: “this will happen to all those
who support La FM (Familia Michoacana).
Atte. El Tequilero.”
An
armed commando entered the home of the councilor of San Miguel Totolapan,
Roberto García García (PRD member), and
executed him with three gunshots on November 3, 2015, a month after taking
office. The crime was also attributed to
Los Tequileros.
Los
Tequileros are attributed with the kidnapping of 21 men in the municipality of Arcelia
in January 2016. They are also
attributed with the armed attack in San Antonio la Gavia, with an outcome that
left two people dead.
Intelligence
reports indicate that Ambrosio Soto Duarte, the municipal president of Pungarabato,
maintained ties with criminal groups. He
was also murdered on July 23, 2016.
“He
(Ambrosio Soto Duarte) was detected at a meeting in the ranch of the so-called ‘JP',
‘Don José', ‘José Pineda', or ‘Rodolfo Maldonado Bustos', chief of drug
trafficking in the Tierra Caliente region of Guerrero, who would be staying in
a ranch in the municipality of San Lucas or Huetamo, Michoacán,” the report
says.
It
adds that “it is known that after the municipal elections, when the federal
electoral court confirmed its victory on July 31, 2015, Ambrosio Soto Duarte summoned
several mayors from the Tierra Caliente region of Guerrero in order to take
them with Johnny Hurtado Olascoaga, “El Pez” or “El Pescado”, leader of one of
the last cells of La Familia Michoacana.”
The
report states that “El Pescado” and “Alfredo Hurtado Olascoaga ‘El Fresa’, have
been committing kidnappings and shootouts against the criminal organization
known as Los Tequileros.”
The
expansion of Los Tequileros has also reached the municipalities of Arcelia, Ajuchitlán
del Progreso and Pungarabato, leaving its personal seal: the threat to
authorities.

Tequileros giving mencho a hard time lol this small cell its giving cjng trouble imagine a big cartel cjgn has no chance no wonder they left the chapitos free smh
ReplyDeleteCocho de guerro
Oh brother the pink ladys of mencho are gone come up hard on you because they love to cheerlead cjng n wount accept the true
DeleteMencho cany even control Jalsico or Puerto Vallarta. lol he aint no Chapo.
DeleteWhat you talking about chapo could never take any plazas...
DeleteChapo couldn't NEVER control sinaloa after the split with beltranes but at least mencho controls more of jalisco than chapo could ever control the name his cartel is named after lol
DeleteWhat a bunch of lowlife scum dirtballs. The cartels are getting to the bottom rung of the ladders for control. You can almost smell these skunks through the computer screen.
ReplyDeleteYea you right lol 😂
DeleteSeemingly that is true. You see their thug walks and pictures and it looks like they dress in alleys and gutters and bathe once a month. The bottom dwellers are moving up which makes it worse as they are without any feelings or remorse and rape and massacre babies and children at will.
DeleteLook at how these god damn political parties have their own different cartels backing them up. Looks like the lines are blurred between cartels and political parties in this region of Mexico. Typically they like to operate completely separately and like to pretend like they have nothing to do with each other, but this story is showing how cartels backing up one political party are kidnapping and murdering politicians from opposing parties. Crazy !!!
ReplyDeleteExactomundo!
Deleteguerrero pistoleros are no joke these dudes are ruthless
ReplyDeleteReally? I heard the same of every single one from else where. They all can day and burn in hell
DeleteIt's about to get super bloody in Tierra caliente, you got the craziest sicarios in the mix. La Familia Michoacana and cjng against guerreros unidos, it's obvious the GU will eat dust because they are not as deep as cjng and not even la familia. Tierra caliente is known for amapolas all over the sierra and law moicas who are with la familia are distributing alot of heroin all over California. Supply and demand now they want more because the gringos want more. Now they need more territory.. it's ganna get bloody because those cochos won't give up that easily, most likely they will ask for beltran leyva cartel to help them and more blood will shed.. terrible...
ReplyDeleteSinaloa supplies most of the west coast guy.
DeleteThat's right, that's militia 101, new alianzas pa' emparejarse and the saga continues.........
DeleteEx-comandante "Lil'Monster"
From what ive seen(and i could be wrong) is that CJNG is possibly funding guerreros unidos in alliance and going after Beltranes which were the most organized and connected especialy acapulco. Clara Laborin and all her guys have been going down big time. Someone is giving GU power and it could be mencho or someone else, whoever it is will probably betray GU once the deed is done.
DeleteSinaloa trafics way more
DeleteSinaloa does traffic more heroin but these guys are right behind them and are going in sinaloa market. Sinaloa is losing power,losing respect, and losing plazas. After chapo that cartel been going in a decline..
Delete4:39 sinaloa isnt chapo only get it thru your thick head. sinaloa is composed of many families. GENTE DE GUZMAN
Delete8:07 yea, composed of a lot of families who want the control for themselves now that chapo is locked up
DeleteThese guys look like amatuers!!
ReplyDeleteAll these carteles have Special Forces?
ReplyDeleteNot talking shit but come on with all these pathetic pistoleros.. back in the day zetas and a armed wing of sinaloa known as Los negros were really trained. . I did a little in the army I'm not here to brag or say I'm some team seal 6 but u can tell just my 2 cents.. oh ya Los acme and Los minions De sinaloa are some special ops group.. In Mexico all u need is a corrido and your special ops.. lmao I beat this idiots could boogy 2 miles in half pack.. There nothing but hit and run.. drive by type.. muy chingones.. give me a basic ar with vortex dimondback.. decent intel.. and I'd crawl to ur hide out and that was ur last day.. If not a high level person easy with intel.. High level you'd need a team of higher trained then myself but these idiots.. Each Pickens
ReplyDeleteWhen you have a group of guys willing to kill for money they're dangerous regardless of training. For christ sake, uneducated taliban and al queda in Afghanistan who some have never seen a television gives marines and seal teams trouble
DeleteThe Hurtados would put the hurt on you keyboard warrior.Those boys don't play homey.
Delete4:43 I hope you have not been trained to carefully avoid high value targets, but I see how you are much too preoccupied with these "idiot each pickens"
DeleteI agree with you... These dumb fucks probably can't even hit a target at point blank range smh
Delete5:35 that is not the case. who do you think its more dangerous. 100 paid pistoleros. or 40 pistoleros that were born brave and all they do is kille and defend themselves. or when they have family killed.? unos nacieron con huevos y los otros son comprado con dinero.???? no hay dinero y se acabaron los huevos. GENTE DE GUZMAN
DeleteIt's clear to say the tequileros are desperate and scared that the mayors are cooperating with La familia. They know it's a matter of time before they take their territory, specially now that cjng is in the mix.. this small cell is not going to last.. that's how it is, big fish eats the small fish...
ReplyDeleteExactly. The biggest little fish is scared, and he should be, because a killer whale just entered the waters. El Nemesis-
DeleteObviously you ain't street or military minded....
DeleteSpider Loc
With all due respect Spider Loc, it seems like CJNG has entered this Plaza like they have most others, military minded. El Nemesis-
DeleteSpider loc. I'm a vet in the streets and in the Army so what you s2ay is ridiculous as your name. You are defenetly not street smart if you feel diferently!
DeleteSpecial forces is just a marketing technique to appeal to the young and gulable. IMO Mencho has the best cell to defend himself with if they got him out of safety when a state wide manhunt for him was issued that just says how much those guys are trained in that kind of work but hey who knows
ReplyDelete5"24 who needs to have military background to do the right thing?
Delete--Uncle HO CHI MINH was a cook in a french ship before he went banging the frogs.
--Lenin was an exhiled revolution theoretician communist
--stalin was a communist bank robbing squad leader that never could pile up three rubles together, but he escaped from siberia about 3 times en puros calzones, and he stole the rusian revolution all by himself for lemming, his training in the seminary made him the sociopath he was.
--hitler was a house painter and before that was a corporal in the hospital, crying over being gassed.
--el che guevara was a doctor, and fidel castro was a lawyer.
--mao tse tung was a normal rura graduate, bent on nationalist self reliance, helped uncle ho defeat the french in vietnam, and made them cry and run home to their mammas, helped HO to beat the US and the best of the best they threw at them.
--los tequileros are the only narcs doing the right thing, going after the politicians, before they betray them once more, but they fack up too often killing the women, only la mencha does some of that once in a while.
Los Tequilleros are a splinter group from LFM. El Tequillero was the subordinate of El Pez in La Familia, controlling the plaza in San Miguel Totolapan, Arcelia, Ciudad Altamirano and the sierras between these towns. However, Tequillero decided to branch out on his own and dispute the control of El Pez in thes plazas. According to an interview with the fiscal general de Guerrero in El Finaciero, Los Tequilleros is a group of about 40 sicarios dedicated primarily to extortion and kidnapping.

I believe these guys just kidnapped a dozen people over the long weekend in Guerrero and ransom demands are going out.
ReplyDeletePlata o plomo...México is the old West no law to protect..the people...
ReplyDelete6:32 the LAW, unspoken and unwritten is save the government's ass and save the institutions, and if it includes saving corruption and kickbacks and "los señores" ass...
DeleteSo be it...
--Guerrero governor astudillo says "we have all the guerrero gangs located and identified" but he ain't arresting them...
--aristegui got some guys trespassign into her offices and stealing computers and files while she is getting some prize for journalism, lucky her, she might have been murdered if they find her there...

ReplyDeleteapparently, it only takes an armed commando
ReplyDeleteof at least 60 sicarios in 15 4x4's- fords and
chevy's and toyotas and whatever.....to become
someone out of nowhere.
if you got drugs and guns always on the ready for
your army of sicarios/as, then they will always
come back for more.
it doesn't seem like it would be that hard to create
and maintain a feared cartel with clout. Im a
businessman and it should be run as such. a business.
