| State Attorney General investigates battle between Community Police Posted: 07 Jun 2015 05:29 AM PDT Translated by Otis B Fly-Wheel for Borderland Beat from a Milenio article with additional images from Procesofoto and additional information from Bajopalabra [ Subject Matter: Community Police, Acapulco, Xolapa Recommendation: No prior subject matter knowledge required]  Reporters: Jose Antonio Belmont, Rogelio Agustin Esteban, Javier Trujillo, German Canesco The Attorney General of the State of Guerrero is investigating an confrontation between an official group and a dissident group of Community Police pertinent to FUSDEG, which occurred recently in the community of Xolapa in the North of Acapulco. Even though there is no official accounting of the events that happened, MILENIO knows that there were 12 dead on the side of the dissident group and four of the official group, and six injured, all by gunfire. Last December, the United Front for Security and Improvement of the State of Guerrero (FUSDEG), expelled Ignacio Policarpio and his group, later they were linked with Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion. Warning very strong images of violence on next page, viewer discretion is advised Without doubt they never accepted the abandonment of their function as Community Police and continued to print logos of FUSDEG, which they displayed to carry out their vigilance work. In confirming the confrontation yesterday, the State Attorney General said that the event occurred around 17:45 hours in the afternoon between " Community Police headed by their Commander Salvador Alanis Trujillo and Ignacio Policarpio who represent a detachment of the above mentioned organization". The motive for the confrontation, is that these Groups " have a dispute for the territory of the Acapulco - Chilpancingo corridor". He indicated that they started reviewing previous investigations to mark out responsibilities and to determine the number of dead and wounded. Without doubt, Ramon Navarrete, in charge of the Office of the President of the Commission for Human Rights of Guerrero, confirmed that nine people of the community of Xolapa and four of La Mojonera died in the confrontation. Meanwhile in the House of Justice of Tierra Colorada, community authorities acknowledged the death of three members of FUSDEG. According to testimony, the confrontation occurred when a convoy of ten pickups of FUSDEG members of Tierra Colorada arrived at the village of Xolapa, and opened fire on a group that they encountered at the end of the principal access road into the community. At this point there were spent cartridges of guns of large calibre, a shot up car, and pools of blood and a corpse.  The rest of the corpses were carried away by family members, to their respective dwellings, where the family carried out vigils.  Among the victims was Ignacio Policarpio, who fell in the House of Justice, where he was participating in a meeting. Also Balbino Tornez Santos and his sons, Jesus and Marcos Tornez Analco.  As well as, Omar Gallegos Tornez and his father Melchor Gallegos Abarca, who was the Commander of the Community Police in Xolapa and Ignacio Calvario Marichon. Original article in Spanish at Milenio Bajopalabra offers a different cause of the event at Xolapa This version of events is the one presented by the leader of the Front of Democratic Organizations of the State of Guerrero, FODEG, Bertolo Martinez Cruz, who when referring to the confrontation, said that there was no such confrontation, that rather it was a meeting that both groups would hold in the community of Xolapa. But when a group of Community Police from Ocotito arrived at the zone of the meeting, with better arms than that of the house, they were disarmed in the blink of an eye, then used those weapons against the members of FUSDEG that were attending the meeting. He insisted that there was no clash between them as has been reported in some media, but rather a premeditated action of another grouop that took advantage of the element of surprise to disarm and shoot them.

| "El Mayo", the most powerful capo according to the DEA Posted: 07 Jun 2015 12:44 AM PDT Translated by Otis B Fly-Wheel for Borderland Beat from a Proceso article [ Subject Matter: El Mayo Zambada, Sinaloa Cartel, Drug Enforcement Agency Recommendation: Some prior knowledge of the Sinaloa Cartel would be useful]
Reporter: J Jesus Esquivel Jack Riley, interim Chief of the DEA, is blunt: in the world there is no Cartel more solid than the Sinaloa Cartel, and no Capo more powerful than "El Mayo" Zambada. In an interview with Proceso, the anti-drug functionary speaks about the "boom" of the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion and the decline of Los Zetas. And he clarifies: the Sinaloa Mafia, owns the herion market in the United States and he discusses the power struggle between the historical cartel leaders and the new generations, among whom are the children of Joachin Archivaldo Guzman Loera "El Chapo". Washington For Jack Riley, Chief of Operations of the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), the Sinaloa Cartel is the most established criminal organization in the world, and its leader Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada Garcia, the Capo who enjoys the most power in the world. "El Mayo is the most powerful narco trafficker. I believe that the organization he formed is the most solid, because he has lasted the longest in the history of international narco trafficking", he said. Despite the notoriety gained in recent weeks for the "Cartel considered the richest in the world", the Cartel Jalisco Nuevo Generacion, explains Riley in the interview, does not have the power or the domain of the Sinaloa Cartel. Riley, was made interim Chief last May, after the retirement of Michele Leonhart, has reason to sustain his affirmation:" We are highly concentrated on combating the market that El Mayo and the Sinaloa Cartel has. I include that I think we have underestimated his influence and power in controlling the drugs market in the United States". He is in charge of DEA opeartions both internally and outside of the United States, the Agent is keen to expose the new reality of the threat of Mexican narco traffickers:" We are inundated with Mexican heroin, and according to our estimations, the Sinaloa Cartel has almost complete ownership of the market for this drug, as well as on a lesser scale the trafficking of marijuana, cocaine, and methamphetamines". With the augmentation of local production of marijuana, the reduction in cocaine consumed and the difficulty of more laws on the control and sale of controlled medicines and precursor products for the production of methamphetamines, heroin now is the most consumed illicit drug in the United States. According to the statistics of the DEA, the Sinaloa Cartel is almost the only exporter of heroin consumed in all of the United States. Other Mexican organizations, like the Juarez and Gulf Cartels, and the Knights Templar, continue selling drugs, but to increasingly smaller segments of the U.S. market. "The Sinaloa Cartel has been thinned out in Mexico, but in the United States it maintains its contacts and businesses, and its routes and plazas are well established", he emphasizes. The Government of Barack Obama is engaged in containing the scourge of increasing heroin use, and while the Sinaloa Cartel is the main supplier of the drug, the fight is not against the front of this organization because it outside of its borders. Riley insists:" The people of the Sinaloa Cartel" are not in the United States. They operate from Mexico and its Northern frontier, and in the American Union moves a lot of drugs through a huge network of brokers, transporters, distributors, retailers and money launderers.

| Tijuana: Los Cuates De Oberas captured Posted: 06 Jun 2015 04:41 PM PDT The structure of a retail cell in Tijuana: Los Cuates De Obreras After several months of killings and dismemberment, in the war for control of Tijuana's retail drug market, arrests have illuminated a retail cell, loyal to 'Achilles', and believed to be responsible for dozens of murders.  Los Cuates De Obrera, whose name comes from the Tijuana neighborhood in which they control and operate, is under the operational command of 'El Turbo', 'El Alejo', and 'El Chino', who in turn allegedly answer to Achilles. On Tuesday June 4th in Rosarito, elements of SEDENA and the PEP arrested 7 members of the cell, who were attending a private party in Rosarito.  Those arrested were Antonio Cerda Luce Pacheco, 'The Bad Twin', Marco Antonio Cerda Pacheco, 'The Twin', and Guizar Gerardo Raul de la Pena, 'El Rulas', Jared Moses Rendon Alvarez, Alan Orozco Gaurdiola Israel, Jesus Arroyo Ornelas, Edgar Huerta Quintero. In their possession, unsurprisingly were two AK-47 rifles and doses of crystal. On Thursday, more arrests were made in Tijuana, members of another retail/sicario cell, 'Los Saicos', in possession of handguns and small amounts of packaged cocaine and marijuana.  Authorities have linked this cell to dozens of killings in April and May, orders given by Raul Miranda Ortiz, El Alejo and Chino, to attack members of the remaining Arellano Felix cells. Raul Miranda Ortiz also allegedly ordered the death of 'El 300', a plaza or cell boss, who was told he had 24 hours to leave Tijuana. Reports indicate this cell, or other members were responsible for the death of Luis Manuel Toscano, whose killing set off a series of still ongoing murders and shootings. Sources: AFN Tijuana | ||
