"Morogris" for Borderland Beat
Sinaloa Cartel operator Enrique López Acosta, also known by the alias El Cumbias, received a 160-year prison sentence today for his role in the 2010 Creel, Chihuahua massacre.
This verdict marks a significant achievement for Mexican prosecutors, who persevered for many years to secure a conviction against El Cumbias for an incident where cartel members seized control of Creel and killed eight people. Verdicts of this nature are unfortunately infrequent in Mexico, a country where the majority of murders and mass killings often go unpunished.
El Cumbias was a ringleader of the Gente Nueva faction of the Sinaloa Cartel and was initially arrested in December 2010 in Delicias, Chihuahua. Although released from prison last year due to lack of evidence, he was subsequently re-apprehended.
He was incarcerated solely on charges related to vehicle theft, as his defense team successfully persuaded judges that El Cumbias was not the individual depicted in the massacre videos. However, Judges Claudia Cony Velarde, César Ramírez Franco, and Gerardo Acosta Barrera unanimously declared El Cumbias guilty today after a decade-long case.
The massacre
The infamous Creel massacre, taking place on March 15, 2010, garnered national and international attention when a surveillance camera recorded El Cumbias and his armed associates executing a brazen commando-style assault in broad daylight.
The footage vividly portrays the assailants methodically taking control of Creel. They block streets, forcibly remove drivers from their vehicles, and carry out ruthless killings without hesitation.
Initially broadcasted on the Televisa network's show Punta y Partida, hosted by Denise Maerker in Mexico City, gained widespread popularity. The recorded sequence revealed a convoy of vehicles arriving as armed men swarm the town.
At one point, the camera zooms in on a grey SUV, where an individual extracts a bag of white powder. This person is seen sharing the substance with several gunmen, indulging in it himself by snorting handfuls.

The armed individuals then initiated their actions, setting up checkpoints, pulling drivers out of their vehicles, and conducting searches for weapons. Simultaneously, another group surrounded a spacious house, forcefully gaining entry through the door, with visible flashes of gunfire at the entrance. Reportedly, this residence belonged to a businessman and his family. State authorities asserted that they lacked precise information on the exact number of casualties on that fateful day.
As per local media accounts, the assailants fatally shot nine individuals and injured six, including a 12-year-old girl. Confirming at least eight fatalities, this tragic toll included an 18-year-old woman. Initially hesitant to attribute the attacks to a specific cartel, state authorities later confirmed the involvement of Gente Nueva, a faction of the Sinaloa Cartel.

ReplyDeleteEs el que se atasca la caspa del diablo, no ?
ReplyDeleteEn el video
He’ll be released in about 16 years due to “good behavior”
ReplyDeleteSad thing is all these cartel operators should get the exact same treatment. That’s the first decent sentence that fit the crime. Wonder what made them change their mind and drop the hammer like that ? His money must have started running short and couldn’t keep up with the payments. Something triggered the judges to do a complete reversal.
ReplyDeleteThis guy's cell were major pecan robbers in the delicias Saucillo area
ReplyDeleteI wonder 🤔.
ReplyDeleteCan I live to be 160 years?
6:52 Well If I lived to be 160 years, I would have Sol change my depends, feed me, bathe me. I don't know if I would be able to walk. I may see Trump trying to run for the election a 4 time, perhaps North Korea finally detonates a nuclear bomb to US.
DeleteIs anyone watching the OCRAN LEAKS podcast on YouTube?? That’s mini Lic, ain’t it???
ReplyDeleteIn that small brain of his, he seems to think that no one knows who he is. But we all know by now that snitching runs in their bloodlines. No surprise there. I do get a laugh every time he claims that he's consulted with different sources to get his info. No, you dumb ass, you're just a snitch plain and simple. You know shit because you were involved.
DeleteHe has detailed informations and maps.
DeleteHuge operations going down in El Salado, Sinaloa this morning. Narco social media saying they were after Chavo Félix, who was partying. And might’ve gotten apprehended.
