"El Pío," the Son of "El Balta" and a Associate of Mayo Zambada, Has Been Arrested

“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat




Federal forces arrested José Porfirio Díaz Medina alias El Pío, son of the Sinaloan drug trafficker Baltasar Díaz Vega, yesterday, Thursday. Who died in March 1988 during a shootout recorded in Mexico City, in which two judicial police officers died.


According to official information, the arrest took place in the vicinity of a food business identified as the taqueria La Pasada on the Los Mochis Topolobampo highway, in the Las Misiones residential area, in the city of Los Mochis, without any major incidents being reported.


He was wanted by Interpol. However, so far the sources consulted do not publicly detail the specific charges for which he was wanted, nor the country that would have requested international collaboration through Interpol.


After his capture, José Porfirio Díaz Medina was placed at the disposal of the Federal Public Ministry, remaining under custody in the facilities of the Attorney General's Office with headquarters in Los Mochis.


His father, Baltasar Díaz Vega, is identified as a drug trafficker during the 1980s. In journalistic archives, Díaz Vega, aka  El Balta, appears linked to the historical context of Ismael El Mayo Zambada, founder of the Sinaloa cartel. 


The name of Baltasar Díaz Vega has been cited in journalistic investigations about the alliances that were part of the historical configuration of the Sinaloa cartel. Rio Doce noted that, following the fragmentation of the old Guadalajara Cartel, Zambada allied with Díaz Vega, with whom he maintained a relationship of confidant and political kinship. 


He was born on the El Zapote ranch in the municipality of Badiraguato. He was a cattleman and businessman, in addition to engaging in illicit activities for decades.


His story inspired the narco ballad "Se Le Peló Baltazar." This song, performed by artists such as Valentín Elizalde and groups like La Arrolladora Banda El Limón, tells the story of the episode in which Díaz Vega managed to evade the authorities when they tried to arrest him at his ranch.

  1. Lead by example instead of making excuses.

    Maybe it's a future title or perhaps a painful truth that some people need to hear.

  2. Sol, you make zero sense. And the amount of Cartel news that is out there, why is this site way behind on info? There are so many videos and articles that could make this site . I know you will not post my comment because maybe you need to take your own advice stated above!

    1. 10:22 this joint is not so much about reporting every little piece of gossip, it is mostly about the smart assed comments and sexually harassment of reposters, they get wet and melt in their edible panties.

    2. Agreed. I said something similar but i doubt it will get posted. Nonoffensive facts that go against his carefully crafted narrative are a giant no no here. Pathetic projecting king of cope has a very real inferiority complex.

  3. It was just in our best interests to let you get wrapped up in the game. You couldn't even give youa chance! We'd already taken that away from you. Because it is better to find out the hard way like we did. O the build in it now! We can look forward to it together now. We'll let you think on that.

  9. Baltazar Diaz - now there’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time and completely forgot actually…
    I remember back in the very early 2010’s here on BB in the comments and in the forums.. many would comment asking questions about Balta because wiki used to have him listed as the founder of CDS, but no one ever had much info on this dude.

  22. Arriba la plebada del morro
    Ay yayai !
    "Estaban moliendo caña
    En su ranchito querido
    Buscaban a Baltazar
    Para llevarlo al presidio
    Eran buenos cazadores
    Con experiencia al bolido
    Un venado lampareado
    Es difícil de cazar
    Aunque le pongan la trampa
    Tiene experiencia al brincar
    Se quedaron con las ganas
    Se les peló Baltazar
    Solo el que carga el morral
    Le sabe su contenido
    Por eso la federal
    Quería llevarlo al presidio
    No se le comprobó nada
    Se les bajó en el camino
    Se fue con rumbo a la sierra
    Montado en su bailador
    Su caballo preferido
    Que lo quiere con amor
    Lo mismo baila un huapango
    Que un corrido o una canción
    Ay Culiacán tan hermoso
    Desde el filo de la sierra
    Tus luces yo las diviso
    Como mirar las estrellas
    Como extraño a mis amigos
    También a mi linda güera
    Con una banda muy buena
    Lo vamos a celebrar
    Cantándole este corrido
    Lo vamos a recordar
    El merito 6 de enero
    Se festeja a Baltazar"

  25. Not only did he have a corrido, the corrido turned into a mexican saying, "se les pelo Baltazar", what mexican hasn't heard that said outside of its original context.
