The capture of Inés Coronel Barreras, father in law
of Chapo Guzmán, in Sonora, last April 30, apparently was not the result of
intelligence work of Mexican federal agencies in charge of anti-drug trafficking operations, it was the
result of information and work conducted by the DEA.
This is the information confided to Proceso by Mexican and American agents. The arrest was an attempt by the DEA to win favor of the Pena Nieto administration that would win support allowing them to continue operating freely in México, as it was in the Calderón administration.

Operation Father-In-law Was a Gift from DEA to México
Intelligence agents from both Mexico and the US have unequivocally confirmed to
Proceso that the capture of Inés
Coronel Barreras, father in law of Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán, leader of Sinaloa Cartel,
was a gift from DEA to the government of Enrique Peña Nieto.
“Coronel
Barrera was located by the DEA and the information given to the government of
President Peña Nieto with the purpose of opening the doors for the United
States intelligence agencies that have been slammed shut by Peña”, said a
Mexican intelligence agent, who lives in Agua Prieta, a city adjacent to
Douglas, Arizona.
“Do you think
the arrest of Chapo’s father-in-law was a surgical operation?” The Mexican agent
asked.
“Maybe the DEA
gave it to the Navy [Marina] on silver platter so afterwards the Army, Secretariat
of Government and PGR can hang a medal” (take credit).
Sleep of residents
was suddenly interrupted by commotion caused by speeding federal vehicles and
the blades of the Tomahawk helicopter, that was supporting them, flying at low altitude,
according to the accounts by sources, communicated to the reporter.
More than 250
soldiers, marines and federal police that arrived at dawn to this location of
Agua Prieta entered to several homes conducting quick inspections.
“And to
everybody’s surprise, including local authorities, who were not informed about
the operation, after two hours and five minutes (at 7:45 am) the more than 250
federal agents, as well as the helicopter disappeared leaving the town in astonishment
who did even not know what had ensued”.
The invasion
and quick exit of the numerous groups of uniformed men left the town stunned residents.
It’s because before this morning, in this part of Sonora nothing happened, or
at least nothing spectacular, it was considered a “safe and totally controlled
plaza” because of the power structure of Sinaloa Cartel.
It was not
until noon when the people of Agua Prieta began spreading the rumor that
federal agents had captured the “troublesome relative” of El Chapo (that’s how people in Sonora refer to
Coronel Barrera).
At 4:00 pm of
the same day, Eduardo Sánchez, sub secretary of Norms and Media of the
Secretariat of Government, announced in a press conference that the Mexican
authorities had captured the father in law of the leader of the Sinaloa Cartel.
The government of Peña Nieto announced; the arrest was made without gun fire
due to the effectiveness of the Mexican intelligence system that had located
the alleged drug trafficker.
The narrative of the
events in Agua Prieta are that about an hour after the federal officers left,
from several areas of almost the entire state of Sonora, about 80 vehicles
(mostly trucks) full of armed men quickly headed in several directions towards
the mountains.
"It was the
chiefs of the plaza that El Chapo and El Mayo (Ismael Zambada Garcia) have in
the entire state, says one of the witnesses that spoke under the condition of
anonymity.
It all started in Colombia
“Was it the DEA who
located Coronel Barreras in Agua Prieta?” An intelligence agent of the United
States, who requested anonymity, was asked.
“What I can say is
that the government of the United States had time to investigate and follow the
tracks of Coronel Barreras in Sinaloa, Durango, Sonora and South America”.
Pressuring him
to explain further in the case of the father-in-law of the leader of the
Sinaloa Cartel, the agent specializing in Mexican drug trafficking explains
that it all started at the beginning of 2012 with a DEA investigation focused
on the Colombian Jorge Milton Cifuentes Villa.
According to
DEA website, Cifuentes Villa is leader of an organization dedicated to traffic
cocaine.
“Cifuentes’s
organization amassed a great fortune in money and illicit properties, as one of
the main providers of cocaine to the Sinaloa Cartel”, reads on a page of the
DEA.
The American agent reveals that in several
intelligence reports written by DEA about the Cifuentes Villa Organization, the
name Coronel Barreras came up.
"He is identified
as the contact person of El Chapo and the person in charge of the
transportation of cocaine shipments that originated from several points of
South America to Central America and México", he clarifies.

On February 13 of
this year, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the Department of
Treasury of the United States designated Cifuentes Villa – who also has Mexican
nationality- “most significant drug trafficker”.
With this label, Washington applied sanctions, confiscated properties and froze bank accounts that belonged to Cifuentes Villa or associated to him, which were under United States jurisdiction.

OFAC maintains that
Cifuentes is owner of 15 companies that operate in Colombia, Mexico and
Ecuador.
“Coronel Barrera was under
surveillance by DEA, it’s true, which
was confirmed a little more than a month ago, when in Ecuador a shipment of
four tons of cocaine was seized that Cifuentes Villa was sending to Mexico”,
says the agent.
[Cifuntes Villa was captured in Venezuela and extradited to Colombia in 2012, his sister Dolly
Cifuentes Villa was extradited to the United States in August of 2012. Dolly’s daughter, Ana Maria Uribe Cifuentes
was also arrested. The arrest of Ana
Maria caused uproar in Colombia as it became known she is the niece of Álvaro Uribe former president of
Colombia.
The president declared he had no knowledge of any relationship to Ana Maria. Uribe’s brother Jaime is said to be Ana Maria’s father, the former president scommented:
The president declared he had no knowledge of any relationship to Ana Maria. Uribe’s brother Jaime is said to be Ana Maria’s father, the former president scommented:
"My brother Jaime died in 2001, he was married to Astrid Velez, they
had two children ... Any other romantic relationship that my brother may have
had was part of his personal life and is unknown to me," Álvaro Uribe
tweeted. He denied Jaime was ever linked to the drug lord Pablo Escobar.

But according to the Nuevo Arco Iris investigation, Jaime Uribe was arrested and interrogated by the army in 1986 after detectives discovered calls had been made from his car phone to Escobar, leader of the Medellín cartel.]

“Was it a shipment
for the Sinaloa Cartel?”
“Not only that. The
contact person for the shipment of cocaine was Coronel Barreras. This was
confirmed by the people arrested at the time of the confiscation of the drug. The
suspects arrested include Colombian and Mexicans” replied the agent.
DEA, according to the
source, convinced the authorities of Ecuador to keep secret the news of the cocaine
seizure “because the detainees agreed to provide additional information in
exchange for a reduction in penalties that they would confront in Ecuador,
their native country, or the United States, if they were extradited”.
Avoiding revealing
more details of the case, because he affirms a continued investigation remains open
about other figures of the Sinaloa Cartel, the American agent says that thanks
to the confiscation of the cocaine shipment in Ecuador, DEA was able get to the
localization of Coronel Barreras.
“It was determined
that he moved around the border of Sonora, and that he was in charge of the
crossing of marijuana, heroin, methamphetamines and cocaine through the south
border of Arizona”, he added.
“So you maintain it
was DEA then who gave him to the Mexican government?”
“The intelligence
agencies of the United States continue cooperating extensively with the Mexican
government in the fight against drug trafficking. And there is a lot of trust
in the Mexican Navy [Marina], which has demonstrated to be a most effective
entity to capture drug lords “, he
affirms, barely able to hold back a smile.

On their part, the Mexican officer reiterates that
it was DEA who turned in the father-in-law of El Chapo to the government of
Peña Nieto. “That is why there was no shooting”, he says.
“There is no communication with DEA, Secretariat of
Government has them completely isolated, with the argument that the
relationship is being revised as well as the cooperation in the fight against
drug trafficking. That is why DEA passed the information directly to Navy, not
even the Army”, he points out.
Since December 1st of last year,
when Peña Nieto acquired office, his government closed doors that Felipe Calderón
had opened to the intelligence agencies of the United States (Proceso 1904).
During the last president term, DEA, CIA, FBI,
Pentagon and Department of Treasury had authorization to spy, operate and
investigate under the shelter of the Bi-National Offices of Intelligence
created for the security of the Initiative Mérida.
“The DEA agents are desperate because they don’t
have anyone to turn to in the government of Peña Nieto, with the exception of
the Navy, in which they trust blindly. DEA hopes that with the assistance in
the case of Chapo’s father in law, things might change. I doubt it. Although it
was very symbolic that Coronel Barrera fell just a few days before the Obama’s
arrival to Mexico”, says the American agent.
On Wednesday 1st, sub secretary Sánchez
said that Coronel Barrera, of 45 years of age, was captured in a residence that
operated as a warehouse, where the Federal Police found 255 kilos of marijuana,
2 trucks, 4 long and 1 short gun, several chargers and dozens of cartridges.
Besides the father in law of el Chapo, Inés Omar
Coronel Aispuro (son of Coronel Barreras and as well as brother in law of the
leader of Sinaloa Cartel), Juan Elías Ruiz Beltrán, José Heriberto Beltrán Cárdenas
and Reynaldo Ríos Morales were also captured.
“The capture is the result of the work of
intelligence of the government of the Republic. Their arrest took place
approximately at 7:00 am without any gun fire”, affirmed Sánchez
Two families
The leadership structure of the Sinaloa
Cartel in Sonora is controlled by two families. According to the description
given by the agents and public employees of the United States and México, the control
of the plaza are maintained by the Paredes Machado and Salazar families, which
are led by Jesús Alfredo Salazar “El Indio”.
Since the eighties, these two families
–with Chapo’s absolute trust- are in charge of monitoring the transportation of drugs coming mainly from Sinaloa to the strategic points of
Sonora: Agua Prieta, Sonorita, Sasabe, Naco, Nogales, San Luis Rio Colorado,
Costa Rica and Riito. To the south, Paredes Machado and Salazar family impose
their law in Imurís, Cananea, Caborca, Altar, Santa Ana, Esqueda, Puerto
Peñasco, Libertad, Guaymas, San Carlos and Bahía de Kino.
In the Paredes Machado family, El Goyo and
El 20 stand out as right hand men of Chapo and in charge of restraining Los
Zetas and The Beltrán Leyva in the entire state.
Although the Salazar family is native from
Chihuahua – whose strings with the Sinaloa Cartel were established by the patriarch, Adán Salazar Zamorano, “Don Adán”, they are considered by the people of Agua
Prieta as responsible for the atmosphere of peace and freedom that prevailed in
this city until the capture of the “troublesome relative”.
Don Adán, arrested by Federal
Police on February 15th 2011 in Querétaro, was the Sonora person in charge of border
crossing operations and the delivery of the drugs into Arizona. After his
arrest, the sons of Adán, Jesús Alfredo and Adán Salazar Ramírez, were in
charge of the operations of the Sinaloa Cartel in the state.
A "gift" to peña nieto and peña nietos gift to el chapo is his freedom
ReplyDeleteThe Mexico government is a joke. They ain't about shit
ReplyDeletePeña neto is Chapos bitch.
ReplyDeleteEverybody knows that when big bosses drop it is because American agents did their job. It is a American only venture no Mexicans are involved because they aren't good enough and them broke bitches start snitching. But we say they are involved because we are doing our business in Mexico and we wanna make them feel good about their bitch ass selves. God bless the USA
ReplyDeleteHahahaha your a joke, funny that you are blind to the fact that if someone from Mexico doesn't snitch then the US doesn't get Intel so they need Mexicans. Most of the time they are tipped by a rival cartel. So they are involed they just like to take all the credit and glorify there selves and say the reason they were caught was because of them but in reality the only reason is because someone snitched.. so get you facts straight but until you do go fuck yourself and your US intel..
DeleteThey all do shady deals the u.s the mexicans u name it.you wouldnt have any idea who the hell to trust just a whole lot of snitches is how they get their info.boy the narcos could learn a thing or two from the sicilians about staying silent they are the best in the game about that but i dont like none of them.hope they all get caught
DeleteSicilians are one of the reasons Snitching became as easy as it is now all the ones that wrote the so called code of honor forgot to follow it and the ones that did are dead or in jail. So to learn from Sicilians is to learn how to snitch and walk away free. Italian and Colombians perfected this..
Delete@12:34 nice one
DeleteMaybe the younger generation of them did but the old school ones back in the day didnt.there is a reason carlo gambino lived into his 70s and never set foot in a jail cell.he wouldnt give anything up and they could never make a case on him and god knows they tried.nowdays they all will cry uncle when their arm is twisted hard enough lol
DeleteDEA is with zetas now
DeleteYou're a dumbass if you really believe white boys are in mexico collecting intel! seriously.lol they get their intel from mexicans oh and you should read a bit on how the columbians killed escobar & how the u.s. tried to take a credit but not a single u.s. agent was there
DeleteMexico is a joke they say "America is a bunch of drug users" well in Mexico everybody is a drunk. alcohol and drugs is the somebullshit you jotos. You moricons
ReplyDeleteAre you talking about all Mexicans?? Cause if you are you can go fuck yourself .. interenet warrior.. not all Mexicans are drug users or drunks you piece of shit... you're the real joke

Deletesure but when they catch the wrong guy us wasnt involved lol
ReplyDeletemoney or power structure, hmm? in regards to what? like manufacturing goretex backpacks? get off the soapbox mr. sweetmeat
ReplyDeleteThe US does tend to take out who they want when they tire of them or when they want them to start eating their own without causing too much chaos from the infighting.
ReplyDeleteThe article states, the DEA was after a much bigger fish; a producer/supplier in Colombia, not so much traffickers in this instance. Coronel was simply a side toss as to his precise whereabouts.
Well, at least folks know who they can get info to without the normal corruption; the Mexican Marines who seem to be on the up and up.
England controls the US? Hahaha what a joke, everybody hates the US but when they start getting fucked by another country the big evil US fucking A will go in to save their asses. So if the situation gets even worse down their lets say idk Zetas start mass murdering everybody, im talking just starting a full on war against the people of Mexico, and what if the mexican governme cant handle it??
ReplyDeleteAre the corrupt, evil, drug addicted, Americans supposed to help?
No one wants your guys help,at the end after mass murdering children and innocents like the US army only knows how to do,it only makes it worse.US needs to find a way to fix or pay their debt and stop getting involved with other countries,theres a reason why Pena Nieto dont want you guys and the DEA still kisses his ass,how pathetic.

ReplyDeleteAmerica benefits from the drug war u stupid muthafucka... If there wasn't any drugs in the streets who loses jobs? Several government agency's !!!!!! Mexico has money but the rich don't want to help the poor, Mexico has the power to fight a real war against any cartel.... It's just the consequences that matter if they do that.... Bust chapo and the structure falls apart, everyone in Sinaloa will raise hell trying to become the boss.....
Why do u think its a living hell in Tamaulipas .... Osiel went to jail and the zetas lost respect for the Cardenas family and branched off
Load of clowns talkin nonsense about countries,go right ahead.
ReplyDeleteyes, we americans love to party, so what? we have the cash Mexicans have the stash. what we do with the drugs is our business, what mexicans do with the cash is their business. I don't give a shit mexican cartels are in a war. they can easily build cities, like the druglords did in Miami in the 80's. but no, they are a bunch of whacked out indians with no fucking formal education to think big and maybe one day retire.
