Roberto Sandoval Castañeda's taste for Pura Raza Española (PURE) horses led him to ally himself with drug cartels.
Sandoval was arrested with his daughter, Lidy Alejandra, who was also charged with the same crime. The operation to arrest the former governor and his daughter was led by agents of the Office of the Attorney General of the Republic (FGR), Secretariat of National Defense (SEDENA), Secretariat of the Navy (Navy), National Guard (GN), and the National Center Intelligence (CNI).
According to information from journalist Ciro Gómez Leyva, Sandoval and Lidy, his daughter, were arrested at 5 in the morning this Saturday. When issuing the arrest warrant against Roberto Sandoval and Lidy, a federal judge considered that there is evidence, both in the common and federal courts, of the alleged connection of the former governor with people who have been detained abroad for crimes related to organized crime.
Sandoval and his children, as well as his wife, have several arrest warrants against them, the last complaint against the family was made by the Financial Intelligence Unit (UIF) last March, since it established through different federal agencies of that state and its relatives a network of diversion of public resources and money laundering, during the years of his government (2011-2017).

| Roberto Sandoval Castañeda was governor of Nayarit from 2011 to 2017. |
During his administration, violence and insecurity linked to organized crime escalated dramatically so that at the end of his term there was talk that he had ties to drug trafficking.
He was wanted in 194 countries after Friday, November 13, a Nayarit control judge accused him of the crimes of illicit enrichment, embezzlement and improper exercise of functions. But it is not the first time that accusations have been made against the former governor.
Since May 17, 2019, the United States accused him of ties to drug trafficking in Mexico, having received bribes from the Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartel (CJNG), and froze accounts that the former state governor had in the US.
That is why on February 28, the Secretary of State of the American Union, Mike Pompeo, reported that the Treasury Department included the former governor of Nayarit, in the list of people who committed acts of corruption, which in his case It was because of the links with criminal drug trafficking groups. In addition, he pointed out that neither Sandoval Castañeda nor his family can enter that country.
Days later, Roberto Sandoval gave an interview to Radio Fórmula. He said he was surprised by the determination of the neighboring country and clarified that for two years he has been in contact with the authorities of that country. In addition, he said that in 2016 he received a letter informing him about the suspension of his US visa until his situation was clarified, so he had already had time without visiting the neighboring country. He insisted that he was innocent of the accusations.
In addition to diverting millions of pesos of public resources, the American Union pointed out that the former governor accepted bribes from the Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartel, its financial arm "Los Cuinis" and the Los Beltrán Leyva Cartel. In the plot with drug trafficking and abuse of power, the Nayarit prosecutor, Édgar Veytia Cambero, alias “El Diablo” and personal friend of Sandoval Castañeda, was also involved.

"El Diablo" was not only involved with organized crime, but also carried out land grabbing, threats, extortion, torture, femicide, kidnapping and forced disappearances in the state. As reported by Borderland Beat.
CJNG on the out. El único rey de reyes es el de arriba.
ReplyDeleteAny relation to Aristotles and his lawyer?
ReplyDeletePOS like this buey need to get all their assets seized and then sent to a hard labor reclusorio para que se eduqué y no ande de lacra
ReplyDeleteLooks like the hammer is going to come down on CJNG. I think the Federal government backed away from engaging them because of these elections. But because they are stupid, Mencho is an idiot, they spent all this time making themselves the big target. That whole Culiacanazo has been memory holed and now the Jaliscas and their social media influencers made it hot for themselves. Oh and El Cuini for sure turned on Mencho, his idiot in law wasted away his money and influence trying to play an incompetent war general. A small time drug dealer in Cali, an Ex Cop and a rape victim called Mencho tried to convince the world he was a great general by dressing up drug addicts in "special forces" costumes.
ReplyDeleteLmao secret management, you're a cold little cat. Do u really believe Cuini flipped on Mencho? Lmao bro you really are comedy man. Why don't you comment unde your name anymore? Because everyone knows you're the biggest biased moron online who was the rape victim so that's why u hate cjng. Still doubt that CJNG owns aguililla? What happened I thought M2 was stuck there?? Lmao bro you're a joke ..
DeleteNow you're saying the elections were big deal but remember u swore they didn't mean shit? Haha damn bro thank you you made my day
Rape victim?? Please explain
DeleteMayo is cuban bro, you should be ashame a cuban is controling sinaloa
DeleteSecret_management do you even know WTF you write? MORENA is ahead and very likely to win Michoacán, the governor's candidate is behind so those agreements that protected Culos Unidos whether voluntary or otherwise will be non-existent and the hunt will be on. Expect Gallinas Depiladas to start crying when the offensives are unleashed and all those lacra muertos de hambre start to get killed and either fight to death or run to save themselves and all the tacatitos get their heads chopped off. Guerrero, where 43 got killed and what really happened to them is trying to be answered, Colima, Nayarit and Zacatecas are also going to MORENA, "What Cha Think" that means? You also the chump that would write Rosalinda being spit, slapped and raped when she was arrested? Aver cuántos huevos tienen tus parientes sin el gobierno por adelante.
DeleteThis was Menchos and El Jardineros man in Nayarit. The current Gov is also in bed with El senor de Las Flores..
ReplyDeleteQuick discussion, old and maybe a bit stray but also relevant
In the nueva plaza video, even Cholo refuses to call out Jardineros, to the contrary he says "of you jaedinero I won't say much because you are old in the bizz and I met u only twice.."
Later he says to someone else "all that time you spent on the ranch taking care of the old man (Viejo) for you to be left like that or have ur property taken from you, what happened to the respect you swore and bragged he had for you"
Is he reffering to Mencho? As Viejo? Or does it sound like there a higher up than him according to the video
Oh. Look it's the over analyzer
DeleteViejo is RNOC but Cholo was referring to another individual who was taken out on orders of 3. I'll look at the video again to give more detail
DeleteHe is referring to Dany Quintero when he says "what happened to the respect you swore and bragged he had for you". "The only thing you can count on is the 40 year sentence you received". Don Isidro had La Huerta and Casimiro and would guard the territory when #1 was around but eventually it was taken from him and given to "el pendejo del Pelón" de "Pedula", Perúla, and when PDP was captured the plazas weren't give back to Don Isidro. Cholo tells him if you aren't smart you'll be working for 20% like the idiot Morocho. Usual cizaña tactics and strategy to cause discord, just another reason he was dealt with tenderly. He starts with 85, Sapo, Quintero, Don Isidro, Tanque, Jardinero and #1 and says "he and CNP can handle them without any help". 🤔
DeleteMexicans have voted, they want Law and Order, will it happen , don't think so. Amlo is with the Cartels. So Mexico got 3 more years of Volience.
ReplyDeleteAMLO = MALO
Delete@6:19 All presidents will be but at least MORENA focuses on the revoltosos.
ReplyDeleteMORENA WON IN MICHOACAN SILVANO IS OUT ITS OVER FOR GALLINAS UNIDAS
ReplyDelete@10:28 LOOOL no...MORENA is taking Mencho out pendejo.
DeleteCuando este vato era gobernador de nayarit solo habia zetas y beltranes.
ReplyDeleteCjng eran conocidos como los matazetas y eran gente de nacho coronel a la orden del cartel de sinaloa.
MAYO is not cuban. He isss from the same area as Chapo.
