By "El Huaso" for Borderland Beat
This morning, Hidalgo and Mexico City authorities captured Víctor Manuel Torres García, alias “El Güero” or “El Papirrín”, in Pachuca de Soto, state of Hidalgo for alleged involvement in the murder of three in May. Simultaneously, Mexico City authorities captured his collaborator Ricardo Daniel Guerrero Chávez, alias “El Borracho”, and another unidentified person in Azcapotzalco.
In addition to his alleged involvement in the murder, El Universal reported that he is the leader of a mercenary group operating in Mexico City and it's metro area. In a press release, authorities claim that Torres García, who also used the name "Edgar Mauricio Barrera Corrales", used safe houses in Mexico City, Hidalgo, and Mexico state as staging grounds for his criminal group.
Several agencies were involved in the operations. The Mexico City Secretariat of Citizen Security (SSC) worked with the Special Anti-Kidnapping Unit of Hidalgo (UECS) participated in the capture of Torres García in Pachuca de Soto, while an SSC unit captured Guerrero Chávez in Mexico City.

In 2010, Torres García worked in the Beltran Leyva Organization until the Beltran Leyva brothers were arrested, when he joined the Milenio Cartel, a predecessor of the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG).
In the early 2010s, Torres García was a founding member of 'La Resistencia', a now defunct alliance of criminal groups, including La Familia Michoacána, the Gulf Cartel and the Milenio Cartel, which faced off Los Zetas. He was captured in February 2011 in Uruapan, Michoacán, where he was allegedly meeting with leaders of La Familia Michoacána.
