By "El Huaso" for Borderland Beat

Today, Mexican authorities arrested Edgar Valeriano 'N', alias “Kamoni”, the alleged regional head of the Tepalcatepec cartel in the municipalities of Tepalcatepec and Buenavista, Michoacán.


According to Security Minister Harfuch, El Kamoni was involved in the production and distribution of synthetic drugs, and extortion of the citrus sector. El Kamoni worked under Juan José Farías Álvarez alias "El Abuelo", the leader of the Cartel de Tepalcatepec.

Mexican authorities say the arrest was enabled through information sharing with Interpol and Sedena intelligence.  El Kamoni is wanted on drug trafficking charges by the U.S. State Department, who put out a reward of 3 million dollars for information that would allow his capture.

  1. Don’t be fooled people same thing that happened with the Reyes cartel - 03 has made more investment & resources into the state and strengthen government relations so they can continue to expand and more dominate the state after the arrest and pressure they started getting after Mencho was killed this state is vital to them loosing it or any type of strategic territory can’t happen for 03. This is simply the government in the state helping them get rid of the strong holds that Untied cartels still has .
