Culiacán, Sinaloa.- On Wednesday, April 2, Leobardo García Corrales, alias "El Leo," "El 18," or better known as "El Leobas" in the region, was arrested in Mexico City. He was a member of a criminal group in Sinaloa with its base of operations in Cosalá and Elota.

The operations were led by members of the Attorney General's Office and the Navy, in coordination with the Defense Ministry, the National Guard, and the Ministry of Security and Citizen Protection.

In the statement issued by federal authorities, it is reported that the Tlalpan municipality was identified as the transit area for Leobardo "N." He has an extradition request and is wanted by US authorities. Therefore, fixed, mobile, and discreet surveillance was implemented.


That's how security agents located him on Adolfo Ruiz Cortines Boulevard in the Jardines de la Montaño neighborhood, where they stopped him, verified his identity, and arrested him.

Omar García Harfuch confirms
“In Mexico City, in an operation led by @FGRMexico and @SEMAR_mx, Leobardo “N,” alias “Leo,” was arrested. He was wanted by the @DEAHQ in the United States for being linked to drug trafficking for a criminal organization, in addition to organized crime, public health offenses, and illegal use of firearms and explosives.”

“With these actions, we continue working together to arrest fugitives from the law,” the message concluded.




US Offering Reward
The US State Department was offering $4 million for information on Leobardo García. According to the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Sinaloa Cartel is largely responsible for the massive influx of fentanyl into the US in recent years.

According to the information provided in the US State Department's search report, "El Leobas" has described himself as a close associate of Ismael Zambada García and Joaquín Archivaldo Guzmán Loera.

After a couple of years in which García Corrales presumed the manufacture, sale, and distribution of fentanyl in various areas of the United States, on April 4, 2023, a federal grand jury in New York returned an indictment against Leobardo García Corrales and others, charging them with conspiracy to import fentanyl, possession of machine guns and destructive devices, and conspiracy to possess machine guns and destructive devices.


"El Leobas" is originally from Potrerillo del Norote, in the municipality of Elota. He would have turned 55 in 2025.

Two of his brothers were murdered in 2024.

On August 17, 2024, three bodies were found on the road leading to the municipality of Cosalá and the town of Conitaca, in the jurisdiction of the municipality of Elota. They were located near the town of El Aguaje.

Two of them were brothers of "El Leobas," Martín and José Ricardo García Corrales. According to the report, they were killed by gunshot wounds and showed signs of torture. The United States government was offering a reward for Martín, like Leobardo, who was found.

    1. Who is 'we'? You ain't doing anything.

    2. That's why people have a AI cloned voice of themselves talking into a burner phone operated by a third person why they're at a different location. They trick whoever is doing the pinpointing.

  5. So he flipped from Chapiza to MF after his brothers were murdered or were they murdered because he flipped?

    1. it was El Chatillo who ordered the August 2024 murder of El 18’s brothers. That led to intermittent fighting. so I would say probably after he switched sides. because el chatillo is Chapitos regional boss.

    2. El Chatillo has also been known to be romantically involved with Ana Karen Val Medina. Who is the long time girlfriend of El 00. But Iván Archivaldo has prevented El 00 from killing Chatillo. over that So Iván Archivaldo seems to protect El Chatillo over other plaza bosses for Chapitos. El Chatillo is the Boss of Elota Sinaloa. He was the one who attacked Properties associated with The Garcia Corrales Family In September of 2024.

    1. He and is slain brother are siblings of the head of the PAS party in Elota and they're all related to Fausto Corrales (son of the current UAS head) who was driving Hector Cuen to the meeting. He has been missing since then.

  10. Leo was Chapo’s pot grower. I have known him for 25 years. He grew up with the families before the divisions, close to Mayo and Chapo and all the families. Leo is old school. He gave up everything to have his son Jonathan freed after he was abducted with his girlfriend and a buddy. In the fall of 2022 Leo agreed to distance himself from family and associates dealing with fentanyl and focus on growing cannabis anticipating full recreational legalization. Many already knew his strain of lush, La Cruz to be among the best. Leo left Sinaloa in the summer of 2023 for a safe retreat in Oaxaca. I don’t know what lured him in to the city today. I ask Leo what Chapo would give to live out his life in the montañas, poor but with friends now that he was in the US. We agreed, “everything”. That inspired him. Looks like our plan to boil a campfire coffee together is on hold. Sad day….

  11. Did Cabo 30 get killed this time ?

  12. Don't these goons already know that they can be traced from their cell phones? That is common knowledge. Everyone knows this already. He should've bought about twenty cheap burner phones. After using one of them throw it away. Maybe this guy was a cheap bastard. He was old school. Every old school cat that I know is always cheap. For being cheap this idiot will now head to the U.S where a cold concrete cell awaits him. Nuff Said!!!
