La Chapiza Captures Two Males Working For The MF Group Responsible For The Attempted Arson Of The Sushi Resturant "Rancho Roll" In Culiacan, Sinaloa

 "Char" for Borderland Beat 

DECEMBER 1, 2024 

The ongoing tit-for-tat war conflict between La Chapiza, and the MF Group persists in Culiacan, as the MF Group aims to confront La Chapiza within the city. 

On this turn though, La Chapiza captured two male subjects who were allegedly convinced by Mayo Flaco organization associates of a big paycheck if they would set fire to a business establishment linked to Los Chapos. Bryan Carrillo is the MF associate who is believed to be the mastermind of planning the arson. Mr. Carillo supposedly has direct contact with Ismael Zambada Sicairos, "Mayo Flaco" leader of the Mayo Zambada criminal organization. 

The two captives whose faith has been sealed appear to have been burned alive by La Chapiza but the video ends abruptly as they are set on fire.

Sicario: What’s your name?

Captive: Santiago

Sicario: What do you do for a living?

Captive: I work at city hall. Specifically I do maintenance for the Secretariat of Public Safety. In addition, I also wash AC units. 

Sicario: What’s the reason why we have you here?

Captive: I did some maintenance on an AC unit some time ago for my friend Bryan Coronel. And he offered me an opportunity where a lot of money was going to be made. All I had to do was gather some people who would be down to torch the Ranch Roll establishment. Or place a bomb out in public. Things of that nature, to cause chaos. He then got in contact with his boss Mayito Flaco over the radio. We were told that there would be support for us, money, and everything else that goes with it. 

Sicario: Who all did you get to help out?

Captive: I was able to get my friend Juan here who’s next to me involved. 

Sicario: Where is he from?

Captive: He’s a window cleaner from the Tres Ríos subdivision. 

Sicario: Is he the person that torched the Ranch Roll establishment?

Captive: Yes, he’s the person who torched it. 

Sicario: You were the one who took him there to do that job?

Captive: Yes, that was me. 

Sicario: You were the person who bought what all was needed for him to do it?

Captive: Yes. 

Sicario: What would you like to say to the general public?

Captive: I would like to say to everyone that you’re better off working a normal job. Don’t get involved in these affairs. No one is going to mess with you if you stay away from the wrong things. 

Sicario: What about the Mayito Flaco mob, what would you like to say to them?

Captive: Don’t be fucking up. Much less use people with lies or treat us like this. 

Sicario: Keep sending us more individuals like this you sons of bitches. And this is how they will all end up.  Everyone who supports the Mayito Flaco mob will meet the same fate as those you see here. 

Video #2

Sicario: This is how the lives of everyone will end. For those who get involved in torching businesses. This goes for anyone that wants to draw law enforcement attention in the wrong direction. We’re going to immolate every dick that burns businesses down. We’re going to fucking burn you guys alive here.

Federal forces detained two alleged “Mochohomitos” and/or “Linces” hitmen, belonging to the “Beltrán Leyva” criminal organization, led by Jesús Alfredo Beltrán Guzmán, alias “El Mochomito”.

Information from the federal government indicates that while carrying out reconnaissance and surveillance actions in the town of El Alto del Coyote, Army personnel from the National Guard were met with gunfire and after repelling the aggression, they detained two people.

The detainees are linked to “Mochomito”, a cell that is supporting the “Los Chapitos” faction in their dispute for territory.

The detainees were found with four long arms, a Barret rifle, a grenade launcher, two grenades, 15 magazines, 420 useful cartridges, two tactical vests and 1,000 fentanyl pills.

Alfredo Beltrán Guzmán is the son of Alfredo Beltrán Leyva, and was arrested in 2016 in Zapopan, Jalisco, but was released in 2021.

Record Breaking Narco Sub Seizure Reveals New Trans-Pacific Smuggling Route

 "Socalj" for Borderland Beat

The discovery of a semi-submersible vessel carrying cocaine in the Pacific was part of a global six-week operation against drug smugglers.

Colombia's navy has uncovered a new drug smuggling route from South America to Australia after intercepting a "narco submarine" packed with cocaine in the Pacific Ocean.

The discovery was made during a six-week anti-narcotics operation — carried out jointly by Colombian authorities and security officials from dozens of other countries — that resulted in the seizure of at least 225 tonnes of cocaine, according to media reports.

"This is perhaps the largest seizure of cocaine in transit made by Colombia in history," Colombian President Gustavo Petro said in a post on X.

El Comanche's Alleged Secretary In Charge Of MF Group HItmen In Culiacan Sends Ultimatum To Law Enforcement Authorities In Culiacan, Sinaloa

 "Char" and "Enojon" for Borderland Beat 

NOVEMBER 29, 2024

The recently published audio of a male voice sending an ultimatum on behalf of Ismael Zambada Sicairos, "Mayo Flaco," allegedly belongs to El Comanche's top secretary, who is in charge of the MF Group in Culiacan, Sinaloa. This is according to a source who asked to remain anonymous, and the male voice warns law enforcement authorities to stay out of the fight of the La Mayiza against Los Chapos. 

The audio also confirms what we mentioned in a previous Borderland Beat post: that La Mayiza or MF Group has made an offensive attack against La Chapiza inside Culiacan because Los Chapos are unwilling to fight outside of Culiacan city. 

LA MAYIZA ULTIMATUM 

VIDEO TRANSLATION

BY: SOL PRENDIDO 

Ok, so here it goes. This audio message goes out to the local municipal government. Which are the municipal, state, ministerial, and highway patrolmen. I ask that you not get involved in affairs that don’t pertain to you. 

This war is only between the Chapo and Mayo operatives. As you may already know, the Mayiza gunmen have entered the city. Therefore, the dirty Chapo Zetas chose not to fight in areas where the civilian population wasn’t around. 

They’re out there robbing, extorting, burning homes down, and kidnapping women. Because of this, we’ve been tasked with having to go into the city. And we’re now inside Culiacán. Overall, this is currently the biggest problem for everyone. 

The municipal and state policemen who are supporting our adversaries are hereby advised not to get involved in any armed attack. This fight isn’t against you guys. But it is against the filthy Chapo gunmen. 

We’re already aware that there are individuals working with them who are there under threat. We also know who they are and what vehicles they move around in. We’re giving you guys an opportunity not to get involved in this. 

We in turn won’t attack you. Mayito Flaco respectively sends out this communique to everyone. So that peace and calm return to the state. And in turn, you don’t get involved in this conflict between the Chapo and Mayo assassins. 

We currently have a winning balance in our favor. Everyone already knows that the Sombrero mob is winning the majority of this war. Once again, I ask everyone not to get involved in a conflict that has nothing to do with you. 

Otherwise, if we find out that anyone came against or shot at the Sombrero mob, we will be coming after you. We are the absolute Mayito Flaco mob. And we’re also at his service. Long live the Mayiza mob.

Ken Salazar Admits U.S. Is “Part Of The Problem” Of Drug Use And Arms Trafficking

 "Char" for Borderland Beat 

This information was posted from PROCESO 

Leaving behind the scolding tone of last November 13, to which the Mexican government responded through a diplomatic note, Salazar echoed the letter that President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo sent to President-elect Donald Trump in response to his threat to impose tariffs.

WRITTEN BY: MATHIEU TOURLINE

MEXICO CITY (apro).- After the outspoken complaint regarding Mexico's security policy that he expressed two weeks ago, the U.S. ambassador to Mexico, Ken Salazar, acknowledged today that drug consumption and arms trafficking from his country are “part of the problem”, which is why the governments on both sides of the border must address it “as partners”.

Leaving behind the scolding tone of last November 13, to which the Mexican government responded through a diplomatic note, Salazar echoed the letter that President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo sent to President-elect Donald Trump in response to his threat to impose tariffs when he takes office on January 20; the diplomat also qualified his criticism of the security strategy, stating that he said them “with great hope” that “the program that President Sheinbaum is developing” will work.

In a press conference held at the residence of the US Embassy, Salazar insisted on his agreement with the governments of Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo and her predecessor, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, on migration issues, and emphasized that his government --that of Joe Biden-- continues to be committed to North America as a free trade zone.

Salazar repeated that Joe Biden's administration is “aligned” with the plans to invest in development projects in the South and Southeast of Mexico -he explicitly referred to the Isthmus of Tehuantepec-, as well as in the regions of origin of migrants, to address the roots of migration, and celebrated that he worked “very closely” with López Obrador on migration issues.

The diplomat, who stated two weeks ago that the strategy of “hugs not bullets” had failed, boasted that thanks to the joint work of both governments, the number of irregular migrant crossings between both countries fell by 65% to 75%.

"Socalj" for Borderland Beat

Based on an AP News Article

Ronald D. Yandell, a leader of the Aryan Brotherhood prison gang, allegedly attacked two officers last Friday morning as they were transferring him back to his cell after an appointment at the prison’s health building.

Prison officials say he drew an improvised weapon with razor blades against the officers. He dropped the weapon after an officer used pepper spray and was restrained and removed without further incident, officials said. No staff was injured.

Yandell is serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole for first-degree murder and voluntary manslaughter. He arrived at the Sacramento (New Folsom) California prison in 2004. The case will be referred to the county district attorney’s office for possible felony prosecution for attempted homicides, officials said.

How Mencho's Son-in-Law Fled to California After Faking His Death

"Socalj" for Borderland Beat

In 2020, social media and narco news outlets reported on the death of "El Mencho." Such rumors have been commonly thrown around with these elusive drug lords who have been out of the public eye for decades. It is believed the leader of CJNG was receiving treatments for his kidneys.

A few years later, a similar death rumor was being spread within the CJNG organization itself, that someone very close to "El Mencho," and his family was recently killed because he had lied to the leader of the CJNG. 

This rumor soon spread to the intended ears of Mexican and US law enforcement. Cristian Fernando Gutiérrez-Ochoa, better known as "El Gaucho" was dead...that is until on November 19, 2024 when he was arrested in a luxury home in Riverside, California, living under the name of Luis Miguel Martinez.
