THE BORDER REPORT

Okay, so El Muletas, Raydel López Uriarte goes down. The top figure of the Sinaloa-backed crime family in Baja California was arrested this morning in La Paz, Baja California Sur.

Last Thursday, his sister, Diana Lopez Uriarte, was kidnapped as she left a supermarket in Tijuana. News reports from the area observed that it was a heavily armed commando that took her down around noon. In keeping with our seemingly shared rampant cynicism, I wonder a little if her kidnapping didn’t lead to Muletas’ arrest today. Actually, I wonder a lot.

As far as I can tell, Muletas has had to be the shortest reigning powerhouse of all the Mexican drug lords. He’d taken over Mayo Zambada’s peninsular cartel activity after the arrest of El Teo, Teodoro García Simental, last month. The rumor in late 2008 was that he’d been popped on a DUI charge in Chula Vista, Calif. If so, no record of his arrest was ever made by local police. It was a bit of an odd time; we’d gone from daily gunbattles with Tijuana’s Johnny Knoxville at their forefront, to silence. Then a new rumor started up, that he’d been flipped.

Tijuana Police Chief Julián Leyzaola Pérez, had challenged Muletas personally after Teo’s arrest, saying:

“To the person who positions himself to take García Simental’s place, from the moment you start, your clock is ticking, your time will come.”

Fighting words, and while we may all applaud Leyzaola’s audacity in the face of sadistic and arrogant crime families, I’m not entirely sure a law enforcement official should be taking a stance of vendetta. Public statements like that make me think the cops are willing to bend the rules to deal with the criminals and that’s a dangerous line to cross. There’s an old saying in Mexico, “Aveces te acercas tanto a la linea que no te das cuenta cuando la cruzas.” Sometimes.

Like kidnapping a sister, for instance.

No sé.

  5. What about Chikilin??.
    Good way to catch a fugitive is to hit him where it hurts and with that set a trap and wait..Nice..Michael.. I never thought about it in that way but it is very possible..Can anybody make a connection regarding Leyzaola and the AFO or is he hitting them hard too? I dont follow Tijuana as much but Leyzaola makes me wonder can anybody really hate crime that much or is he doing it for other personal gains.

  9. I have heard of pouring dog piss on loaded tires to throw the dogs of the scent. I guess tiger piss would really throw them off. Or a worse outcome, interest them. Why, do you have tigers? (LOL)

  13. kidnapping has been SOP for DEA for a very long time.
    I know people that were kidnapped and torchered for weeks at a time
    The U S wanted the federales to use any means to get info.
    When they were caught the press treated them like heros.
    Doing the lords work and all.

  15. Well, this is my cynical view. The police chief in TJ might just be letting everyone see what he wants him to see. What if he is actually blood related to some one, say, from the sinoloa cartel. He is only chalenging who they want out of the way. Or, maybe he is being payed to do more than the “lords work.” (By the waay, anyone that promotes law enforcement work with phrases like “lords work” has lost their mind. This is a law enforcement phrase made to make themselves feel better for being scum). You never heard of tiger piss? Well, that’s a first for me, too. But would not surprise me. By the way, when the DEA busted me years ago, they told me that the pedifile rat that took me down had found god and was doing the “lords work.”

  21. 3 capturas, ni un solo disparo
    sera que los corridos nos mienten
    no es posible si en las melodías
    aseguran que no hay mas valiente
    que un narco con su cuerno de chivo
    por mi parte no estoy muy creyente

    la amarraron, ladro de inmediato
    se que entienden a quien me refiero
    cayo un grande a finales de enero
    y sin duda por eso en febrero
    capturaron a quien se supone
    reemplazara ese trono abierto

    lo comenta la prensa en los diarios
    que estos supuestos capos se delatan
    uno al otro al verse en la lumbre
    de volada se afinan y cantan
    que yo sepa esta no es permitido
    dentro de lo que llaman la mafia

  22. The author of this article has no idea what he’t talking about! When he said, “He’d taken over Mayo Zambada’s peninsular cartel activity after the arrest of El Teo, Teodoro García Simental, last month.”

    FIRST OF ALL, EL MULETAS IS IN HIS OWN CARTEL! ITS CALLED THE “TIJUANA CARTEL”, THEY BROKE OFF FROM THE ARELLANO FELIX CARTEL. AND THE TIJUANA CARTEL IS ALLIED WITH SINALOA, THEY DON’T WORK FOR EACH OTHER!!!

    DANG!! THIS AUTHOR SHOULD BE SHOT AND RAPED. I FOUND OTHER BULL SH IT, BUT I’M TOO LAZY TO POST THEM ALL,
