"El Koala" , at the service of "El Mini Lic":
On April 24, Renato Sales Heredia, head of the National Security Commission (CNS), confirmed that the murder of journalist Javier Valdez Cárdenas is linked to various journalistic investigation works in which he covered issues such as drug trafficking and organized crime.
Days before his death, Valdez Cárdenas published journalistic works related to the criminal cell of Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada García; something that later the co-founder of Riodoce, Ismael Boroquez, admitted was a bad decision and "a mistake" to have published something so dangerous for Javier, the ever uncompromising journalist.
In a press conference, Sales Heredia confirmed the detention of Heriberto Picos Barraza, "El Koala" , 26 years old, who works for Dámaso López Serrano, "El Mini Lic". "El Koala" is one of the three alleged murderers of the journalist, at noon May 15 of last year.
Sales Heredia confirmed that the arrest was made in El Pedregal de Santa Julia, located in Tijuana Baja California.
Dámaso López Núñez, "El Licenciado", who became one of the men closest to Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán after helping him in his escape from the Puente Grande prison in Jalisco in January 2001, was arrested on May 2 in Mexico City.
"El Lic and "El Mini Lic" are in the US awaiting their own trials and expected to testify against "El Chapo", their former business partner.
