CARTEL THAT SOWS VIOLENCE IN GUERRERO

The Independent Cartel of Acapulco disputes the control of drug distribution territories in the Port of Acapulco and different points of the state of Guerrero with groups of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG).

The southern state of Guerrero has been hit in recent years by organized crime groups, who are dedicated to drug trafficking and extortion, and during 2021 the state experienced a strong wave of violence.

One of the most recent crimes in which they have been linked is in the burning of the emblematic nightclub of the port, Baby O´.

During the first two months of this 2022, Guerrero accumulated 201 intentional homicides, of which 64 were registered in Acapulco, according to data from the Executive Secretariat of the National Public Security System (SESNSP)

HOW WAS THE ACAPULCO INDEPENDENT CARTEL BORN?

CIDA was born after the fall of the Beltrán Leyva cartel, which controlled the area. Some reports assure that it was in 2012 that it was constituted by José Alberto Quiroz Pérez, as well as by José Leopoldo Buendía Domínguez "El Chilango" and by Javier Muñoz "El Cholo", being an extension of the dejected "Los Negros" cartel, and while initially they were financed by "Los Zetas", very soon they became independent and declared themselves autonomous, La Silla Rota published.

In 2011 the witness "Némesis" (nickname given by the PGR to José Jorge Balderas Garza "El JJ"), affirmed that after the arrest of capo Édgar Valdez Villarreal "La Barbie", the structure he left in the hands of his father-in-law Carlos Montemayor "El Charro" fractured because the Acapulco operators decided not to assume command and formed CIDA.

The CIDA, added the witness, assumed control "of all crime" in Acapulco and the main operators were Benjamín Flores Reyes "El Padrino" and Moisés Montero Álvarez "El Koreano", both detained by the Federal Police on March 1 and August 1, 2011, respectively.
