Chivis Martinez for Borderland Beat from Silla Rota
In the
past two years, violence in Guanajuato has exponentially increased by 160%. In January of 2016, 60 murders were
registered. In the month of February, 2018 there were 156. [ population of Guanajuato is 6M].
The
reason for the violence? The so called “Triangle of Guanajuato” or “Triangle of
Bermuda”, a corridor that goes from León to Los Apaseos and passes through
Salamanca, Irapuato and Celaya.
In this
corridor passes pipelines of Petroleos Mexicanos (PEMEX), the main source of the
“huachicoleros”, or gas thieves.
In the
first 11 months of 2017 it was recorded that there are 1,696 fuel retrieval
points in the state. This makes it a most valuable commodity for cartels to
capitalize on.
The
triangle is disputed by two organized crime groups: Cartel Santa Rosa de Lima
and Cartel Jalisco New Generation. (CJNG)
The
Cartel Santa Rosa de Lima, is a reference of the town of the same name, located
in the municipality of Guanajuato. It
was there the the criminal organization was founded. It has since expanded to
parts of the neighboring states of Queretaro and Michoacan.
This
relatively new criminal organization was unveiled last October, when a video surfaced
with several armed men appearing with their faces concealed.
In the
video a subject is shown in front of the group threatening CJNG, it is Jose
Antonio Yepez Ortiz also know as “El Marro”.
El Marro’s name appeared in threatening cartulinas, left with the dismembered body and signed by
CJNG over the weekend. The body was the son
of the police commander of Irapuato.
What is known about El
Marro’s criminal history, is that he was arrested 10 years ago in 2008, accused
of robbery and organized crime. Unfortunately,
he disappeared after paying bail.
Fuel theft is the
mainstay of Cartel Santa Rosa de Lima, they also engage In drug trafficking and
vehicle theft.
The threat that El Marro
issues in the video, is due to the advancement of CJNG, led by Francisco Cerda
Guillén, alías "El Señor de la Silla".
CJNG is one of the main cartels
involved in fuel theft. Both in Guanajuato
and Veracruz, are the main entities where this crime is carried out. “El Marro”
and "El Señor de la Silla" have maintained a vicious dispute over the
territory of the “triangle”, a war that has caused immense bloodshed in the
streets of Guanajuato.
In the last year a total
of 84 people were murdered, while in the first two months of 2018 there were
328 cases of intentional homicide.
The presence of these
cartels is also reflected in the number of complaints of drug trafficking. A crime that almost doubled in Guanajuato,
from 3684 in 2016 to 6567 in 2017.
And in 2018, there were
in the first two months 1436 cases.
With no end in sight.
CJNG Special Forces is gonna get these guys.They upgraded all their guns and got new tactical helmets with body armor.

DeleteHey hey hey guys I feel the same way about e42 and sol prendido and nothing happens, why not let this delusional fuck have his day
DeleteDamn Marro I need you to stay focused. I’ve got money on you taking out Mencho’s men. I want to be in good spirits when I go see my bookie next time.
ReplyDeleteSaludos para mi camarada Edwin de Santa Rosa. Lo siento por la muerte de J. No creas que no me agüito por esa mamada. Para ver sabido. Le hubiera hechado la mano y nos evitáramos esa trajedia. - Sol Prendido
No sigas apostado el pedorro xq lo vas a perder
DeleteHasta que le salen huevos a uno de guanajoto para aser un cartel. Ya se havian tardado. Yo pensaba que todos eran put.itos.
Delete@ 4:16 Me la rifo para ganar. Pero no siempre me toca ser el vencedor.
Delete@4:28 En este mundo hay de todo compa. No te podré decir que un lugar es mejor que el otro. - Sol Prendido
4:28 No mames, son rateros de 5ta.
DeleteHaha Sol, do you really have a bet on that?? You set up a futures contract with your bookie? Went long on Marro did ya?
DeletePhelpso
Phelpso yes. He’s an underdog. But playboy has potential. And many want Mencho out of the game. Odds are a long shot. But I love those odds. I just wish online gambling were legal. I’d be cleaning house on a lot of things here. - Sol Prendido
DeleteHaha that's hilarious! You can definitely gamble online, just start using crypto to do it!
DeletePhelpso
Is it the same señor dela silla from calibre 50 corrido
ReplyDeleteIt must be i doubt there’s another guy with the same stupid nickname
DeleteYes that is him they also mentioned El Cachas the guy that got caught around the same time Mencho's wife got caught. He was in charge of Morelia for a few years rumors have it that they discovered or more like a person they thought was dead came to see him and so he left. That was around the same time they killed el burrito de punta de agua. Who knows as those were just rumors.
DeleteMarró just won’t go down, mf smart and sneaky.
ReplyDeleteEl marro is brave dude standing up to them loud mouths from michoacan letting them know que Guanajuato no van venir a ordenar Otto que no Sea Guanajuatense
ReplyDeleteMichoacanos have been there and even have people from guanajuato working for them. CT and la familia michoacana and now cjng. All cartels are in that state tonto. Zetas, golfos and Beltranes too. Marro is small time and will get killed or run from there soon
DeleteEl marro was identified as a member of el cholo's group. El cholo who was menchos right hand then killed el colombiano a main financial operator of the cjng and mencho went to war with him.
ReplyDeleteHe’s not a member of cholos group. They’re probably working together to take out cjng but he’s not under cholo. He’s running his own cartel
DeleteThis is a different marro one from Guanajuato and the other one from jalisco
DeleteHe has no choice but to ho with cholo, either way marro is stuck in the middle of it and would be a bigger target if he went with mencho because cholo would be encouraged for bring a chapulin. Either way marro is a goner
DeleteThis guy and el marro are not working together.. theres another marro thats workig with el cholo or was until he got shot
Delete5:09 - Marro definitely is a bigger target, you see how plump that dude is?
DeletePhelpso
Cjng the most powerful cartel in mexico stealing fuel?? Didn’t zetas start doing this after lazca and z40 went down?? Ya you know where im going with this. OVERRATED!!
ReplyDeleteYeah exactly...the mafia stealing fuel? Lmao cjng is just zetas 2.0 not a real mafia.
Deleteno, Marro and his thoeves are stealing fuel, CJNG announced theyre going after those that steal fuel because like every cartel they have this code where stealing is a no no (but its bs because they all steal)
DeleteYour favorite Sinaloa cartel steals gas too. Sinaloa is one of the areas where more gas gets stolen
Deletedo you realize how much money can be made and how easily its sold to foreign buyers,im not talking about paisas selling 5 gallons on the side of the road
DeleteEstado de Puebla was shown on a map recently on BB, it had more illegal fuel outlets than any other state, about double than 2nd place.
DeleteAfter Mario Marin, La Pantera Rosa alias governor Rafael Moreno Valle went bat shit crazy stealing and getting the state in debt for his presidential run that went nowhere, still nobody voted for his ass, but his wife "won" the governorship with chanchullos, the election proved to be a fraud, poll annulled and given to former PRD and federal senator Barbosa, now with AMLO and MORENA PARTY who may continue the fuel theft or not...
BS
Deletei knew of zetas stealing petroleum in 04/06 in COAH.
Didn’t El Marro get killed back in March of this year, at some volleyball complex?
ReplyDeleteNot the same one. It’s hard to keep up with all of the overlapping nicknames.
DeleteThat marro guy has balls but no brains to go against an international criminal organization.
ReplyDeleteIts simple he can reach out to another international criminal organinization rivaps of cjng ,like Zetas or CDS
DeleteIf marro goes with cds or Zetas he will get killed by them too.. the zeta or cds will want that plaza for themselves. Either way he fudged up
Delete6:51 true.... loyalty does not exist with these people
DeleteRegardless, he has put up a good fight thus far.
DeleteMexico: time to sacrifice the narco warriors to our ancestral roots. The God of War and Sun.
ReplyDeletecuando la guerra comenso fueron los zetas hacer su pinche desmadre a GTO ahora son estos vatos mamadon el dinero del puto gobierno con el petróleo.
ReplyDeletethe mexican government hit these scumbags for taking their petroleum.
Can’t the government patrol the pipelines? Don’t they have helicopters and an army to do so? Like AMLO said, they don’t give a crap.
ReplyDeleteInside job!
DeleteI watched the video and it is ridiculous that more than 1000 people got arrested for stealing fuel and the judges set them two days after their arrest. AMLO has said the judges are a big failure in the process. YO ESTOY CON AMLO. Juntos haremos historia.
ReplyDeleteif a group steal fuel and their main income is from fuel theft, are they even considered a Cartel? does Santa Rosa even engage in smuggling drugs outside of Mexico? Theyre not Narcos if theyre not trafficking narcotics.
ReplyDeletetheyre 1 group with no plazas outside of Guanajuato so technically by definition they are not a cartel, just a band of thieves.
nowdays every group of criminals wants to call them selves a cartel
12:32 the obvious impunity comes from above, that is why the problem can't be solved by the government or its melitary or poolesias, it also leaves the problem to private security corporations that will also take over the huachicoleros job once they get "their contract".
DeleteStealing from PEMEX will go on steroids if AMLO keeps the top burglars on the job with contracts with foreign RATAS that never even get to smell a drop of oil.
The huachicoleros pipe tankers and plastic totes on stake trucks keep being invisible even to the cops.
@8:34, I always wondered how no ones ever sees most of these guys. I understand that they operate at night but have a few police patrols in those areas. Gasoline transportation requires some big containers/vehicles. Then again, Pemex is government owned and most of these so called cartels are really another branch of the government. So they steal from themselves, write it off as a loss and probably get insurance money from the theft. Talk about a win win win situation!
DeleteSomos banditos
