A weapons and drugs supplier from La Unión de la B is suspected to have handed its leaders, Roberto Maldonado López "El Betito" and David García Ramírez "El Pistache,"  over to authorities.

Information that "El Betito" provided to the Deputy Attorney General for Organized Crime   Investigation (SEIDO) led the authorities to an individual identified as Hugo P. "El Güero Loco" or "El Güero Carmenta."

This man being the main supplier of weapons and drugs, he knew about the safe houses of La Unión and the whereabouts of their leaders.
 
According to data from the Attorney General's Office (PGR), "El Güero Loco" is an ex-prisoner, was a member of the Valencia Brothers cartel and later allied with the Jalisco Cartel Nueva Generación (CJNG).
 
According to what "El Betito" said to federal agents, "El Güero Loco" is behind the formation of the alleged criminal group Unión Tepito Nueva Generación.
 
Maldonado Lopez added that said subject sought at all costs to make enemies with Jorge Flores Conchas, "El Tortas", because he said he never gave the order to kidnap and kill his brother, Guillermo Sabino Flores Conchas.
 
Guillermo Sabino was the owner of the restaurant "Los Machetes", located on Héroes street, in the Guerrero neighborhood, and he was murdered because he allegedly refused to pay derecho de piso  to the Unión.

However, "El Betito " affirmed that the family of "El Tortas" and therefore Guillermo Sabino, were exempt from this charge, but that some of its members, incited by "El Güero Loco", went to attack him behind their backs.
 
From that crime, "El Tortas" and " El Betito " were enemies.
 
There were dozens of murders linked to this dispute that was in response to personal issues rather than a struggle for control for the Historic Center or Garibaldi, where the clan of "El Tortas" operates.

As La Silla Rota announced the brothers and cousins of Flores Conchas were related to the kidnapping of Gustavo A. Madero delegation candidate and one of them was linked to the murder of Paco Stanley.
 
Now, after the massacre that took place in Plaza Garibaldi, one day before the Shout of Independence, "El Tortas" fled, according to reports from the Capital Police and the Attorney General's Office.

In response, the PGR maintains that "El Güero Loco" will intensify his presence in El Centro and Tepito, to seize the narcotiendas that are not under anyone's control after the arrests of El Betito and El Pistache.
