The man found murdered on Thursday in front of the cemetery in the town of El Carrizalejo, east of the city of Culiacán, was identified as Dimas Díaz Ramos, el Dimas, who was arrested in 2009 for planning an assassination attempt against then President Felipe Calderón.

Diaz Ramos, also known as “El Seis” or “Delta”, was a state ministerial police officer in 1995 and left the force voluntarily in 2001.

On August 9, 2009, he was arrested along with four other people in Culiacán on charges of organized crime and crimes against health.

The then head of the Federal Police's Anti-Drug Division, Ramón Eduardo Pequeño, said that Díaz Ramos was an alleged financial operator for the Sinaloa Cartel and was responsible for organizing part of the drug trafficking in Michoacán, the Badiraguato mountains and in Tamazula, Durango, and then taking it to Mexicali and San Luis Río Colorado.


Miguel Angel Bagglietto Meraz, El Angel, 34; Joel Gonzalez Esparza, alias Raspu, 26; Benni Jassiel Ramirez Ramirez, El Broder, 19; and Jesus Aaron Acosta Montero, El Tarrayas, 36, were arrested along with Dimas. Authorities seized two long guns, three handguns and a partition with cocaine.

The investigation against El Dimas in 2009 was initiated by the Federal Police as a result of the so-called “war on drugs”, following a series of arrests and cash seizures from the Sinaloa Cartel, carried out by the Mexican Army in 2008.

According to Ramon Eduardo Pequeño, Diaz Ramos was tasked with planning an assassination attempt against President Felipe Calderon.

“The federal police began their investigation due to a threat against the president of the republic, as a result of the war declared against organized crime,” said the then federal official, when introducing the detainees.

“Derived from the intelligence reports of the federal government, it became known that the threat was made by the Pacific cartel (or Sinaloa), entrusting Dimas Díaz Ramos with the details of a possible attack,” he added.

Díaz Ramos was interned in the Centro Social de Readaptación Social Número 1 “Altiplano”, located in Almoloya de Juárez, State of Mexico, and it is not known when he was released.
