Mexico has extradited “El Lobo” Oscar Orlando Nava Valencia, former kingpin of the “cartel de los Valencia” or Milenio cartel, to the U.S. to face charges of conspiracy and drug trafficking before the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas.
The transfer of custody from AFI (Federal Investrigative Agency) officials to representatives from the U.S. Marshals Service for Nava Valencia was held January 27 at the airport in Toluca, Mexico.
Nava Valencia was captured after a gun battle with Mexican Army troops on October 28, 2009 in the municipality of Tlajomulco de Zuniga, Jalisco.
“El Lobo” and his brother Juan "El Tigre" Nava Valencia were responsible for the planning and movement of cocaine shipments from South and Central America to the port of Manzanillo, Colima from where it was smuggled into the United States.
After the arrest of “El Lobo”, Juan Nava Valencia took over the leadership of the Milenio cartel until May 6, 2010 when he also was arrested during an army operation in Guadalajara.
According to Mexican law enforcement investigators, “El Lobo” was a collaborator in trafficking operations with Ignacio “Nacho” Coronel and had close links with the Sinaloa Cartel and Joaquin “el Chapo” Guzman.
The Nava Valencia brothers and Nacho Coronel had as their center of operations the states of Jalisco, Colima and Nayarit, and also had a presence in Michoacan. Investigators believe the void left after the death of Coronel and the arrests of the Valencias are the main reason for the violent dispute for control of drug trafficking in Jalisco and Nayarit.
The criminal origin of the "Valencia" or "Milenio” cartel dates from the early 1990's, when they were in control of the planting and harvesting of Marijuana and Opium in the area along the border between the states of Jalisco and Michoacan, and formed a wide drug distribution network on U.S. soil.

ReplyDeleteAnon..tell me about El Chino...what made him a good man? Why did a good man go so bad? Does he have children? Wife? Please do not tell me he was a professor or some nobel position, I have seen that happen more times than I want to remember..
ReplyDeleteI am sincere in my questions.
Yes he does a girl and he was a good man
Delete@11:55 I'm pretty sure the Mex gangs are running the whole show, perhaps its the other way around? Maybe in Tivoli Gardens the Shower Posse might be holding it down, but I doubt that they outmuscle the Mex cartels anywhere else in the Western helisphere.
ReplyDeletePosses < Cartels
yeah ..you are right ..the cartels wouldn't fuck with them...they would just roll in in ten truck loads an kill them all..

I think Jamacians/Hatians/Dominicans/Columbians still handle a majority share of business coming thru the Caribbean, and into South Flordia, (retail distribution) but that's where the influence begins and ends.
ReplyDeleteI think the jamacians/dominicans/Puerto Rico have been dried up due to the cartels.and as far as the cartels can't touch the jamacians?lol ur kidding right.I love the jamacians but they are in now way shape or form nearly as organized as some of the cartels.If you read a lot,then u realize Lot of the soldiers from the cartels have been highly trained. I remember when he jamacians tried to put a stronghold on nyc and the Italian mob cleaned them up rather fast. El labo is one of those guys I've never heard of till this article and u can tell the dude is bad ass,messing with nacho,and juaquin.
ReplyDeleteI'm Jamaican and, believe me, compared to the Mexican cartels, Jamaican drug gangs are minor league...and for that, I am thankful. I shudder at the thought of living in a society where such sheer brutality and barbarism is rampant and becoming more commonplace. My heart hurts for the innocent people of Mexico...
ReplyDeletei've been reading your guys website for about 6 moths now, and i love it, its actually the only website i visit every day, and i was just wanting to say that for awhile, but seriously guys, its very cool that you r keeping it real deal pro journalism status, cause alot of things are watered down now. Its always interesting material, and most of the time the blogs are cool, i remember the blogs are really what got me into it.. and the reason being is because the people that write go into alot of detail. paying attention to detail is very important. Thank you guys, your doing an excellent job.and i just wanted to ask a question too,
ReplyDeletewho is this?

Agreed, though I think most of the product coming into South Florida thru that corridor isn't from mex. DTO's, it's from source countries and loosely organized crime operating in places like Hati and Jamaica. When's the last time that region was even mentioned with mex. cartels? 90% of the cocaine in the US comes from Mexico, the other 10% is prob. the small piece of Florida.
ReplyDeleteJamaica and south africa have the highest murder rates in the world......and these people are as ruthless as they come and completely fearless... were I live u have mexican and spanish gangs but its the jamaicans that run down here
ReplyDeleteThe us labeled christopher coke as one of the most dangerous drug lords in the world i doubt they would lable him that if jamaicans didn't have alot of influence...plus the mexican cartels would never go down to jamaica and kill nobody down there
ReplyDeleteyeap..and you don't see a lot of jahmakins in Monterrey either
