Subject Matter: Journalists, Los Chapitos, Villa Juarez
Recommendation: No prior subject matter knowledge required
An armed group of Ivan Archivaldo Guzman, son of El Chapo Guzman, detained and assaulted Al Jazeera journalists when confusing them with another delinquent group linked to Damaso Lopez "El Licenciado", in Villa Juarez, Navolato.
The group of journalists were held for 45 minutes and were later released after the armed group realized their mistake. However the journalists were stripped of their vehicles, work tools and cell phones, and then set free in a field a kilometer from the Villamoros community.
The victims had arrived in Sinaloa to work on a report on agricultural workers and violence, but in the course of carrying out their work were intercepted by the armed group.
According to Noroeste, the journalists contacted the agency in Washington, where they requested assistance from the Federal Police, who contacted the Army to transfer them to Culiacan, where they are filing a complaint with Public Prosecutors Office.
Hours later, the Attorney Generals Office reported that the State Preventative Police located their vehicle in an area near the Costa Rican union, in which the video recording equipment of the journalists was found.

DeleteLos chapitos cleaning house. Mencho y Damaso, beware. Papi taught them well.
ReplyDeleteKeep dreaming buddy
DeleteLos chapitos paranoid
Delete@12:46 you got that right them two fools if theyre lucky they'll end up on the receiving end of a cuernito or worse they'll end up in jail in the US OF A..
DeleteAwesome! I don't believe everything I read anyway as it seems that people are constantly trying to blame Guzman for shit thats not true
Delete@12:46 being paranoid in that bizz is exactly how u Must be! Better safe than sorry the ones that get comfortable and see things easy are the ones that truly don't last. Picking up Those reporters actually shows they on there toes and alert.
DeleteIF, a big IF, if the reporters had been caught by genarco garcia luna or any other epn sicario, they would have got cogidos in the ass and they and their car would be in some narcofosa somewhere in Paracuachútaro.
Delete--CDS shows some decency again, they are into aguachiles, not into menudos ot carniasadas.
Sinaloa Civil War! Why are cartels their own worst enemy? No other cartel or government will ever do as much damage to any given cartel than their own internal fighting
ReplyDeleteIt's worse when it's personal
DeleteThey say "Plata o Plomo"
Deletebut a carrot dangling from a stick
usually does the trick,
Then it is the trickster's turn to exit the never ending story and it is a pity that the main puppeteers ever get caught.
Blithely waltzing around while a plaza war is raging,not only that,they look like sicarios with their equipment?
ReplyDelete@5:21 q no...lucky they didn't get shot on sight where im from they shoot first an ask questions later..
DeleteAl Jazeera reporters look like Al Qaedas, maybe they expect people to just se abran a la verga...
DeleteAt least they got out alive, no?
Lucky boys!
ReplyDeleteIf other group had caught the Al Jazeera reporter and company they could be buried by now.
Maybe in their world the "chapitos" still believe in some decency.
Mis respetos para ivan archivaldo me toco tratarlo aya en las vegas todo un tipaso nadien como esa clika
DeleteYou are so stupid but it is your right to be
DeleteThey were international journalist that's why they were freed cause killing them would have attracted heat on Chapo's sons cartel. Chapos sons cartel are decent people is the biggest joke. Chapos sons are brats and showoffs who have no respect for anyone.
DeleteLos Chapitos sean lo que sean si se portan bien con la gente en sus terrenos. Yo sé por qué en un rancho cercano a Culiacán tengo familia y una noche estaban pistiando y cotorreando y dejaron ir unos tiros de un R. En chinga llegaron gente del Archi a investigar nomas pidieron que pararan con los tiros y que tengan buenas noches. Pero si le advirtió Ahorita si andan con todo dando chingasos y levantando a cuál quier desconocido. Se portan bien y los dejan ir con vida, no son mata-inocentes pero tampoco son santos.
DeleteDecency has nothing to go with it 5:57. Los Chapitos are scared shitless of the Mexican government. They know all too well what happens when you piss them off or you make them look like fools in the international press. Remember how the Chapitos cried when they were implicated in the El Kevin rescue or when they left the letter behind saying Damaso ambushed them. Be prepared for another plea to the Mexicans Feds advising they had nothing to do with the kidnapping and assaults of the journalist through their attorney. Just like they did with the Mexican military ambush.
DeleteThe Guzmans are very decent people. The other cartels are animals. for once please just say the way it truly is.
Deleteyou guys can talk shit all you want however Chapitos got it going on!
DeleteCarrillos lost navolato, beltrans lost los mochis
ReplyDeleteBeltran lost los mochis jahaka yeah right . Theres no way chapo isidro would allow that ...yes CDS had been advancing to take los mochis before chapo got caught, all because chapo isidro was being hunted down by all levels of law enforcement and Mexican Marines nut after chapo got caught and the heat cool dowm on chapo isidro his people are running the plaza right now as we speak
DeleteChap isidro ain't even in sinaloa let alone with beltrans
DeleteDamn, those chapitos are NOT going to last.. fucking up bad..
ReplyDeleteFucking up is killing them idiot chapitos took over navolato...i know everybody wants there downfall but its not going to happen haters
DeleteChapos sons are scared they know they're gona die soon
ReplyDeleteI hope they put the video up for his daddy the snitch to see
DeleteChapo will snitch on his own kids, it's second nature to him and he derives pleasure from it.
DeleteLol 11:23
DeleteHaters be salty ivan archivaldo is a straight up boss
DeleteThey're lucky los chapitos are on their shit because if it was any other cartel they would've been dead, no questions asked.
ReplyDeleteDon't speak to soon, they f up bad again. They are not going to last long
DeleteExactly
Delete"where they are filing a complaint with Public Prosecutors Office" LOL!
ReplyDeletewhat were these guys thinking, going to a war zone without a fixer and or permission from the people that control the turf?
ReplyDeleteim not a journalist, but even I know you don't just head into a conflict without a fixer/guide. they're lucky these gunmen didn't just open up on them as soon as they saw them.
Sorry but I couldn't help to notice how stupid your comment really is.
DeleteA reporter asking cartel leaders for permission to do their work!!! What's next, the plants asking for permission to grow?
11:24 That's the way it works around here play boy
DeleteThe guy is kind of right. It is a war zone...unfortunately. They should have hired a local to take them around and see if they can be granted access and not be confused to be rivals.
DeletePlants only grow by Allah will remember that
Delete11:24 AM
Delete"A reporter asking cartel leaders for permission to do their work"
Sorry but your comment is about the most naive on here.This is Mexico,whole different set of rules,maybe if they would have?
manny
DeleteNo dude,you have common sense,unlike a few here

ReplyDeleteIf it had have been zetas, they all would be dead!
ReplyDeleteMake Mexico Great Again! MMGA
Are the zeta still killing themselves? Looks like Sinaloa is about to do down that same path and in a year or two they will completely destroy their own empire.. whoever is left standing will pick up whatever wreckage remains
Delete9:27 nah, epn just want to control all the billions of dollars and put them safely under his posession, after all he is kind of short too, a chapo...
DeleteI wonder why you never hear about Olvidio Guzman? Does he even factor into this bloody mess?
ReplyDeleteHe's lowprofile that's the way to live when u are involved this type of thing
DeleteYeah what about the rest of guzmans 15 kids. You really never hear about them. Seems like their playing it smart
DeleteI was thinking about that the other day, I heard he is more a farmer and doesn't involve himself in that luscious life the chapitos live.
DeleteHe is very involved in the business just low key he is like a Vicente zambada type of person and very well liked by mayo aswell he ain't wanted by the u.s for nothing. It's said he handles allot of the import n export side of the business coming from south America. Don't be surprised if he's the next one on the thrown instead of alfredito.
DeleteSounds like what the Army does on a daily basis
ReplyDelete8:05 except for the reporters having survived and recovered their property, the army and marinas won't leave any valuables or equipment behind, or live witnesses...
DeleteOtis,you just tagged your opinion on this piece, how do you know it was chapitos people? Lets stick to the facts and report as it is.
ReplyDeleteI apologize otis I just read the original article, it was the other reporter assuming that it was Ivans people who picked up the journalists. It was a roving patrol who mistook the suv for a ministerial police suv. Very simmilar.
DeleteIvan ordered them released immediately. Shows who runs Sinaloa. Chapitos are decent and go by old mafia rules that Chapo set in place. Not like those druggy Damasos.
ReplyDeleteThey mistaken them for blo
DeleteI'm sure Ivan had no idea it even happened until it was already over with. The cold hard reality is most supreme leaders have no idea their guys fucked up until its already too late. The Capos or LT's typically clean up the mess.
DeleteStolen items located "hours later" case solved. Excellent work, an inspiration to all Mexican law enforcement. Even Shaft took a few days. Wow just incredible!
ReplyDeleteAstounding level of investigation,Mexico is renowned for its ability to solve almost every crime that occurs within its borders,CRIMINALS BEWARE.
DeleteI wonder who called the brats and told them to leave the car and cameras.
ReplyDeleteFace it damasos messed up should of killed den wen da had da chance now dar hiding one of den has 2 die
ReplyDeletechapo dummies!
ReplyDeleteTHey didnt kill them because they would have international trouble. Mexico has enough problems with US alone...
ReplyDeleteMore like confused them for BLO..
ReplyDeleteIts common sense,the Police/Federales called them & told them to give back everything they took from these people & not make matters worse.
ReplyDeleteI bet it was the Zetas .
ReplyDeleteWhy do they complain,,
ReplyDeleteIt's like going to Mosul and expecting everything to be rainbows and marshmellows.
Parral is soon going to be Linea,,
ReplyDeleteEl Cepillo is losing alot of support.
This had to be damasos not chapitos
ReplyDeleteIf cjng caught them they would of been on the special menu of mencho named al jazeera sheesh kebabs
ReplyDeleteAnd thats the diffrence between jalisca and sinaloa
DeleteHow do we know it's Los capitol that done this? Maybe it was Damaso or beltran
ReplyDeleteThese journalists had ballistic helmets and body armor. What do you think they resembled? They brought this shit on themselves.
ReplyDeleteWell, the chapitos granted the reporters immunity, nice to see.
Deletevan a sonar los cuerno y a bolar cabezas......
