CJNG Officer in Veracruz "El Gordo Frank" Captured After Shootout in Alvarado

By "El Huaso" for Borderland Beat


This afternoon, local CJNG boss Francisco Reyes Ramón, alias “El Gordo Frank”, was arrested by public security forces after a shootout in a residential neighborhood of Alvarado, Veracruz.

The operation took place earlier today in colonia Valente Cruz of Alvarado, a small coastal city 70 kilometers southeast of the Heroica Veracruz. In addition to “El Gordo Frank”, his son and two other alleged hitmen were arrested. 

According to Imagen Veracruz, gunfire was reported in three neighbhorhoods; Colonia Aneas, 
Colonia Valente Cruz, and Colonia 21 de Abril.

Earlier news articles linked 'El Gordo Frank' to the kidnapping of 46 migrants in 2021 that also sparked a major shootout in the city. Veracruz Governor Cuitláhuac García stated at a press conference that "El Gordo Frank" and his cell were heavily involved in human trafficking, as well as cargo truck robberies and attacks on state police officers.

    4. 12:00 the shiny metal IS WORTHLESS, but the sentimental value is incalculable
      You could almost compare it to drinking Kool-Aid out if love.

    5. 2011 or 2012/ 50 people were found murdered, quartered and the veracruz government said they were zetas, it was proven to be a lie, the veracruz state police were trying to prove their loyalty to CJNG by murdering people off the street for javier duarte who was succesor of governor and Zeta #1 fidel herrera beltran whose State Police Academy was used for torture and murder and chopping off victims, some fed to the resident tigers and cricodiles, javier duarte de ochoa got to power by selling the state to CJNG and it is not among the crimes he is being prosecuted for while his FUGLY wife is enjoying all the rich life she "deserves" in England.

    1. 717pm yes they got hit hard by the DEA . They put the CJNG leadership in Zacatecas on blast .. didn't realize how well.established the CJNG was in Zacatecas and how CJNG has so many heavy hitters we had not even heard of operating in tne shadows for tricky 3 and that bloodthirsty CJNG veteran LA GARRA..

    2. @11:09 porristas keep saying that but truth is the LGBT cartel has been on the decline since before menchita was executed by the government. Jalisco leadership in Zacatecas is non existent homie and you know it, el MF les dejo ir toda la riata que hasta se empacharon de verga las jaliscas jototas. The 4 letters are taking losses left and right now just like the Zetas did in the early 2010s, it doesn’t happen all at once .. they cut the head off first and start taking out the weaker targets one by one till they get reduced to shit. Dudo mucho que el Cara de joto del 3 pueda rescatar el cartel de las jotas.

    Trump invited Claudia Sniderbaun and Canada president to, the world cup last Sunday, which they went.
    They watched the game sat together, he did not speak much to them, but was a chatterbox to the FIFA boss. Next time Canada and Mexico don't go, it's a waste of time.

      Let him find lawyers that will defend him properly in court for broken promises of "getting paid "later", everything he touches he bankrupts, if he doesn't respect his own daddy's money, or his or anybody else's money, or the US economy, but demands submission and respect, somebody must be crazy.

    3. You should replace your anger with something positive. There is only one life and it is to short to waste it on anger.

  12. So funny that most reports are of sicarios killed and very rare about security forces. Be realistic. Not create narratives.
