Arizona police seize large quantities of weapons, methamphetamine and marijuana, netting 20 suspects and $2.4m in cash.

Police in the city of Tempe announced on Friday that 20 people had been arrested and $2.4m was found after a six-month investigation involving local and federal authorities.

Officials said they obtained 15 search warrants and seized an airplane, 14 weapons, 13.6kg of methamphetamine and nearly three tons of marijuana.

The Drug Enforcement Administration said the bust was part of “Operation Nayarit Stampede”, aimed at attacking a drug trafficking organisation that stretched across the Mexico border and into Arizona.

The seizure comes after American authorities arrested Noriega Rios, an alleged top operative in the La Familia Cartel, last week.

Noriega was purportedly a contact between the Michoacan Cartel and the powerful leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel, including kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, a man the US Treasury Department has called the world’s most powerful drug trafficker.

Officials say the Sinaloa-linked operation sent drugs to New York, Alabama and California, as well as other parts of the country.

The drugs were transported inside hidden compartments of commercial tractor-trailers crossing the Mexican border.

Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman proclaimed his presence in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas and said to be cleaning the region of Zetas when he displayed 14 dismembered bodies of alleged Zeta members.

El Chapo, leader of the Sinaloa cartel, demonstrated in this brutal action his presence in this border city along with other criminal groups that fall within the domain of his organization who are said to be working in keeping the area clean of Zetas and sent a message to Zeta leaders by displaying the horrific dismember bodies of several men alleged to have affilliation to Los Zetas.

El Chapo Guzman also left a picture to show evidence of their presence in Nuevo Laredo where a large number of members belonging to the Sinaloa cartel pose next to a narco banner (all pictures credit to BDN).

In the narco banner, left next to a pile of dismembered bodies belonging to Los Zetas, El Chapo calls into question the lack of courage of Miguel Ángel Treviño Morales, alias El Z-40, for being afraid to face him personally and sent a message by throwing the bodies of his group in his own turf.

The banner appears next to at least fourteen dismembered bodies where El Chapo promises the public that he will continue to cleanup of the area of Los Zetas, so that the people of Nuevo Laredo can live free and in peace.

He also assures the people that his groups will teach Los Zetas how to work like the Sinaloa cartel without kidnappings, extortions or quotas.

 

A BB loyal reader sent the translation from El Chapo narco manta (narco banner)

To the citizens:
We have started to rid Nuevo Laredo of the Zetas because we want a city that is free and because we want the citizens to live in peace. We are Drug traffickers and we don’t mess with honest, hardworking people or local businesses. We do not want anybody to pay protection money to these scums. Therefore we consider anybody who pays extortion money traitors because they help finance the Zetas. I am going to show these filthy zetas how it’s done Sinaloa style; without kidnapping and without, extortion.

And this goes to el 40. You don’t scare me. I know you sent el H to dump those heads here on my turf (Sinaloa) because you don’t have the balls to do it yourself.

Atte:EL CHAPO

Don’t forget that I’m your daddy

Y a comenzamos a limpiar a Nuevo Laredo de Zetas porque queremos una ciudad libre y para que vivan en paz. Nosotros somos narcotraficantes y no nos metemos con la gente honesta, trabajadora o el comercio.Queremos que nadie pague cuotas a estas lacras. Por lo tanto, todo aquel que pague cuota,es considerado un traidor por financiar a Los Zetas..Le voy a enseñar a estos mugrosos a trabajar al estilo Sinaloa, sin secuestrar, sin costos, ni extorsionesY en referencia a ti 40, te digo que no me espantas. Sé que mandaste al H a tirar las cabezas aquí en mi tierra, porque no tienes los huevos ni la gente para venir a hacerlo tu.

Mexico, April 5 (Reuters). – The leaders of the Sinaloa cartel, especially “El Chapo” Guzman, Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada, and Vicente Zambada Niebla, “The Vicentillo” have been the ones who have betrayed their rivals to U.S. and Mexican authorities, Efe said the writer Malcolm Beith.

 Mexico, (Reuters). – The leaders of the Sinaloa cartel, especially “El Chapo” Guzman, Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada, and Vicente Zambada Niebla, “The Vicentillo” have been the ones who have betrayed their rivals to U.S. and Mexican authorities, Efe said the writer Malcolm Beith.

“According to testimony, it appears that ‘El Mayo’, ‘El Chapo’ and ‘Vicentillo’ worked more to inform the authorities about their enemies, the enemies of the Sinaloa cartel,” the writer in an interview with Efe, due to his latest book “Until the last day” (Ediciones B, 2012).

During the government of Felipe Calderon, who started in December 2006 with military operations against the cartels, violent confrontations between drug traffickers and organizations against public corporations have left some 50,000 dead.

In his book, Beith collected several testimonies of how “El Chapo” leaked reports to the DEA and other Mexican authorities over their enemies, and it has used various means and channels.

Beith, who has also written an extensive essay semibiográfico on “El Chapo”, “The last drug,” said the lawyer Humberto Castro Loya became an intermediary with the U.S. authorities to transmit information on numerous transactions.

“According to Loya Castro, ‘El Chapo’, ‘the May’ and released the soup Zambada Niebla (reported) on various rivals. And according to court documents filed in the name of Vicente Zambada Niebla in Chicago, Loya Castro and DEA developed a symbiotic relationship , apparently the attorney was allowed to be present in meetings and discussions concerning the DEA’s Sinaloa cartel, “says Beith in his book.

Moreover, according to the writer, the U.S. authorities would not share information about the Sinaloa cartel, “so as not to apprehend or interfere with their operations,” and, according to Loya, DEA was grateful for the information provided by the leaders of the cartel Sinaloa.

Another case cited by Beith was that of Jose Manuel Fierro, a captain of police in Ciudad Juarez who was hired by “El Chapo” to deliver information to U.S. authorities in El Paso on “The Line”, the armed wing poster Juarez.

“We do not know exactly how manipulated ‘El Chapo’ to certain officers. But we know, according to official reports and testimonies, that ‘El Chapo’ tried to manipulate DEA agents since 2008,” the writer.

He added that at the same time, apparently, “people of” El Chapo “was trying to manipulate his head too. Was a very risky game for them, but they did.”

It also reveals that Beith orders “Shorty” and “El Mayo”, Vicente Zambada Niebla in 2009 met with DEA ​​agents to work with them to “purge their charges of conspiracy to import cocaine.”

To Beith, the Sinaloa cartel is the most powerful organization in Mexico, has spread to most Latin American countries and jumped from there to Africa, Europe and Asia, with links to various criminal organizations, among them the Italian Mafia.

According to the writer, usually arrested drug lords provide detailed information to negotiate more flexible terms in their trials and sentences, but no one knows exactly how many arrests have been made from these accusations.

“We do not know exactly how it has affected the fight against organized crime . seems, for example, that the Sinaloa cartel is winning in Ciudad Juarez, but it would be a bit presumptuous to declare that it is because of reports of ‘El Chapo’ “Beith said.

The writer said that Mexican authorities act the same way it does around the world, seeking informants, even among drug dealers and other groups, a method which is the basis for achieving the major arrests.

He said that does not mean that this is a deal, “because there is no evidence” of these.

Beith said that according to estimates of the Mexican Army in organized crime actively involved half a million people, which generate millions in earnings representing the third foreign exchange earner after oil and remittances, tourism and above.
