Mexico's Federal Police announced the capture of an important Sinaloa cartel capo in a press conference held by Ramón Eduardo Pequeño, head of the anti-narcotics division.
The suspect was presented to the press and identified as José Antonio Torres Marrufo, alias 'El Marrufo' or 'El Jaguar', head of la Gente Nueva in Chihuahua and reportedly the Sinaloa cartel's top man in Ciudad Juarez.
The suspect was arrested Friday at a residence in the city of Leon, Guanajuato. Also arrested was a personal bodyguard, Manuel Alonso Magaña Barajas. Also seized were four weapons, radio equipment, a small amount of methamphetamine and fraudulent media credentials and voter registration cards.
Pequeño emphasizied in the press conference that the arrest of El Marrufo was a significant blow to the structure of the Sinaloa cartel headed by Chapo Guzman.
El Marrufo was responsible for drug trafficking operations as well as other organized criminal activities such as kidnapping, extortion and the murder of persons associated with rival criminal groups, in particular those belonging to the Juarez cartel such as Los Aztecas and La Linea.
Among the murders linked to El Marrufo is the mass homicide that occurred on September, 2009, at a drug rehab center in Ciudad Juarez known as the Centro de Rehabilitación El Aliviane. Eighteen residents were killed in that raid carried out by the Artistas Asesinos, a gang of hitmen that El Marrufo headed at the time. The Artistas Asesinos operate in Chihuahua under the Gente Nueva umbrella.
El Marrufo became the operational head of la Gente Nueva in Chihuahua after the arrest of Noel Salgueiro "el Flaco Salgueiro" in October, 2011.
The suspect is also wanted in the United States for drug trafficking and was the recipient of high powered weapons smuggled into Mexico as a result of the ATF's operation Fast and Furious gun walking operation.
A more indepth report posted by Havana can be read in the Forum section.

ReplyDeleteFebruary 4, 2012 7:26 PM You know how I notice you are a Zeta supporter? You don't know how to write.
ReplyDeleteUncalled for AND funny!
Delete"El Marrufo!" First time I ever heard of this guy. Gente Nueva has been taking a beating like a red headed step child. I definetly would not want the top position of this glorified crew. They are dropping like flies. It does make you think though, with the elections coming up and PRI leading the race, Calderon promised he would capture El Chapo before his presidency ended. Maybe these blows will have to suffice, with Chapo's okay of course.
ReplyDeletePinches maruchanez luego luego se excitan cuando cae gente nueva, Pero de todos modos se los carga la verga Putos..... De tanto ke se excitan luego kieren Darle el culo alos federales, por eso ke le disen Zorras..

DeleteThis is proof that leyzola is in fact working with CDS. this is a cover up story for the Nuevo Cartel de Juarez to believ that hes not with sinaloa nymore. In the cartel buiseness usually the SMALL take the FALL n the government puts a big name on a small guy such as "Leader of Gente Nueva" Jus like they caught the leader of El Chapo's security, yeeah BULLSHIT. people,, dont believe everything yu hear.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to read there's smart people like u my friend
DeleteIt's tight shirt night in Leon, Gto. Lookin' good dude!
ReplyDeleteFebruary 4, 2012 7:26 PM You know how I notice you are a Zeta supporter? You don't know how to write. Don't beat around the bush,tell him how you really feel.Man you gonna hurt his feelings saying that.You so cruel,and heartless,did he spell something wrong too,i,m so grateful that we have spellcheckers on here like you.Dayuumm boy,yousa biotch,ya heard mea.
ReplyDeleteso if he was leader of GN in juarez. who is the leader of GN in durango, GN leader in sinaloa ,and GN leader in sonora, and over all who is the real leader of the whole GN in mexico. so who do guys think will be the new leader of GN in juarez
ReplyDeleteRemember that Narcomanta saying to Leyzaola that if he doesnt start arresting people equally in Cd Juarez that they will kill an officer per day.?It seems like Leyzaola decided to start capturing criminals from both sides,(as to only capturing people of Cartel de Juarez.)or maybe Marrufo had something to do with the killings of those members of a music band,since they are scared to go against La Linea.Thats one of my favorite corridos.
ReplyDeleteAaa como seran pendejos todos los que han opinado antes de mi en el mismo texto dice que el tomo el control de la "gente nueva" despues de la captura del flaco salgueiro el flaco salgueiro por si no lo sabian cuando lo atraparon ya no era parte del cartel de sinaloa de hecho la misma gente del cartel de sinaloa lo handaban buscando para matarlo ya que el empezo hacer las mismas mamadas que hacen los zetas secuestrar extorcionar robar entre otras que la gente del cartel de sinaloa tienen prohibido hacer y el gobierno cuando atrapan a estas personas los presentan ante la opinion publica como gente del cartel de sinaloa para taparle el ojo al macho y que la gente piense que estan atacando a todos los carteles por igual. Igual como lo hacian en un principio presentaban a gente de los beltran leyva como del cartel de sinaloa cuando ya era bien sabido en el bajo mundo que habia guerra entre ellos y. Que obiamente ya no estan unidos. El gobierno lo hace por ellos que saben que la mayoria de la gente incluidos la mayoria de los medios de comunicacion no tienen ni idea de lo que esta pasando en esta guerra ni cuales son los nombres de los que participan en ella
ReplyDeletethat's a nice modified MP5

ReplyDeleteits true
This article should have been titled...
ReplyDelete"DHS looses another asset in its war against the second amendment."
It should have opened with...
"DHS asset José Antonio Torres Marrufo, alias 'El Marrufo' or 'El Jaguar', head of la Gente Nueva in Chihuahua and reportedly the Sinaloa cartel's top man in Ciudad Juarez, armed with weapons supplied by DHS, was captured by the mexican military."
Yet another dopey eyed gangster exposed in the bright light.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to believe that such underwhelming people are holding such a great nation hostage with their thuggery.
There will be a reckoning....and this loser will pay for his wickedness.
As a US citizen it is sad to admit our drug problem in my country. Over 30 million addicts keep the money and death in Mexico and in the US. The drug users are too responsible for the deaths in Mexico. How do we solve a drug problem? Easy, either make all drugs legal or send the 30 million plus users to rehab. If not then this problem will continue to grow. But for the innocent people in Mexico, fear not for God is starting to intervene on ur behalf. U guys have record drought and cold freezing weather. Don't be surprised if a big earthquake will come ur way. I don't say this to fear u, but to encourage u that there is time for u to make things right. And if the cartel members are reading this, then that mean u too can repent and make things right. For it is that Christ chose u, u did not chose him. If u don't take to heart this warning, then His wrath will be upon u and when it does, u will then wish u listen to what I have just said.
ReplyDeleteFirst few sentences were good... Then you had to pull the religious card.
DeleteIf americans are to blame (which they are as much as Mexicans are) then these wrath of god weather conditions will be here.
Try going some unbiased reading on global weather changes. Seriously. I am not denouncing god, I am saying educate yourself some.
I like the Scarface poster in the picture of the weapons seizure. Looks like chapo on the $100 bill.
ReplyDeleteBetter someone to respect out of honor then to have someone be respected for being an asshole. If he is cartel then he should NOT be glorified. INHO
Delete8:06 ese Guey es igual de culo! El marruffo mandava en juarez i porke se fue asta leon pinchi gn culos!!
ReplyDeleteThose first two weapons are classy! Heckler & Koch- dude is spending the big bucks!
ReplyDeleteWeapons should never be considered classy.
Delete1:36
ReplyDeleteMexicans are responsible for their own mess. It sounds like you're just another Mexican blaming your country's problems on the US.
US is a big part of the problem. Not the whole problem but if you heard the arguments and listen to them honestly then you would understand more.
DeleteGoogle it.
1:36 yeah you should be like 5:01 or 5:55 and stop all the nonsense.

ReplyDeleteMejor comete un maruchan de camarones con chile Tamponlipazzz
Dam!!!! The dude looks all Methed OUT! ! ...What a sicko
ReplyDeleteWHAT THE FUCK... Putting all these lame fanboy comments aside, what is the real deal with the GN. the M's, and the rest of these Durango crews? The M's release a video last year calling out Felipe Cabrera (in the Vicente Zambada indictment) and el Flaco Salguiero (who was clearly not part of the Gente Nueva crew anymore) calling them out for kidnapping and extortion. Media and Borderland Beat reports they both held high ranking positions in the Chapo crew... Then who the hell runs the M's?
ReplyDeleteI like how so many people comment on here and they have NO understanding of how Mexico works (the politics, the courts, the militares, the police, and even the truly protected cartel leaders). You people just dont know the way it works in Mexico. You obviously dont understand the jails, the prison guards, the judges, all of it.....All I will say is that there is a reason CDS leaders go down without a fight sometimes. And yes believe it or not people sometimes these busts are arranged and agreed to so they can do their dog and pony show and everyone can say "wow Im glad that scumbag will be in prison forever" but you have no clue how things work in mexico for people who have the right connections.
ReplyDeleteEl Lobo---PURO SINALOA GN
Then teach us instead. Help us understand where you seems so knowledgable about. Turn that preaching into teaching. Enlighten us!
DeleteWe hear about all these scum getting arrested but never hear anything about being Prosecuted and Sentenced to life in Prison , Better off Killing them ...I wonder Why Why Why !! ??
ReplyDeleteWonder if this guy is an FBI informant---Could be that Congressman Darrell I. had Mexico do a end run around DOJ to have mexico pick this guy up for questioning amoung other things.
ReplyDeleteEl mero mero de la gente nueva es el m100 gente!!!!
