"HEARST" for Borderland Beat
A narco banner claims that one of the leaders of La Plaza is actively-serving as a Marine and has access to their federal intelligence on the narcos of the region.
Then, a “torture house” and mass grave was discovered near the beach destination of San Carlos, Sonora, which is frequented by foreign tourists.
Narco Banner Against La Plaza's El Castro
On Friday, October 7, 2022, residents discovered that narco banners were hung at different locations in Guaymas and Empalme, Sonora. These banners specifically targeted one of the leadership figures within the Caborca Cartel subgroup La Plaza named Antonio Castro Valenzuela, aliases "El Castro" and "El Rabano".
He's alleged to be one of the men who works under the overall La Plaza leader El Picipi. For more information on either, please see this previous story.
The banner read as follows:
He is one of the main generators of all the violence in the region, the extortion fee collection, the murders of women, the extortion, the kidnappings and active member of the SEMAR (the Marines).
That is why the authorities do not stop him, because he has access to all the information that the authorities have against him and against his cartel.
The banner’s claim that El Castro is currently serving as a soldier in the Marines (SEMAR) is the biggest revelation of the message. As of the writing of this story, SEMAR has not responded to this claim.
SEMAR soldiers play a much more prominent, law-enforcement-like role specifically in the state of Sonora. Oftentimes a SEMAR captain is selected to lead the local municipal police departments.
In the Guaymas and Empalme area, there is a history of narco banners claiming these SEMAR police directors are in league with Sinaloa Cartel - Los Salazars.
This is the second time that El Castro's photo and name have been displayed in a narco banner this week, as just two days before he was named in another banner which listed out top La Plaza leadership. For more information on this previous banner, see this previous story.
Sometime after 3:00 pm, a tip was called in to authorities which reported that human remains were located on an uninhabited property in the small town of San José de Guaymas, north of Guaymas and west of San Carlos.
The tip was made by a volunteer group named "Guerreras Buscadoras de Sonora", which searches for missing persons in Sonora. An article by Entorno Informativo later revealed that the group had traveled to search the property because of an anonymous tip they received. The exact nature and manner of the tip has not been detailed further.
When officers arrived on scene, they were shown the location of the remains, which was within the well of the property’s septic tank, by the search group.
Officers then searched the house located on the same property and found that it was an alleged "torture house", as described by Michelle Rivera, because it contained evidence of physical assault, traces of blood and "evident torture".
A total of seven bodies have been recovered from the property so far and tests will be performed to try to identify the remains that were found.

Good morning HEARST. Its been 10 years since Z3 Lazcano was killed on 10/7/2012 and I was going to ask, if you have the time and interest, could you do an article about the Zetas. Maybe brief summaries of important arrests with links to the stories as they happened, sometimes the comments on those articles were prescient and others not so much. Gracias🍺
ReplyDeleteYes. I can do that. It sounds interesting. Thanks for the request.
DeleteNice suggestion @506. @hearst, I would suggest you reach out to Itzli, Bjeff/leChef, Mx, and maybe others if you want to do a story on the original Zetas. I remember they posted some interesting stuff and conclusions in the old forum. Lots of the media gets the originals wrong bc some Zetas alias were reused later. Like Z-2 was originally Morales Betancourt but it was later adopted again by Rogelio Gonzalez.
DeleteYeah, I remember Itzli was amazing with zetas knowledge?
DeleteHearst, can you please also include some information on El Mellado? Thank you
DeleteFor sure. :)
DeleteThis might take me a few days but it'll be fun.
Do one on how the zetas were dealt with by the Michoacán family
Delete"Do one on how the zetas were dealt with by the Michoacán family" Why?To show how hard michocan are?Its about Zetas not michocan ye dozy twat,are you la tutas afterbirth son?Have got pointy boots?Zetas history and members?
DeletePointy boots come from northern Mexico silly twat. You mad and upset the Michoacán fucked them up. Tuta is still alive and your most likely his love child.
Delete@9:08
DeleteYou mad bro haha fuck zetas! they got messed up by Michoacános pretty bad.
If you can't beat them snitch on them
ReplyDeleteSpot on
DeleteWorse than in Ukraine
ReplyDeleteIt’s different than Ukraine. This is a low intensity conflict. Ukraine is in a country-to-country war. Different ballgame.
Delete6:59 Not even close to that boy.
Delete7:23AM
DeleteYou nailed it.
It's worse than Ukraine. This in Mexico is a set up for genocide.
DeleteIt's a war that will not end because the US of A gains from it 💵 💰
ALL the NARCO-GOVERNORS and narcopresidents from Mexico are puppets including grandpa AMLO.
3:12 Not even close to be like Ukraine, and theres no evidence AMLO have ANY links with any cartel. Grow up boy.
Delete4:23 hahaha just wait after he's out if Office, it usually works like that.
DeleteIf your silly ass thinks AMLO is not a U.S puppet, your a sheep like 99.9% of Mexico.
Really?
These are some Facts for now. He still has 2 more years to fu(k Mexico up.
1. Abrazos no balazos (hysgs for thugs)
2. He let the chapitos take sinaloa and he backed down and called to release that chapo kid.
3. He and momma chapo communicate frequently. (why?)
4. There's been rumors of his brother and people around him taking brives. They have his brother in video.
If your dumb A$$ thinks there was no take over from the gringos when they reached Mexico city in the war, your dumber than I thought.
Every Mexican president is a puppet to 🇺🇸 . The last 5 presidents are known to be narcopresidents what makes this grandpa any different?
I will agree 4:23 the Ukrainians would fuck the shit out of the cartels. Those boys ain't playing
Delete4:57 Obrador is the puppet for seniors in military and cartels that pay bribes.
DeleteEveryone read 457 comment and realize the people on this planet?Fuckin monkey he can peel bananas wit his feet,the US again,yawn
Delete457 Gotta say you are a puro payaso,that mierda that came out your brain is showing what a simpleton you are.You actually think its clever you delusional motherfucker?ELMO is not mexicos president then,mexico is not a sovereign nation,cartels are the fault of the U.S.corruption in mexicos is blah de blah snore
Delete4:57 Whats this?, a 10yo boy giving conspiracy theories?
DeleteI remember seeing his pic before. How come it was barely released that he’s a marine? You would think that with the picture being out there for a while the govt would have IDed him?
ReplyDeleteHe article says that the Marines don't want the public to know because he could release information about their support for CDS.
Delete9:09 Theres no link between CDS and Marina. Update your facts.
DeleteDo any other international criminal groups publicly snitch like Mexican cartel narco mantas?
ReplyDeleteYes The Chinese Traid.
DeleteCJNG tellin on Dudes again. Rat Squad

DeleteThis is exactly why so many cds keep getting caught and killed
ReplyDeleteAnother rumor by these people hanging mantas against La Plaza say the dude in the grainy picture is in prison under a different name
ReplyDeletePsychological warfare at its finest. Now everyone believes what they see just because… they saw it. Lack of education, poverty, distress, and the need to survive will always embrace weak minds.
ReplyDeleteThis is México where sicarios will kill for $2000 pesos....
DeleteWeak superstitious and malleable,if mexico wants news buried they use the U.S excuse just like the U.S.uses similar tactics.Its not even sophisticated in mexico
DeleteMost definitely,many right here fall for every conspiracie they can think of,usually involving mexico being the victim of predatory nations and outside investment little realizing how insular mexico is.Propaganda always works,look at the U.S.and Iraq,weapons of mass destruction shit
Delete9:23 Looks like you have a point... Too much Netflix kids.
