Mexico City - In a joint communiqué issued today, December 23, the security cabinet reported on the most important actions carried out last weekend, from December 20 to 22.

The deactivation of a 'narco-laboratory' in Cosalá, Sinaloa, stands out.

“In Sinaloa, elements of the Semar and FGR located and neutralized a clandestine laboratory with an economic impact on organized crime of 2 million 31 thousand 960 dollars,” states the bulletin.

• “The laboratory and precursors were destroyed on site,” the document explains.

In more military intelligence operations, Mexican Army personnel dismantled 4 concentration areas in which 2,100 liters of various substances for the manufacture of methamphetamine were seized, which represents an economic blow of 46 million pesos to criminal groups.

While in Culiacan, agents of the Secretary of the Navy (Semar) and the Attorney General's Office (FGR) “located and neutralized a clandestine laboratory with chemical precursors and additives for the manufacture of synthetic drugs, seized 1,300 kilograms of methamphetamine, 22,760 kilograms of chemical substances used for the manufacture of synthetic drugs, six reactors, two distillers and other material, in the vicinity of the town of Corral Viejo”.

Mayo Flaco Gunmen Have Set The Navolato Plaza As Next Objective To Conquer: Sinaloa

 "Char" for Borderland Beat 

NOVEMBER 24, 2024 

BY: CHAR

The Mayo Zambada criminal organization led by Ismael Zambada Sicairos, "Mayo Flaco" has kept its offensive campaign against La Chapiza ever since the war erupted on September 9, 2024, between both criminal organizations. The Mayo Flaco gunmen are clearly on the offensive and making incursions throughout La Chapiza-controlled plazas except for Culiacan as this has created too much heat from the government for the MF group. The MF criminal group's war objective seems to be conquering plazas controlled by La Chapiza outside of Culiacan. The Mayo Flaco "MF" group is surrounding the northern part outside of Culiacan, so Los Chapos will have a hard time moving outside of Culiacan. 

On the other hand, La Chapiza or Los Chapos seem to be defending their territories, and they are definitely on the defensive without a clear motive, or objective other than defending themselves from the MF group attack.

Shooting was reported in Ejido La Bandera, in Navolato

Different news outlets reported a shooting attack on November 24, 2024, in the small village of La Bandera in Navolato, Sinaloa, and that law enforcement authorities attended the report. 

A man's body was found with his hands tied behind his back, tortured, and with a message in Navolato, Sinaloa

With his hands tied behind his back, tortured and with a message, the body of a man was found in the waters of the river in the fishing camp Los Puentes, Navolato, this Sunday morning, November 24.

EL MINI LICENCIADO 

Interrogation videos continue to intensify as the La Chapiza or Los Chapos VS Mayo Flaco criminal groups continue to wage war on one another. The faith of the four interrogated Mayo Flaco "MF" gunmen has already been sealed, but before they meet their end, La Chapiza members are interrogated. 

 

The MF commander captured by La Chapiza is Luis Alberto Sanchez Quintero. While being interrogated, Luis Alberto claims that his immediate boss is David Lopez and that the latter received orders from Damaso Lopez Serrano, "El Mini Lic," who works directly with El 19. Moreover, El 19 is a lieutenant of Ismael Zambada Sicairos, "Mayo Flaco," leader of the Mayo Zambada criminal organization. 

 

The four Mayo Flaco gunmen were allegedly captured near the syndicate Eldorado, Sinaloa, and it is important to add that the Eldorado Plaza is now controlled by the Mayo Flaco criminal organization. The La Chapiza or Los Chapos criminal group has made it a priority to recuperate the Eldorado Plaza as heavy fighting has been reported in recent days.

Captive #4: The truth is that we’re not even being paid.  

Sicario: Are you being paid with crystal meth?

Captive #4: Yes, straight fucking meth. 

Sicario: What happened to that fucking support you guys were supposed to receive? 

Captive #4: He didn’t send us any backup. We were sent to the front like canon fodder to be executed. 

Sicario: Who’s in charge in El Dorado?

Captive #4: Who’s in charge in El Dorado? That would be the Chapiza mob. 

Sicario: Who’s in charge in El Dorado you fuck? You gang of dicks should already know that the Chapiza mob is in charge in the city of El Dorado. Don’t ever forget that. 

Part 2

Sicario: How many of your operatives have the Chapos gunmen killed off?

Captive I honestly don’t know the actual amount. But the numbers are high. 

Sicario: What exactly were you fuckers thinking, that it was going to be so easy or what? 

Captive: Well, it did look easy for us. However, once you’re face to face with the situation at hand it becomes something else altogether. We did run into a good amount of an opposing force. 

Sicario: What about your backup?

Captive: Well, they never come through for us. We’re told that they’re on their way but they never arrive. 

Sicario: If  you guys aren’t being paid then why don’t you all just get the fuck out of here and go back to wherever it is that you’re from? 

Captive: The truth is that we all regret what we’ve done here because we’re promised so much and never given anything in return. 

Sicario:  If that’s the case then why don’t you just leave this area then?

Captive: We’re all held under threat here. Our families are also under threat. We’re being forced to work here. That’s how things really are for us. We’re being paid with drugs. 

Sicario: What all did Mini Lic promise you guys?

Captive: He promised a lot of things but nothing was ever fulfilled. 

Sicario: More than likely he promised you guys some ranches. 

Captive: Yes, some ranches. Along with so many other things. And that we’d be bosses as well. But that just wasn’t the case. We were nothing more than cannon fodder. 

Sicario: What message would you like to send out to your friends in the rear?

Captive: It’s in your best interest to study, I’m sorry, to work an honest job. Don’t bother getting involved with the underworld. As it is we’re screwed here and it’s over for us. 

Sicario: Don’t bother coming against the Chapos mob because it isn’t as easy as it looks. However, if you want to keep trying to come against us this is how your lives will end. Just like this gang of dumbasses that you see here…

Sedena Affirms That Criminal Leaders Have Increased Their Security Since Ovidio's Capture

 "Char" for Borderland Beat 

This article was translated and reposted from RIODOCE 

Author : José Almaguer

Date | October 25, 2024 Time | 10:43 am

Following the arrest of Ovidio Guzmán López, the leaders of criminal groups in Sinaloa have increased their security with hitmen who would be willing to give their lives for them and this has generated greater violence, assured the Secretary of National Defense (Sedena), Ricardo Trevilla Trejo.

During President Claudia Sheinbaum's morning press conference, the head of the Sedena stated that the violence plaguing Sinaloa is a product of the arrest of Ismael el Mayo Zambada by US authorities.

However, violence has increased because crime leaders have increased their security with very violent hitmen willing to give the lives of their protégés, following the arrest of Guzmán López, said Trevilla Trejo.

“That triggered a lot of violence and has made the criminal groups more violent, more armed and more careful of their leaders. After Ovidio's capture, especially in Sinaloa, the criminals increased their escorts a lot, very violent hitmen willing to give the lives of their protégés, of their escorts, more armed, much more violence,” said the general.

Regarding the case of the 19 presumably armed dead killed in the arrest of Edwin Rubio Lopez “El Max” or “El Oso”, in El Doce, east of Culiacan, last Monday, he mentioned that the Attorney General's Office and the Military Justice Department will be in charge of investigating the case and will decide if any military crime was committed.

Flyers allegedly signed by “La Mayiza” are dropped from a light aircraft in Culiacan; they claim they will not rest until they “put things in order”.

This article was translated and reposted from EL UNIVERSAL 

The document assures that the abuses of “Los Chapos” will be ended.

WRITTEN BY: JAVIER CABRERA MARTINEZ 

OCTOBER 22, 2024

Culiacán, Sin., Oct. 22 - In a period of twenty-five days, flyers have been thrown on public streets on two occasions, presumably from airplanes or by hand, as an action against the sons of “Chapo Guzmán” to whom they attribute the collection of money and other abuses, in complicity with the governor, Rubén Rocha Moya.

As part of the war being waged in the state by the groups of the “Chapitos and the Mayitos”, a new flyer was circulated again this Tuesday, in which they ask to join forces so that they can enter Culiacán to bring order, with the signature of “La Mayiza”.

The text states that they will not rest until they enter Culiacan, as they want to put order and put an end to so many abuses committed by the Chapos, for this they need to overthrow this government that supports them, so they give a phone number for any abuse, corruption, businesses and addresses of the governor, as well as his children and cabinet.

A similar flyer, printed on two sheets, which circulated last Friday, September 27, titled “El cartel de los sapitos” (The cartel of the toadies), in which they ask that if you know them to report them, to the telephone numbers of the Sedena, Navy and the Ninth Military Zone, the faces of 17 people appear, out of 19 that are mentioned in the pamphlet, among them is Rocha Moya's face.

In this flyer, in which the photos of Joaquín Guzmán Loera's sons appear, the current Senator of Morena, Enrique Inzunza Cazares and the mayor of Badiraguato, José Paz López Elenes, accuse them of being linked to fraudulent real estate projects, money laundering of the “sapitos” cartel.

For this we need to overthrow this government that supports them. We ask that you call this number 6673246586 to report any abuse, corruption, businesses and addresses of the governor.

The same goes for his sons and cabinet members who serve as proxies with the use of their names. As I said before we’re going to root out the problem.

We need to join forces.

Culiacán, Sinaloa.- Pickup trucks, long weapons, and lifeless bodies were seen thanks to a drone shot in a field located in the town of Plan de Oriente known as ejido El 12 where a confrontation between military personnel and armed civilians took place on the night of Monday, October 21, heading to Sanalona east of Culiacán.

The preliminary result of the operation is 19 civilians killed and one male arrested, identified as Edwin Antonio alias “El Max” whom the federal government identifies as “El Oso” leader of a criminal cell and priority target of the armed forces.

Tour of the confrontation zone

The Newsmen made a tour of the epicenter of the confrontation and when we were driving on the highway to Sanalona, ​​upon reaching the height of the town of Plan de Oriente we turned left onto a dirt road called “Unión” which connected to a country house, but 100 meters before there was a checkpoint of the Mexican Army Special Forces which did not allow access to said place, where the lifeless bodies of at least three men were seen and long weapons lying next to them, in addition to three recent model pickup trucks with the doors open.

The campsite has two other rooms in which the Forensic Medical Service personnel entered and left, where it is presumed that the rest of the bodies of the alleged criminals who were killed could be found.

The place has been guarded by military personnel since the morning of Tuesday, October 22, and at least three SEMEFO panels are carrying out the removal of the bodies, of which there are presumed to be 19, but the federal authorities have not provided official information.
