Cuernavaca, Morelos: On the Hunt for Saul Riveras aka “El Güero Lentes”

 “Sol Prendido" for Borderland Beat

A new video from the Mexican underworld has just surfaced online. For this broadcast a captured operative from the Cartel Jalisco New Generation (CJNG) is narrating the illicit affairs of a plaza boss by the name of Saul Rivera aka “El Güero Lentes”. 

The interrogation under duress yields an insiders view of an ongoing criminal structure at the behest of “El Güero Lentes”. Moreover, the intel being extracted is but another piece for the captors on the trail for Saul Rivera.

This film has been deemed safe for all to see. 

Video translation is as follows:

Sicario: Ok, start talking.

Captive: I worked for Saul Rivera’s aka “El Güero Lentes”. In Jojutla he has his contacts. In particular with the Ministerial Police. There’s a big fat dude there within the department. He’s not too hard to find among the Ministerial Policemen because he’s the only one that’s so fucking humungous there. I can’t recall his name. But he’s the direct contact. He’s the one…

Sicario: Who is El Tlaqui?

Captive: Tlaqui doesn’t have any contact with the Municipal Police. 

Sicario: What about the Ministerial Policemen?

Captive: I honestly don’t know if Tlaqui has any contact with the Ministerial Policemen. But that big guy I was telling you about tends to visit them there. He drives a red vehicle accompanied by 3 other men. Jonatan has as a contact MacNeil Nava from the C-5 In the city of Jojutla. 

Sicario: Jonatan what?

Captive: Jonatan Moreno. He’s the one who had a contact with MacNeil Nava. This came about from when Jonatan was working as a civil protection employee. He’s the one who helps out Jonatan whenever they need to set a person up. Besides him there’s another 2-3 individuals who work at the C-5 in Jojutla. There’s a dark skin individual of medium build. And the other is a light skin individual who belongs to the motorcycle crew. The other guy is an older gentleman who happens to be a police commander. 

Sicario: What are their names?

Captive: I don’t know their names. But they are…what’s today, it’s Monday right? I believe their work shift starts tomorrow. Just the same the guy from C-5 will also begin work, I mean the individual from the Ministerial Police. 

Sicario: Who are the individuals responsible for leaving that narco message out there in Cuernavaca?

Captive: It was me and another person. 

Sicario: On who’s orders?

Captive: “El Lentes” gave the orders. We went to place it right there in that store where you were at in the Rinconadas de las Flores neighborhood 

Sicario: What all contacts does El Güerro Lentes supposedly have just ahead of there with the Cartel Jalisco?

Captive: He only has one individual that I’m aware of who is originally from Tijuana. He’s the guy that’s giving him support. 

Sicario: What about all the innocent persons killed and the chaos caused? Was this done in other men’s name?

Captive: In regard to what you’ve just mentioned Jonatan is the one causing all this mess. 

Sicario: Jonatan what?

Captive: Jonatan Moreno. 

Sicario #2: Where can this individual be found?

Captive: He can be found in 3 different locations. One would be at the bakery shop. But in order to confirm this there has to be a green Ford Windstar minivan. If this vehicle isn’t there then that means he’s not there. 

He also has another location that he frequents. As you’re heading that way from here. On the main thoroughfare you’ll see a Comex store. It’s right before you turn towards (unintelligible). He often goes there with a young woman. And if you’re trying to locate Jonatan. 

He should be there with a woman. I can’t remember her nickname though. But that’s the woman who’s going to be there with him. It’s on the main thoroughfare right before you reach the Comex store. You can drive your vehicle into their parking lot there. And no one from the street will be able to tell that you’re there. 

Sicario: How many drug retail stores does “El Güerro Lentes” have there in Jojutla?

Captive: He has 1,2,3,…I believe he only has a total of 4 stores. Only grams are purchased in these establishments. 

Sicario: What about Tlaquiltenango?

Captive: In Tlaquiltenango? I believe he only has about 6 or 7 stores there. 

Sicario: Why were all those narco messages directed towards inmates?

Captive: On the tarps?

Sicario: Yes. 

Captive: I don’t know all the details behind that. But the objective was implemented in order to achieve another objective. And from this the narco message was left at the scene near the Tecnológico de Monterrey campus (Cuernavaca, Morelos). And the other one was left by Ami along with El Bofo’s cadaver. 

Sicario: Where exactly?

Captive: I believe it was Los Magueyes restaurant (Cuernavaca, Morelos). 

Sicario: What about “El Bofo”?

Captive: “El Tlaqui”? The last I heard of him was that he was a  drug consumer. That other individual we talked about earlier was apprehended. So, he was claiming that he was working for another person now. Is this everything? Or is there another matter that you’d like to know about?

Sicario: Is this everything that you’ve got to say?

Captive: No, not really. I have an understanding that El Guerinchees (El Güero Lentes), gave some guy a pot of drugs. So, that he could make a profit off of it at 50 pesos a tab. And 20 pesos for half of it.
