A joint operation with Police and Military captured Omar M.. "El Duende", alleged leader of a cell of the criminal group known as Los Viagras.
The Secretary of Public Security (SSP) informed that around 3pm Thursday, elements of the Michoacán Police and Sedena carried out a reconnaissance of the Vista Hermosa Colonia, located at the exit of the Acahuato community, and while travelling along Calle 20th of November came across a white Honda with two persons on board.
When the vehicles occupants noticed the presence of the military and police they fled the vehicle and escaped, but almost immediately were captured.
According to authorities, the van that men were travelling in had only one licence plate which did not correspond to the characteristics of the vehicle, and also had a changed chassis number.
Intelligence sources signalled that "El Duende", 25 years of age worked under the orders of the Sierra Santana brothers,, known as Los Viagra, who allegedly instructed them to carry out reconnaissance duties (Halcones) in order to advise them of the presence of operations in the zone.
The criminal group headed by Omar M in known in the structure of Los Viagras as "Duendes Cell", and has its base in this locality.
Omar and his accomplice, Raul V, 18 years of age, were put at the disposition of competent authorities.
Also put at their disposition were 5 packets of marijuana and 12 of crystal meth that were found in their clothes, as well as the vehicle in which they were travelling. Juan Bernado Corona Martinez, of the SSP, assured that in coordination with the three levels of Government, that these forces will work in a permanent manner in order to finish off the remnants of the criminal organization and guarantee the peace and order for Michoacanos.

Bs not a big leader of Viagras. Catch the Santana brothers and it would be a head of Viagras not this guy who is replaceble.
ReplyDelete@1:24 You are correct. A 25 year old in any narco group is still a nobody just barely managing a group of maybe 5 to 7 friends of his if that. As far as age is concerned a 30 year old narco who has been in the game for at least ten years is just moving up the ranks and becomes just a bit harder to replace. Following along a 40 year old narco who has been in the game at least 20 years now has the required experience and trust to truly let him have some power. This means he can have his own drugs and access to his own hitmen. Much older than this and been in the game since at least age 20 and you have the most knowledgeable of all narcos and work in sub divided groups within the cartels. Of course this just applies to drug movers not neccesarily hitmen for all narcos are not hitmen some are the brains of the organizations to which they belong. Then of course there are few exceptions and top narcos kids do not follow this trend either. This is just an observation I, have noticed living next to cd Juarez Mexico and having been and observer (though not participant), in this drug game for at least the past 15 years or so.
DeleteSee the cops turn theirbbacks? Cowards.
Delete@5:18 I agree
Deleteu must be a user then...if not then i would keep your nose out of it...
Delete@6:01 you don't have to snoop around (or inhale shit), to know and observe stuff when you live this close to the border to know a thing or two about narcos my friend. A lot of shit you can read from local newspapers and TV news and form patterns yourself. Other observations you hear from people conversing who might really know someone involved in the drug game and also draw conclusions based on that. All this without any names mentioned and detective work involved. This is just the life along the Mexican border for some of us that travel between U.S. and Mexican cities. There are thousands of us that do this every week if not everyday.
Deletemore viagras. jokes.
ReplyDeleteThe viagras will be viagras hasta que se les pare la cola.
DeleteYer welcome.
What is the point the of the Mexican govt releasing these perp walk photos when they blur out the offender's whole face?
ReplyDelete"Look we caught someone!"
"Who is it?"
"Don't worry we caught them!"
they may not have been officially charged with a crime yet
DeleteI agree with you 100%. Why would you 'parade' them and cover their faces? Could it be because the censorship from the cartels? At one point the biggest censorship came from the government, but now it comes from the Cartels. They are so "sensitive", and I mean this with the most respect and truly apologize if I offend someone, it is not my intention.
Deletethey seem like petty lowlifes hustlers, but if your in their possession, they might as we be God.
ReplyDeleteNot even his family knows who this guy is. He's no one
DeletePor que les tapan las caras a los criminals ?
ReplyDelete2:10 pa protegerlos de las viejas preguntonas.
DeleteAll that personnel, gear and firepower to catch 2 kids in polo shirts, case closed I guess.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile the REAL heads of the Viagras are walking around Michoacan untouched, strapped to the teeth with help from government and their rurales.
ReplyDeleteTrue
Deleteto me they look like two guys randomly picked up on the street
ReplyDeleteRight? LOL the barriers to entry in the narco world are low
DeleteFrankly, these perps look like they ran out of tortas y sodas for the police, an unforgivabe act of terror...
DeleteBut any criminal priista politician like javier duarte, sharply dressed in his designer suits that won't cover his whale belly, then there is the murderous niño verde, another sharp dressed untouchable "narco-senator"
"El Duende" Omar M, 25 years old and his accomplice Raul V, 18 a pair of grameros are not the ones murdering friend and foe all over michoacan, or who incarcerated Dr Mireles and la chapa on trumped up charges, and they also killed nobody on Ostula, tanhuato, apatzingan, nooo, the ones that should have been arrested are all hiding under the petticoats of the military zone commander and the PRI popoliticians
ReplyDeleteLol, the "elf"?
ReplyDeleteDuendes in mexico are more like little ghosts, big ghosts are fantasmas, aka phantoms, elves are more like Santa's little helpers, they don't go around scaring little girls panties off them like ghosts do.
DeleteThis elf wasn't helping or going "boo", this one was into drogas.
DeleteJust a hand out from the Santana brothers, and an abysmal one to say the least..
ReplyDeleteCouple of dimebags of ice and some weed?
Kids!
ReplyDeleteThe Michoacanos have the best apodos/nicknames LOL
ReplyDeleteEl Duende = The Dwarf
I guess his henchman didn't have a nickname yet so call him El Cualquier Pendejo LOL
If he was from sinaloa he would have been onother chapo. Do chapo trini, el chapo guzman, El chapo de sinaloa, El chapo isidro, El chapo de la chingada.... lol
DeleteHey homez duende is a cool name ese don't hate

ReplyDeleteI must of missed it when it first came out.
I just read it, it's interesting but "el gordo" is sly as they come. Sounds like chapo when he got caught the first time "I'm not a drug dealer I grow beans" lol.. Santana is not as innocent as he said, he works for CJNG that's who gets them guns and cash to fight of the templarios and la nueva familia. Onother reason why cjng is stronger than ever
DeleteEl pitufo, who used to hang with Dr Mireles and the AutoDefensas cupola is a brother in law of el chango mendez, a son of La Changa was also with the AD, and "casually" they both jumped ship when Dr Mireles had his accident in the plane owned by the largest drug trafficker from tierra cliente, Miguel Angel Gallegos Godoy, who also don't know nothing about anything, but in jalisco, the one making weapons was then La Mencha, his mechanical production computerized machine tools to make guns were found, now we all know they were allied with viagras, H3, mexican federal government, policia nazional and the military...and colombian policia nazional general Oscar Naranjas, expert assesor of alvaro uribe velez on loan to epn, in company of computer election vote hackers, the whole chamber pot of 💩 💩 💩
ReplyDeletestinks to high heavens, they also tought Dr Mireles ass was up for sale and that hey could buy or bury him
