Yesterday the Federal Police detained in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco a Víctor Manuel Pérez Rico "El Pantera 16" or “El Comandante Viento", who is one of the regional leaders of the Gulf Cartel that is identified as a generator of violence in Tamaulipas.

Renato Sales Heredia, National Commissioner of Security, said that the capture of Pérez Rico, one of the priority objectives of the Federal Government, is the result of an investigation and tracking for over six months in Tamaulipas, Guanajuato, and Jalisco.

"The work of the Federal Police, in coordination with the Attorney General of Justice of the Government of Tamaulipas, discovered that the target settled in the city of León, Guanajuato, from where he directed his criminal operations", said Sales.

Upon determining that he was located in a low risk zone, the federal agents apprehended him without a single shot, added the commissioner.

According to the official, "El Comandante Viento" is an former municipal police officer that is wanted for crimes against health, organized crime, homicide, kidnapping, extortion, fuel theft, and livestock theft.  In addition, he is identified as allegedly responsible for the drug trafficking logistics to the United States border.

Currently the suspect has accumulated three arrest orders in Tamaulipas, for which last night he was transferred to Ciudad Victoria to be place at the disposition of local judges.

33 years old and originally from Reynosa, Pérez Rico joined the Municipal Police in 2007 when the now governor of Tamualipas Francisco Javier Garcia Cabeza de Vaca was the mayor of that city, he belonged to the Group of Immediate Reaction, however sometime later he deserted and joined the ranks of the Gulf Cartel to which he was already a member during his service as a police officer.

According to information from the Federal Police, the former agent rose through the ranks of organized crime until he became the regional leader in the municipalities of Aldama, Soto la Marina, Abasolo, and Jiménez.

  4. He was living in León, Guanajuato and just on vacation in Vallarta. H was being low key and not with an entourage, no real need for permission to be there. PV been a neutral area, playground for the bosses up until the Chapitos kidnapping.

    This is one of those "real" police work captures.
    *Chapo did not snitch and 007 was not responsible.
