Mexico City - Elements of the Army arrested Noel Salgueiro Nevarez, known as "El Flaco," who is consider the leader and founder of la Gente Nueva, or the New People, an organization that operates in Chihuahua under the command of Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman.
Colonel Ricardo Trevilla, the director of Social Communications of the Ministry of National Defense (SEDENA) reported that on Wednesday the alleged criminal was arrested in Culiacán, Sinaloa, by a precise operation where no shots were fired.
The official said, that Salgueiro Nevarez had within the Sinaloa Cartel a similar level of command that Ignacio Coronel Villarreal, "Nacho Coronel." His involvement in such a criminal organization makes for a big arrest.
Salgueiro Nevárez, said Trevilla, began his criminal activities as leader of Gente Nueva in 2007, in the State of Veracruz and later expanded his operations to Guerrero, Durango and Chihuahua.
In that State, the director said, with the increased of violence in Ciudad Juarez, where he was leading the dispute over control of the plaza of the Carrillo Fuentes drug cartel, by controlling local gangs known as Artistas Asesinos and Los Mexicles.
"The detainee is considered to be responsible for kidnappings, extortions, tortures and the murder of large number of people in the State of Chihuahua, which includes various officials and prominent members of the business sector," explained Trevilla.
Salgueiro Nevarez was presented at the Department of Defense facilities and made available to the Deputy Attorney of Specialized Investigations of Organized Crime (SIEDO), which offered a reward of 3 million pesos, about $221,000 dollars, for his capture.

What you guys think? Chapo turned him in or was it good old Mexican Intelligence... What I find weird is that every time there is a Wanted Poster, the person in the poster is arrested within a couple of months...
ReplyDelete"The detainee is considered to be responsible for kidnappings, extortions, tortures and the murder of large number of people"
ReplyDeleteSounds like Z. :)
In before the "chapo ratted him out" retarded comments.
ReplyDeleteAnd to all you conspiracy buffs, the military protects no cartels or any of it's leaders. It just so happens some are a little more stupid than others.
He hasn't been chapos ppl for awhile now
ReplyDeleteThis is a big blow for sinaloa. Its about time they get a big dogg from sinaloa.. I wonder what offensive Juarez, Zeats, and Beltran Leyvas will make after this capture? Its gona get ugly!
ReplyDeleteThey are comparing him to Nacho? They are crazy, Flaco was just a Lt., while Nacho was a Boss. He looks worn down, his pic from the poster in Chihuahua must of been when he was years younger. Can't believe not a shot fired and where was his armada? Weird.
ReplyDeleteChapo hates kidnappers and extortionists....u never know maybe he pissed chapo off...anyhow this may be a blow but there is somebody already in his place.
ReplyDeleteHopefully an interview is released soon, to clear everything up. I've read the rumors he wasn't with Chapo anymore too, but then why was he Culiacan?
ReplyDelete5:37 PM...It is doubtful you have ever set foot in Mexico if you don't think the military protects cartels. Have you ever read anything besides media articles. Generals and entire platoons are directed by cartels. Do yourself a favor, read "Down by the River" by Charles Bowden, then come back and make that statement. You Chapo nut huggers can't stand when someone speaks out. El Chapo has a long history of snitching, accusations come with the territory when you do that.
ReplyDeleteThis guy was as cold and calculating as anyone ever brought up on this site. He street gangs did everything La Linea and the Barrio Astecas did just as aggressively (murder, extortion, kidnapping). He was worse because one of his MOs was to kill innocent people and blame it on La Linea and also to kill innocent people and leave info that they were involved with CDJ for a public fear factor. He was a peace of shit in the worst way.
If he was sold out, it was by an up-comer that wanted his job, or his supporting cartel wants to change their image. I always felt Nacho was sold out too. I wouldn't apply for that position.
Good Work !!
ReplyDeleteOne of the most wanted/dangerous person's in Mexico and not one shot fired? Just seems a little fishy, almost like they handed him to the Army?
ReplyDeletehaha flaco what happened? How are you gonna get arrested in culiacan of all places!haha That's what you get for trusting el chapo you should've have stayed in chihuahua!haha they told you go to sinaloa and you did and look what happened!!
ReplyDeleteThe guy that is not with sinaloa anymore is el flaco el m10 this is el salgueiro big difference for all the people that don't know and this was gonna happen to el m10 but he found out haha.
ReplyDeleteTo the author, I'd like to see a story with some statistics about kidnappings in Mexico. Specifically the ratio between ransoms paid and the victim being freed vs. ransom being paid and the victim still killed. You would think that after a while the people would know they were most likely going to be killed regardless, so why ruin the families financial future? Disease will eventually kill itself out once it has eaten it's host. Same will be true with the cartels. You can't extort every business to the brink of failure, only to loose a cash base! But I doubt these guys think even a week into the future. They are competing with each other so viciously that not one of them is using any sort of decorum or restraint. They will end up putting themselves out of business, as well as most of Mexico! My tata always told me that the problem with being Mexican was that our people are too greedy and we cant look into the future. Take Mexican History at a college level, and each test is about who promised what to get elected, and how did they screw the people over when they took office. There is no foresight or plans, no self control to let those who you extort and kidnap keep their businesses open. At least the Italians understood this concept. If you paid extortion to some of them, they made sure you weren't 'messed with' or were having problems making money. When your a parasite, you can't suck your host dry and expect to live much longer.
ReplyDelete@6:56pm
ReplyDeletePor favor, no seas tan estupido. Yo voy a Mexico 3 veces cada ano a mantener mi negocio. Charles Bowden (are you serious?), por favor que pendejismo. Por que no vas tu a Mexico y llegas a una base militar y les dices que eres gente del cartel de Sinaloa o otro catrtel de tu gusto a ver que te pasa?
Viva las fuerzas armadas de Mexico.
small fish.An embarssment to the MX Govt and People.
ReplyDelete@ Capo...You are exactly right. This peace of shit couldn't hold a candle to Nacho. Nacho had been around for years. He was old school and his followers were very loyal. He kept security in central. Prior to LMF, he was consider the biggest manufacturer of amphetamine. He was independent and didn't just give the proceeds to El Chapo. The Sinaloa has not been the same since someone sold Nacho down the river. There had been rumors flying that he and Chapo were sideways. It makes you wonder. Nacho had his own independent organization more like El Azul. Nacho had 10 men under him that were 2 steps higher up than this guy. This makes you wonder if Sinaloa has realized failure in Chihuahua.
ReplyDeleteC`mon Calderoni the people want Chapo not the help. There is an infinite amount of replacements for this character. When el grande was arrested he started giving shout outs. I wonder how much dirt Chapo has on politicans and armed forces to remain untouched for a whole decade???
ReplyDeleteWow he looks a lot older than his picture from the wanted posters. Atleast 5 years maybe 10 but then again all the shit they do and see will age you like crazy. I wouldn't be able to recognize him if I were to see him in the street.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if he was still with el chapo or against him cause all the reports seem to contradict each other. Im pretty sure he was still with el chapo and la gente nueva if not he wouldn't have set foot in culiacan. Also el chapo wouldn't turn him in to the army he would much rather have him dead and tortured if they were enemies.
You can't be a top CDS memeber and be arrested in Culiacan without the approval of either El Chapo or El Mayo, and thats a fact.
ReplyDeleteAlso J didn't you used to post on the street gangs forums under the "organized crime" category? Are you the user mjmc or something similar to it?
ReplyDeleteThanks for clearing that up 7:42, I didn't know if this was the Flaco from gente nueva that went rogue or not.
ReplyDelete@7;42
ReplyDeleteHe's not M10, you're confusing him with M11 who is also nicknamed "El Flaco" and is m10 brother, they use to be in charge of the Durango plaza. That's why they call this guy "El Flaco Salguiero" he actually was at war with he brothers M10 & M11 for the Durango plaza even though they both belonged the CDS.
October 5, 2011 6:56 PM I have not read that book, but that book was publish in 2003. Sense 2006 hundreds of people have been arrested for corruption, even some at the very top level including generals and interpol police.
ReplyDeleteWhen you say Generals and entire platoons are directed by cartels, you make it look like every one is corrupted and every one is getting paid by the cartels.
Some people have to follow orders just because the orders came from the top, nothing more.
In Mexico before Calderon the cartels worked with the corrupted officials for years and they had the protection of many branches of the government. Many people hired before 2006 have most likely worked for the cartels, but many of the ones hired after 2006 most likely are not working with the cartels.
Sense 2006 more than 20 of the 35 capos are dead or arrested and corrupted officials are getting arrested by the hundreds. The way I see it things are not they way they used to be.
Another move from chapo betraying his own people like always so the president that supports the sinaloa cartel could claim that he targets every cartel . Why do they keep on doing alliance with chapo ? Can't they work by themselves like el CAF ? I'm 100% CAF charging tXes and commission for every gram that passes by here ....ingeniero 10-5
ReplyDeleteel flaco looks like he packed on about 60 pounds and about 30 years since that wanted poster picture.
ReplyDeleteIs good that he was arrested, but what I want to know is, what will they do with him? Giving the history of prosecutions ratios and immate escapes in Mexico this guy will be on the streets in no time.
ReplyDeleteSomthing is up. Top cds leader aressted in culiacan, a headquarters for all the cds leaders. He mustve pissed someone off
ReplyDelete@9:05, exactly. You don't get arrested in Culiacan without "approval", especially when no shots were fired. Read between the lines folks, he either was turned in or turned himself in.
ReplyDeleteI live in mocorito sin. This guy got kick out of cds bcuz he was try to sale drugs n chapo did not give him the word and rumor is he turn him self in bcuz it was a hit on him los antrax were look for like for to mouths but thats the rumors around her
ReplyDeleteIs El flaco da big boss of la gente nueva? or someone else?
ReplyDeleteEl M11 is the one who is still loyal to El Chapo. He run's Los M's and Gente Nueva in Durango. He went to war with Flaco Salgueiro because he was trying to heat up the plaza in Durango. Other than that I guess El Chapo patched thing's up with Salgueiro and got him to trust him again. I guess that's why he felt it was safe to come to Culiacan. An other thing is that Salgueiro was only the boss of Gente Nueva in Juarez. The real top head boss for Gente Nueva is no other than El 1. He is also believed to be in Culiacan or Mazatlan.
ReplyDeleteYeah flaco was the top dog of la Gente Nueva,this is probably a big blow,unless he wasnt even with Chapo anymore,and this means nothing to the CDS,kinda like Nacho Coronel who more in a way operated independently and just had friendship with chapo,same with mayo,Azul.
ReplyDeleteOctober 6, 2011 9:16 AM exactly. You don't get arrested in Culiacan without "approval"
ReplyDeleteWow I didn't know the government have to get permission from the criminals to arrest some one.
WTF!!!Wheres the interrogation Video!!!!This guy must have so much information.Get it out of him,Freakin Mexican Goverment only interrogates people when they want.It is said That El Flaco Salgueiro had constant communication with Ivan Archivaldo Guzman and was a close friend,chapos oldest son.
ReplyDeleteDid they seriously try to make the arrest bigger then it really is,Yes this guy is big,but comparing him to a Boss,unquestionable Drug lord Status like the one only a few ppl have in mx,like Nacho Coronel,is just dumb,or Mayo,Chapo,Vicente Carillo,Beltran Leyvas,Arellano Felix.This guy would be more like la barbie,an armed wing or maybe like el Grande,He is or was nowhere near Nacho Coronel though.
ReplyDeleteThis low level halcone ain't nothing but hype...look at the reward they offered as proof..a measly 300k compared to millions for the big dogs...he was just a tick.
ReplyDeleteBREAKING NOW LARGE SHOOTOUT STAR COUNTY. MEXICANS AVOIDING THE GUNFIGHT CROSS INTO USA.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1L2WyaSRk14&feature=related
ReplyDeleteSo was it Flaco Salgueiro or M10 that left Chapo? Can anyone watch this video and tell me more about it? This is fucken confusing,
@ 3:36 PM...He was far from a low level halcone, but he is from CDS. His counterpart from CDJ was much more. Why is that?
ReplyDelete@Chamuko
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell is an army element? That's a literal translation my friend. Yo diría: " The mexican army Arrested Noel..." no hace falta traducir " elementos" porque eso no se utiliza de la misma manera en inglés. Mi humilde opinion. Gracias
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1L2WyaS el flaco split from el chapo recently?? i thought thats why that interrogation from Los M's came on
ReplyDeleteWho's the famous "El 1" of CDS?.
ReplyDeleteQuien es el afamado "1" del cartel de sinaloa?
@8:03 PM
ReplyDeletepues tu que eres mas chingon para traducir, por que no te pones tu.
October 6, 2011 5:26 PM On the video they only talk about heating up the plaza for los Mayos en Durango and the bosses of the ones who were about to die were Manual Meza - Felipe Cabrera - Noel Salgueiro - Manuel Yayes Soto
ReplyDeleteso who controls the plaza's in Durango, El Peinado, M10, M11, Mayos, Chapos, Maranos, Chachos, Mingos? I'm confused, or do they all have different territories?
ReplyDeleteThe Durango plaza is under "M11" who's also nicknamed "El Flaco" and his brother "M10", who control "Gente Nueva" & "Los M's" in Durango,which are mainly ex cops and ex military.. "M11" & "M10" were at war against "El Flaco Salguiero" an his cell of "Gente Nueva" from Chihuhua over the Durango plaza because "El Flaco Salguiero" was trying to expand his control into Durango, even though they both belonged to CDS. Who's the main leader of "Gente Nueva", I know the call him "El 1" but I'm not sure if it's Manuel Torres-Felix "El M1"
ReplyDelete5 48 marranos is what enemies call los m's, likea when they call zetas zetacuachez or golfas for cdg. Not sure who runs it. M10 and m11 also run or ran mazatlan for chapo. There's to many groups loyal to cds I'm not sure who runs what. Los mingos are are no joke out there though. Know they've beat up on a lot of juarez people and stopped a lot of zeta incursions from torreon.
ReplyDeleteEl 1, M11, and Peinado control most of the plazas from cuidad de Durango, Canatlan, Patos, Chinacates, Santiago, Tepe, Topia, Cieniga, Topia, y Canelas.
ReplyDelete@7:43
ReplyDeleteI know the call him "El 1" but I'm not sure if it's Manuel Torres-Felix "El M1"
No, El M1, works for El Mayo. He's based out of Culiacan Sinaloa. El M1 and los Antraxare the armed wing of El Mayo Zambada.
El Flaco is el F-1 o el 11. This guy wasn't just some chump. He wasn't very proclaimed via the news and corridos but for the last 6-7 years he reigned chaos in Chihuhua for la linea and CDJ. That being said. The whole thing is weird, how he was popped. In Culiacan, no security, no shots fired. Supposedly he had family there and estates like all the narcos for CDS but why would he leave his strong hold in Chihuahua? I don't buy the whole Chapo flipped him ordeal. He was a heavy pusher, shipping tons of weight north for CDS and overseeing GN in Chihuahua. A guy who has been doing this since the 90's isn't just some other narco.
ReplyDeleteValla asta que hacen algo productivo para el pais...que el chapo ..que el flaco ...que mamadas son esas ...todos esos cabrones son ojetes robando de la pobre jente humilde... Y los pendejos que trabajan para ellos nadamas lambiendole los huevos..manchandose las manos mientras los segun chingones jefes ahi namas dando ordenes! A toda esta bola de cabrones les faltan huevos ..porque si los tuvieran no nesesitarian formar carteles para protejerse ...es una tristesa ver como estan desperdisiando lo bueno que tiene nuestro pais ...como el sistema es corrupto .....la verdad valen verga ! Lo que deverian de hacer es en cuanto los capturen ..matenlos jente de esa para que la quieren viva o presa ...la mierda que ae valla por un poso ....alomejor la culpa la tenemos nosotros por dejar que estos ojetes impongan su autoridad ..hay mas jente de honesta en este mundo que de eso tipo de mierdas....asi que ojala que lo desaparescan a ese perro
ReplyDeleteOK. First of all, this guy is El Flaco Salguario and he was born in the Mexican state of Chihuahua and worked under El Chapo after betraying the Carrillo Fuentes Cartel when it split.... El Flaco that took over Chihuahua is part of Los M's from Durango. His Brother M10 is in charge of La Plaza De Durango, El Flaco or El M11 is a founder of Gente Nueva which is like saying New Blood. El Flaco that got captured had a personal beef with M11 so El Flaco Salguario Le Calento La Plaza or " He Made the block hot" in the state of Durango to M10 and el Flaco/M11 so the Military operations would be intensified. This site punished the Story where they left out a message directed to a Salguario and another, and was sponsored by M's and G.N. and it had the frequency M11... Jajaja Of course he was turned inn by El Chapo, he was bad for buissness and Los M's and G.N. had control of what they call the Golden Triangle which includes The three states of Chihuahua, Durango and Sinaloa this people is the Drug Supper Highway or an American Artery .... G.N.
ReplyDelete@ December 16, 2011 1:55 PM .Hermano,thanks for clearing it up a little,the blanket,video,same name,can confuse people.I think he was told to jump,or was given up.Wasn't he getting hunted anyway.El M1 El Ondeado,is of the Felix Torres family,brother of Javier Torres Felix El JT of CDS,for anyone confused.
ReplyDeletethis is not a big blow to the sinaloa cartel cuz they were looking for hem to kill hem cuz hi was no good to them nomore.. he wanted el chapo dead and he found out about it.. so this is all bull shit news.. after el chapo found out this guy lost hes power in the sinalo cartel..
ReplyDelete
