Elements of the Criminal Investigation Agency, as well as the Army and the Marines detained in Mexico City, six alleged members of the Sinaloa Cartel that operated under the orders of Damaso Lopez Serrano, El Mini Lic, son of the leader of the above mentioned criminal Damaso Lopez Nunez, El Licenciado, detained in the capital this past week.
In the first operation carried out in the Tlaltenco Colonia in Tlahuac, they captured Benigno Gastelum Sandoval, El Beni, originally from Culiacan, Sinaloa, who, according to investigations carried out by the AIC of the PGR, arrived in April to Mexico City and proceeded to Eldorado to work as drive and personal assistant of Mini Lic.
In the second action carried out in the Jardines del Sur Colonia, in the Xochimilco delegation, the Federal Agents detained 5 persons identified as Ramon Arrellanes Almazan, Juan Enrique Rodriguez Acosta, Trinidad Francisco and Jesus Alejandro Garcia Parra, all originally from Sinaloa and Jorge Tovar Calleros, El Guero or El Ingeniero from Jalisco, that are alleged to be in charge of the security for Mini Lic.
In both operations they confiscated two rifles, two sidearms, 160 rounds of different calibers, two grenades, a grenade launcher, eight magazines, tactical equipment, a kilogram of white powder, presumably cocaine, 600 grams of a substance with the characteristics of meth-amphetamines, 148 doses of crystal, 100 pills presumably psycho-tropic, three vehicles and eight pieces of radio equipment.
Original article in Spanish at Milenio
I often wonder why seizure of computers/smart phones are omitted from the seizure list nevermind the dough. Does this mean the thugs are not tech savy or is it an oversight. In raids on ISSIS seizure of computers, etc. is considered the 'motherload'. Why not here? Thank you Otis for another excellent piece!!
ReplyDeleteExcellent piece? It's copied from Milenio.
Delete"Seizures"
DeleteCan't fool me you're a cop.
5:10 give it a rest. Otis did a lot more than you did. Maybe there are folks who appreciate the effort that goes in to translation.
DeleteNot copied, translated moron
DeleteGreat job otis.thx
Delete6:32...clearly, 'the pot calling the kettle black'. In modern thought, if not in fact, nothing is that doesn't act, so that is reckoned wisdom which describes the scratch and not the itch. Lotsa of jibber jabber about the scratch and not the itch. Thanks again Otis B.
DeleteYeah man its from Milenio(it tells everyone that at the bottom)but many would not have read it except Otis-B took the time to translate the motherfucker into English for English readers to learn and hear what is happening in Mexico?
DeleteWhat the fuck is the problem with that?
What have you done lately to shine a light on Mexico?
Does this have anything to do with the story, just asking
Delete12:58 who cares bro. As long as they catch the bad hombres who gives a shit, plus they use radios not instagram or snapchat
Maybe mini lic is following the path of Jesus Zambada Reyes,and is now a protected witness.
ReplyDelete2:15 Jesus Zambada Reyes son of jesus zambada who became a protected witness killed himself shortly after getting released, hanged from his own belt.the government say.
DeleteValiendo madre, pos pá qué tantas pistolas, y granadas, unos granos en las nalgas les hubieran servido mas.
ReplyDeleteEl rey zambada, su hijo, el barbas, la barbie, sergio vega, vicente carrillo leyva, vicente zambada niebla, (genarco garcia luna, pero ese era polesia) I wonder who in chilango land has the magnetic magnetism to attract so many "important narcos" to the center of political power, banking, business y tranzas in mexico...televisa too...
Es la sombra que da los pinos compa...por eso todos se va a la CDMX. Antes de que los agarran y despues que salen, ahi estan los pesados. Por lo menos tienen donde llegar ahi, pero ay otros que ahi hacen su residencia.
DeleteI heard it's because Mexico City is a neutral place within cartels. Majority of all capos take their family to live there. There's no turf wars, no plazas to fight over. It's a safe haven for families of the cartel bosses.
DeleteBullshit. Main security of mini lic is 15 coki alber mchoclos liebre diablo montana and his dads fed. Real talk.
ReplyDelete2:53 whatever All Talk!
DeleteContinue listening to his corridos
DeleteReal talk 3:53
DeleteMarito choclos is gente de ivan
DeleteWhen someone says "real talk" it's a real lie. Fake news.
DeleteI thought Choclos was mini Lic people. More info on Choclos please
DeleteCorridos are fictional nowadays...they boast & brag about being stand up guys & as soon as they feel the cold steel of handcuffs around their wrist,they start crying & snitching!Look at Damaso Sr begging Uncle Sam to come rescue his bitch ass from Mexicos prison system,Mini Lic wont be any different,youll see!
Delete2:53 I thought Choclos pushed weight not did security. He's on an indictment I believe
DeleteMario Valenzuela Verdugo from rancho Vizcaino. Yes he pushes weight but he is also part of Mini Lic inner circle. I believe he holds more clout out of that whole group. He comes from a well known family. He could of had something to do with the ambush on Ivan and Alfredo in Mayo turf since his rancho ain't far from El Alamo and Los Llanos. Just speculating on my part though.
DeleteThanks for the info 4:34 there isn't much out there on him but I did see he's wanted in USA for trafficking
DeleteMe being a happily 8 x 5 worker for life I could honestly say my s&w model 659 (my least favorite/valued) looks better than that piece of shit. Stay in school kids.
ReplyDeleteAnd than they roll up with a bulletproof ford raptor mounted .50 cal
Delete659??
DeleteLook at that H&K.
MP5K is not a bad weapon, I have used these myself, very good for close protection in confined spaces, but there is the MP7 now which has much better penetration than the standard 9mm FMJ
DeleteMP5K very good weapons and expensive. F.B.I. Swat teams in the us used them and countless agency's in the UK.this not a very common gun either.
DeleteBlood is extremely corrosive.
DeleteMP5K is a great weapon but nower days with the light concealable body armor and the short barreled high caliber rifles being used on the street you would be better off with a 7.5 inch AR or AK. These rifle can be just as concealable as the MP5 models plus you have 5.56 and 7.62x39 stopping power. But I guess it's what you can get your hands on is what you carry.
DeleteI didn't mean the smg. The pistol is shit. Mp5 are very good but I prefer something more hands on like a p90.
DeletePlus MP5 parts cost a fortune to get these days.
DeleteWho freaking cares if the guy that own that weapon felt comfortable that was his choice. Lics people are going to click up with CJNG
DeleteLike 11:41 said so enough with the call of duty talk, (3:05) these guns are burnt pistolas not meant for the roadhouse auction show
DeleteThat's why these narcos are getting their asses handed to them by the military. Carry busted ass guns and you'll get your ass busted up. I've seen better guns carried by 13 year old wannabe gangesters in Dallas. And them boys ain't playing no call of duty like they should be.
Delete6 down. Does anyone else think this is dad ratting? Probably obvious, I know that's what I think. Just wondering what everyone else is thinking. Six is a big number to be just a lucky break
ReplyDeleteIntelligence gathered from cell phones and interrogating tactics I'm sure.
DeleteAt some point, you would think they would know to stay off their cell phones.
Delete3:30 Yep!
DeleteIf someone places a disposable scapel 2 your lower abdominal parts trust me you'll confess quickly. No need 2 slap the perp around much. Shiny metals make great instigators. - Sol Prendido
Delete@5:55 the thing is they think they know more than they do. They think using satellite phones and switching blackberries once a week will prevent the government from tracking them.
Delete3:30 makes sense that Dad is squealing especially if they are tormenting him. Obviously in mexico like U.S. they use forceful tactics. In the U.S. they are known for forcing false confessions out of people lol
DeleteSol perdido
DeleteYou mean interrogators, not instigators
And why the single bird and the pack work? Or is that just head stash for the whole team for a month on "the mattresses"
ReplyDeleteDefinitely some changes are occurring in the drug cartels world. With bosses of all sides being apprehended and proceedings of extradition in place. Such changes are the result of a political system beyond our pay level to muster.
ReplyDeleteInteresting to know the full scope of what is transpiring. Sure that's classified .
It appears that law enforcement from the Mexico and the US are zeroing in on the Sinaloa Cartel. Since El Chapo's arrest, the Cartel has weakened tremendously. This is allowing the Jalisco Cartel to continue to grow. But, just as with all Cartels, within 5 years, the Jalisco Cartel will be put out of business. No retirement in the game. You either go to jail or you die.
ReplyDeleteWhoever is pulling the strings is clearly focusing on de-factionalizing
Deletethe Sinaloa cartel, when the play to weaken them would be to allow the in-fighting.
Damasos were creating the only internal conflict within the CDS structure if you haven't been paying attention. Since damasos double crossing was brought to light, CDS or more less Mayo has zeroed in on them. Only people that really took hits within the Sinaloa Cartel was Chapos family. There was simply a restructuring that took place now that everyone is in line wiyh Mayo, you haven't heard them take a hit in a minute. Government is solving their problem.
DeleteWhen the government has to worry about being ratted on you know theres a problem. CDS narcos do not hesitate to point fingers, loose lips sinks ships.
DeleteNews in sinaloa. The military police arrested 4 municipal police for extorsion.
ReplyDelete6:45 That is totally amazing,cops arrested for extortion!How often does that happen,like I never heard of it before!
Delete8:34 that aint really new. The army or any other police had arrest corrupted police before. Not just in sinaloa but others states of mexico. Including the once that uses torture or lethal force cause you know. Human rights watch
DeleteCouldn't be in sinaloa! The Capos and policethere are honest and dont mess with the people! (Sarcasm)
DeleteYAY !
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work, Otis
Nothing new like always just a power vacuum taking out the heads who no longer are needed that only attract attention call me they captured el mayo zambada
ReplyDeleteTamaulipas Entren Al Topon
Mayo zambada is the man all this people damaso chapo solo son peones en su juego de agedrez Primero he sent his 3 sons who are now under protection living like king s somewhere in the world courtesy of the us El mencho No le legs ni a Las bolas
ReplyDeletethese guys look old af!
ReplyDeleteI didnt know their was an age limit to trafficking dope!
DeleteWith the fractures in CDS factions,I can see the same with CJNG.Who will be the next capos,I can see Adelmo might be one of them.
ReplyDeleteOnly fracture was damaso if you haven't been reading these articles as of late. Mayo has CDS tighter than ever. i cant remember the last big hit they took besides taliban getting gunned down in Culiacan 6-7 minths ago. Chamal was a pawn
Delete5:35 Have you forgotten Beltranes?
DeleteGuzman faction has fractured completely. GN broke up as well as M's from Durango who held the state for Chapo. Guano main men have been killed over the years. Bravo people fell off. Vago and his people will now follow like Bravo and die out. Damaso break up sums it all up. All that's left is Ivan and his people. Guzman new farm system is being put into play all youngsters. CDS on the other hand will always move on.
Delete@6:09 I think your right all the new youngsters with ivan
DeleteAlot of Damaso people are getting caught outside Sinaloa seems like he might have lost ground in Sinaloa and have fled, anyway it's not looking good for Mini
ReplyDeleteEasy, just follow all the people that get to mexico city from sinaloa.
ReplyDeleteIn la piedad michoacan. The michoacan police detain 4. La piedad is closer to the states line of guanajuato and jalisco and it used to be calm. Well some areas in that small city is bad
ReplyDeleteIn guerrero 7 taquileros members were detain by police
ReplyDeleteMas que obvio que el primero en caer (un Sinaloense) le puso el dedo a los otros 5.No tardan en poner al Mini Lic,asi como pusieron a su Papí y tambien va llorar que quiere ser testigo protegido!
ReplyDeletelol @ the boydguards. They all look like type 2 diabetes patients at the free clinic.
ReplyDeleteLMAO you're a fool 4 that 1
DeleteGuano and chapos other brother that just got released are probably going to go at it for the capo position.
ReplyDeleteSources says my tia will also fight for control
DeleteIs your tia La China?
DeleteIf his mini lics bodyguards were detained then that means he's there ain't it?
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the cartels read these comments and just lol pure entertainment for them
ReplyDelete@7:12 They do read them. For entertainment I suspect they watch cartoons.
DeleteI dont think uve heard of Don Comandante Perro
DeleteComandante pero was killed by federal forces in a shootout in Culiacan in 2010
DeleteNever ive heard corridos que anda con una super bien fajada y un rifle largo alcance con chaleco antibalas lleno de cartuchos y granadas patrullando todo sinaloa en un dia. He must be called San Comandante Perro now if you say he got killed
Delete6 viejos y pendejos, que triste.
ReplyDeleteDamaso was running from la paz, mencho is laying the smack down!...
ReplyDeleteCHIVAS WHERE DID THEY MOVE CHINO I CANT FIND HIM ON THE INMATE LOCATOR?
ReplyDeleteShootouts in reynosa tamaulipas. 5 dead. 2 narcos, 1 state police, and 1 civilian. The dead civilian was eating tacos. No joke. They also found a narco monster truck
ReplyDeletePorfin 5 o 4?
DeleteI appreciate the stories on here, and the ones that are just translations. My Spanish is not good enough to try and read a whole story - it would take me forever. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK, great website!
ReplyDeleteThose who whine & complain - why do they even bother clicking in it if they do not like? And why take the time to post a negative comment? Sure must be nice to have that much free time with nothing better or more productive to do...
