My usual go to for Narco news http://www.borderlandbeat.com/2023/01/live-update-ovidio-guzman-lopez-el.html?m=1
Some of these videos are in the link that mc posted If you click on the first and last one there are videos
I guess some Honduras drug kingpin was killed in jail a while back. His wife was then executed a couple days ago. Yikes.
I think so. There's another video that shows the wife getting out of the car with the two bodyguards after they pulled up to the bakery or whatever. I don't think I ever saw that older woman until it switches to the camera inside of the store. Here's a link to the longer video but it's on theync so there's obviously a bunch of other weird shit on the page -- https://theync.com/deceased-traffickers-wife-bodyguards-executed-at-a-bakery-full.htm
I know I’m not supposed to read the comments but I did and yea they were horrible but it also seems like they didn’t kill the older woman. And the outside video reminded me of Mr Wick and Francis were he just takes the security guard’s gun and let’s him live.
So I'm in Juarez last night and see this guy splayed out on the road. Obvio hit but the news is claiming suicide by running into traffic. I know what I saw but wtf, I hate the damn police in Mexico sometimes.
Was she still involved in the drug trade? If so, deserved it. I've got no sympathy for anyone involved in this shit.
For reference, this guy banged a dudes wife and was told not to play. He cancelled the concert and showed up anyway. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergio_Gómez_(singer)
Going to punta mita this weekend. Zero Peso Pluma will be played… not that I know his music. Been blasting el sonidito as a nice throwback to get me in the mood for the trip but it gets annoying quickly. El pato - can’t remember are you in El Paso or something and just go back and forth a lot? I’m in Houston but have a lot of friends here that are from el paso and they’ve all got their fun stories but all good dudes.
Yeah, I don't go as much now since they make it such a hassle to get back. But I love the culture of the city and the food is insane and insanely cheap
Whoa Less than 4 percent of criminal investigations are ever solved in Mexico, studies show, and about 92 percent of crimes went unreported in 2022. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/20/world/americas/violence-mexico-killings.html
I spent much of the last decade working for one of the largest companies in Mexico/Mexicans within that company. They have an enormous sense of pride for their heritage, but they 100% want to live in the U.S. due to stats like that. These guys used to drive from the U.S. to their hometowns in Mexico overnight, but have since switched to only daylight hours and if they are taking kids they fly. Really sad....some of the smartest and absolute friendliest people I've ever worked with...but, they are disgusted with the violence and lack of control of where they grew up.
let them know it’s not that much better here. Crime is under reported here and when reported it mostly goes unsolved. I think only 11% of reported crimes end in arrest and of that only 2% end in conviction.
Seeing some reports that one of the Chapitos, Joaquin Guzman Lopez surrendered as well. https://www.reuters.com/world/ameri...n-el-chapo-us-custody-sources-say-2024-07-25/
Pretty wild. Reports coming out that El Mayo was tricked into entering the US, believed he was on a private flight to look at cartel properties, clandestine labs, smuggling routes, etc. with Joaquin Guzman Salazar (Chapo’s son), but was really being setup to be handed over to US authorities. Ovidio’s (another Chapo son extradited a year ish ago) federal prison status/location recently changed in the online database, speculation he moved to witsec and was involved in this deal somehow. What’s interesting is in the last year or so El Mayo has reportedly been on his death bed, laying low, had stepped back and given day to day control to his son Mayito Flaco. There’s also been open tension/distrust with El Mayo’s faction and the other two main CDS factions, The Chapitos (4 sons of El Chapo) and El Guano (El Chapo’s brother/Chapitos uncle). The Chapitos openly accused El Mayo of holding back his gunmen during the first Culiacanazo when the MEX military captured and then released Ovidio (Chapitos brother) after gunmen effectively took over the city. The Chapitos were also on the outs with El Mayo for their suspected injudicious killings of Mayo lieutenants/operators. It’s almost inconceivable knowing the state of relations between the factions, the level of distrust, that Mayo would get on a plane with a Chapito without every security measure in place, his own pilots, bodyguards on board, radio contact, real time flight route monitoring, etc. Really curious to get more details.
Story gets weirder. Mexican government says they weren’t involved in any part of this operation. Go on to say when the plane departed Sonora, they know Mayo wasn’t on it. Amateur plane/flight tracking enthusiasts on twitter say the tail number, visible from photos online, was tracked as having gone from Sonora to Brazil and then to the US. Mayo may have been hiding in Brazil, snatched and extradited from Brazil, etc. Someone also claimed to have called the company that tail number/plane is registered to, and they said that’s not their plane and it’s not being used by any govt. Specation is it’s a ghost plane, planes that copy the tail numbers of real planes of the same make/model and similar regions are used by both the cartel to hide shipments and govt agencies as well. A lot of MZ lieutenants have been turning up dead in the last few months. Usually blamed on the Chapitos, but could have been Mayo’s son Mayito Flacco eliminating those he deemed to be competition/more loyal to his father than him for his probable succession. Which makes sense bc when El Chapo went to prison for the last time, his sons and his old lieutenants all ended up warring with each other. The Chapitos even fought with their blood uncle, El Guano. The narco juniors (Chapo’s and Mayo’s children and their cells usually made up of personal childhood friends and cousins) are looked at as nepo kids by their father’s lieutenants who’d fought their way up and earned their success whereas the narco juniors were handed turn key drug franchises, posting their big ranches, exotic cars and animals all over IG and bringing unnecessary attention.
Gunners mentioned all the money these kingpins have and thought some might find this interesting… I, along with other organized crime nerds, have been geolocating and tracking properties/ranches owned by these guys and it’s wild. The top guys have 30, 40, 50+ properties. These locations I have marked are just properties with ties to CDS. This is one if El Mayo’s nicest ranches in El Salado, Sinaloa…
This is also pretty interesting… In Durango there’s a mountain town called Vascogil, basically impenetrable to outsiders, a Mayo stronghold where many narco pilots live/are based out of.
All yesterday, I confused him with Amado and perplexed why this wasn’t a much bigger story. Realized at some point today, I’m a fucking idiot(save your jokes assholes) Still believe Amado is alive, only smart 1 to get out
I’m an amateur with this cartel stuff but the parody NYT headlines something like “Biden’s border officials arrested a cartel kingpin with zero fatalities; here’s why that’s bad for the dems”
