THE BORDER REPORT
Keep an eye on Hiram Francisco Quiñonez, Nacho Coronel’s main man. He was Coronel’s private secretary and from all accounts, not a narco but a businessman. The Americans are expecting he’ll break early. I’m thinking, even sooner than that. He’s already been turned over to the PGR from SEDENA. They’re done with him, meaning he’s soon to disappear into the Kafka-esque cellars of the Mexican judicial system. It is telling that he was fingered as a sicario, and not as a contadór, by the Mexican Feds.
Yet, that’s what he’s been targeted as, an accountant, or a secretary. I spoke with an American intelligence official today, one from Mexico City, linked closely to the State Department following the arrest. Quiñonez kept current information on Nacho Coronel’s whereabouts, his contacts, his dates and appointments. He was the scheduler for Mexico’s Crystal King. I imagine he’ll have lots to say. From the pictures of his being handed over to the PGR, the military torture him. That’s a smart move, in my opinion, keeps the outrage levels down and the Americans happy. But Quiñonez is a businessman and may negotiate a way out of this. That, of course, is assuming the Mexican government didn’t enter into an acuerdo with someone else and they don’t need Quiñonez at all.
I’d expect a Zeta or a Pacific Gulf startup, maybe a Valencia, to go down next. Another Sinaloan would be too obvious so soon, I guess. Whether the Mexicans can have a serious impact on the Sinaloans before Calderón’s administration is up in two years will depend largely on whether the Sinaloans are willing to help build a peace. So far, they haven’t. We’ll find out.
Michel, to be honest, all this has not slowed anything down yet. It’s business as usual on the border. All these guys squeel when caught. Look at Jabali. Are they close to dismanteling sinaloa. No way. Nacho’s death sucks bad. But all in all, ten people will pick up the slack. Old faces will be picking up the pace. But its a sad day when people like Barbie are still running a muck, but a really big fish like nacho can be caught with his pants around his ankles. This the way someone wants it.

I get the feel that this is because Diego was never released. The rumor of Nacho’s arrest came right after Diego’s kidnapping but low and behold, it was never announced therefore never happened. There was speculation that there was a negotiation reguarding both. I also wonder if the rumors that have been flying for months that there was a rift between Nacho and Chapo may have had something to do with this too. Mochomo would certainly attest that this is a possibility. There was lots of speculation that Chapo ratted him out.

This kinda seems like a baseball game to me. One pitcher pegs the other teams shortstop, so that teams pitcher has to peg their shortstop to protect the team from more of the same. This goes along with my thoughts on the Diego kidnapping.

I purpose a theory, maybe a little out there, but I think it’s a possibility. The whole thing smells like a cover up to me. There has been no body other than the Nayarit news paper that kindly tried put one over on everybody. I know the goverment got alot of chit for ABL’s body, but thiese pics always find a way to the web or the press. So far, as far as I am aware we haven’t seen anything. If sinaloa is back by the goverment, having one of sinaloas capos play dead and disappear could be very beneficial for goverment, the federation, and for Nacho himself. Narco retirement plan. Just a thought. Like I said maybe a little far out.

Obviously someone wanted Nacho quiet. This was something in the making for a while. He knew too much and they sent the right people to do the job. But its sad. I have an attachment to the old Amado Carillo crowd. Nacho was old school. This started a while ago with the arrest of nacho a few weeks ago. this was how it needed to end, obviously. Some sick shit.

Here’s a conspiracy theory. They don’t show a body because it is too decomposed from the torturing to death he got when he was captured. And it took a couple of months since that death to find a believable event where they could plant his corpse.

No one is looking at the other option. Everyone here can agree that business isnt as usual. The biggest perk about being a narco was having the ability to drive around in trucks loaded with guys carrying guns shutting down intersections and throwing a party. With no one to stop you because of fear or that they are on your payroll. Now with all the government pressure, everyone has to be low profile or get popped.
Maybe, Nacho wanted out and the only way to do it was to fake his death. I am sure that all these guys have been feeling government pressure like never before. They have made their money why not get out. However unlikely it is possible a guy that has been down that long eventually gets fed up with whole thing.
Nacho had maintained a relatively low profile for decades and in the last year has jumped to the top stories in most of the newspapers.

One thing that came to mind is how The Coroneles were not afraid to go at it with the Military;
Magdaleno Coronel and Nacho and the Magdaleno’s son all died by way of military personel sure they had no choice but to fight, but about 90% of them dont put up a fight…There aint alot of folks that go down like that..and yet when he entered the Guadalajara Plaza he established a friendship with the Milenio group and made a no violence against athorities pact with them along with making himself a friend to them.

I dont buy it. If you have the power that these guys do, your first instict is not to fight it out, it should be to buy your way out of it. It has worked for them in the past and it is also a good way to make freinds out of your enemies.
What a great story he went out in the blaze of glory. With what happened to the last soldiers family that shot it out with a capo, we cant even confirm that in fact a soldier did die because the info wont be released.
Why was he the only one killed, you figure that his body guard would be the frist to go. When ABL got it, his personal guards went with him, Rojo & Chalito. Nacho was probably executed after he couldnt buy his way out because Calderon was in town and was to much of a burn. Just because you were arrested doesnt make you less of a man. Comming out shooting doesnt make you more of a man, it just makes you desperate with no other options.
[Reply]
True, but a lot of them are taken so they can’t put up a fight, 5:00 A.M when they are sleeping or passed out, like Teo. It’s probably worth looking into the circumstances surronding the capture of the major players from the last few years. I know Beltran and Eduardo Arellano put up a fight, or at least tried to, but who else?

Despite his testimony on CDG, I like that story about him pulling over the DEA convoy in Matamoros, and telling them ‘get the fook out of my city you fooking gringos’.
On the same subject, Tigrillo went without fight, but he was on a boat with his close family, children, etc, so it makes sense, his repetuniation also wasn’t like someone like his brother Ramon.
El Muletas despite the bravado went without incident as well.

This is my first time posting on here. I am a friend from the north and have been following this saga for years, but I must say that the drama has been more intriguing within the past year, especially after Beltran’s death, and all of the chaos, rumors, and speculation since then. Speaking of Osiel, you know the U.S. won’t have him forever and I wanted to ask for any opinions about what his role may be in the future (though I suspect it would be wise for him to hang up his hat). peace

I heard that an armed wing of the Sinaloa Cartel has broken off to start a faction of the Cartel de la Sierra in Durango. Supposibly the leader is Danny “El Peinado.” Apparent leader of Los Chachos. Does anyone kow if this is true. They are supposibly responsible for the recent beheadings in Durango City.

Durango is one of the most mountainous states in Mexico and the second least populated yet its the 3rd or 4th biggest, to me that equals alot of empty space to farm in.,and based on the times I have spent there it seems like a common way to get by.

People dont under stand how this all works. The Sinaloa Cartel and most other cartels dont do Business like General Motors. I would compare it more to McDonalds. A chain of franchises independently owned and operated. Granted that they have a The big muscle to make moves with the big boys but for the most part, most of the traffickers that are loyal to them are independents and relly on them for product and protection they are not on the payroll. Kinda like being able to use the McDonalds name and buying chicken nuggets by the truck load. They do things like offer political protection and rent out landing strips to smaller organizations. I do agree that they do have their own organization that manufactures, ships and distributes their own product but I estimate that as much as 60% of the merchandize moved by them is not owned by them but it is group investment.
With that said, Durango has always been and will always be a top player in this game. When you get to those Towns in the middle of that wilderness you know you are in gods country. But when you see guys doing patrols on Quads you know the Devil isnt far either. Beter behave.
Many of us Chinolas have their roots in Durango. The line that seperates the two states is blurred by the mountains. To the actual people that live along that mountain range, they dont care where Sinaloa ends and Durango begins because it is all the same people.

There were executions in Guerrero, but also beheadings in Durango, DGO. Supposibly, El Peinado and Barbie were friends, but had a falling out with Daniel “El Peinado” taking Los Chachos and forming his stronghold in Durango, which is Sinaloa Cartel territory. I think Barbie used to be in control for whatever little scraps he had left, but doesn’t seem like it anymore.

Supposibly El Peinado is a guy from DGO, TV Azteca said he was a educated individual from USA who has family ties in DGO and is close to El Chapo who lives in northern DGO close to El Peinados strong hold in Santiago. Supposed to be in his mid 30′s like La Barbie, and they were supposibly friends at one point. Supposed to be close allies with El Chapos wife and family from Canelas, DGO, just north from Santiago Papasquiaro.

What is the best option for the CDJ at this point? Are they as weak as it seems, do they have a chance against CDS? Ego, macho bullshit, and pride aside would sharing the Juarez plaza be an option?

Captura PGR a brazo derecho de ?El Chapo?
Jes?s Castro Pantoja. (Notimex)
México, DF.- La Procuraduría General de la República (PGR) informó de la detención, el 2 de noviembre, de Jesús Castro Pantoja, segundo hombre del cártel de Joaquín Guzmán Loera, alias “El Chapo”, quien aseguró en sus declaraciones que el pasado 29 de octubre sostuvo una reunión con el prófugo en Puebla.
Así lo informó en conferencia de prensa el titular de la PGR, Rafael Macedo de la Concha, quien además informó que el 3 de noviembre se detuvo a Adán Segundo Pérez Canales, quien desde el 12 de junio comandaba la célula del sureste del Cártel de Juárez.
Macedo de la Concha destacó que los dos detenidos son ex policías judiciales federales y que lograron ocupar lugares principales de los cárteles referidos.
Con respecto a Jesús Castro Pantoja, alias “El Antigüedad” o el “Chabelo”, dijo que de acuerdo con sus declaraciones el 29 de octubre “El Chapo Guzmán” se encontraba en Puebla, en compañía de su esposa Griselda López Pérez y que tenía escasos recursos para proseguir con su “infructuosa fuga”.
Sin embargo, destacó en conferencia de prensa Macedo de la Concha, el “Chapo” Guzmán cuenta aún con cuatro vehículos -ya identificados-, rifles AK-47, y cuatro pistolas tipo escuadra.
En la declaración ministerial de Castro Pantoja, continuó el Procurador, el inculpado reconoció que debido a la situación que sufre el Chapo Guzmán, el ahora prófugo piensa en el suicidio antes de volver a ser capturado por la autoridad.
La detención de Jesús Castro se debió a la orden de aprehensión girada por el Juez Tercero de Distrito con sede en el estado de México el 8 de septiembre pasado, por los delitos de violación a la ley Federal contra la Delincuencia Organizada y Delitos contra la salud en sus modalidades de producción, tráfico y extracción de narcóticos en el país.
De esta forma, según las declaraciones emitidas por el ahora detenido, Joaquín Guzmán Loera quien se escapó del Centro Federal de Readaptación Social de Puente Grande, Jalisco, se encuentra en México y con pocos recursos económicos para continuar su fuga.

Quieren al PRI o PAN?
Mexico is in the midst of its most violent confrontation with drug traffickers, with an estimated 28,000 people killed since President Felipe Calderon declared war on drug cartels soon after he took office in late 2006.
But drug trafficking has long gone on in Mexico, and for many decades operated under the eye of the government, according to analysts. Mexico changing politics has, in effect, changed the way drug cartels operate.
The Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, ruled Mexico for most of the 20th century. After 71 years in power, the party finally lost the presidency in 2000.
From the 1960s through the ’80s, organized crime was intertwined with the government, according to Diego Enrique Osorno, a Mexican journalist and author of the recently published history, The Sinaloa Cartel.
“In this period, you have to remember that the PRI had control of everything,” Osorno says. The PRI controlled the press, the oil fields, politics and even the narcotics trade.
Osorno obtained the memoires of Miguel Felix Gallardo, the founder of the Guadalajara cartel. “Gallardo viewed himself as essentially a soldier of the PRI,” Osorno says. “He worked for the system to maintain order. Back then, the PRI had a monopoly on power.”
George Grayson, a professor at the College of William and Mary, says the PRI covertly cut deals with the criminals to allow a particular trafficker to operate in a particular part of Mexico.
“The capos would pay bribes to local, state and federal officials; in return, the government would turn a blind eye to their activities,” he says.
But Mexican drug gangs under the PRI had to follow strict rules. They were supposed to act discreetly, spurn kidnapping, avoid killing civilians and not encroach on another cartel’s turf.
“If in fact the cartels broke the rules of the game, the PRI had the capacity to come down on them like a ton of bricks,” Grayson says.
A major narcotics trafficker at the time was Pablo Acosta. In the mid-1980s, Acosta controlled smuggling along a swath of the Texas border south of El Paso.
Terrence Poppa, a reporter at the El Paso Herald Post, wrote a biography of Acosta titled Drug Lord to try to explain how the Mexican drug trafficking business worked. What he discovered shocked him.
“It was an organized type of protection that ran all the way to Mexico City, and involved the top layers of government, including the president of Mexico,” he says.
Poppa found that the governor’s office in Chihuahua state had sold Acosta the right to control drug smuggling around the border area adjacent to the Big Bend area of Texas.
Each month, Poppa says, Acosta paid the local police, military and particular PRI officials a cut of his profits. Those PRI officials in turn sent money each month to their bosses further up the governmental hierarchy.
“It was a protection set-up. And this is what Pablo Acosta benefited from. And that was how he was able to operate, and all other traffickers in Mexico — it was like a universal system,” Poppa says.
With so many people in government getting bribes, there was little incentive to crack down on the narcotics trade. The PRI’s kickback system even encouraged the cartels to expand, Poppa says.
The cartels ramped up their arms smuggling networks. They diversified into legitimate businesses to launder their profits. They recruited special forces soldiers to be their muscle.
Then the PRI lost the presidency in 2000 to Vicente Fox and his National Action Party, or PAN, and Mexico was left with a monster it couldn’t control.
“The PRI gave an enormous amount of space for organized crime to flourish,” Poppa says. “An enormous amount of space.”
Calderon, also of PAN, won election in 2006 and succeeded Fox. Calderon’s government is working to crack down on the cartels, but organized crime is fighting back with heavy weapons, grenades and even car bombs.
The offensive has destabilized parts of the country, scared away foreign investment and left thousands dead. And despite the deployment of thousands of federal forces, some of the corrupt structures established under the PRI still exist, analysts say.
Calderon has blamed the United States and its appetite for cocaine, marijuana and other substances for stoking the conflict through drug consumption. “It’s as if our neighbor were the biggest drug addict in the world,” he wrote in an editorial printed in Mexican newspapers in June.
In the Mexican Congress, there have been calls for the country to give up the drug war entirely and legalize all narcotics.
Poppa says that if the United States were to decriminalize drugs it would help eliminate the huge profits garnered by the brutal cartels.
“In my view, the best reason for ending drug prohibition is to save Mexico, to save the democracy of Mexico that the Mexican people have struggled so hard to gain,” he says.
Ironically, one of the effects of the drug violence has been a resurgence in popularity for the PRI, says Denise Dresser, a political scientist in Mexico City.
The PRI is seeking to shed its past image as corrupt and authoritarian. The party has made gains in recent local elections and is seeking to regain the presidency in 2012. It has promised it can manage the cartels far better than Calderon.
“It’s as if the Communist Party were resurgent in Russia. We’re witnessing, in many ways, the return of an authoritarian party that governed Mexico for 71 years,” Dresser says.
The drug war has dominated Calderon’s term in office, but despite his declarations to the contrary, there are few signs that he’s winning.
Whoever wins the 2012 elections is expected to take a new approach toward the cartels. Many voters may even hope for a return to the days when the PRI let organized crime run drugs unfettered up to the U.S. border, but kept the violence off the streets.

Reading the posts on this board is amazing. Mexico is burning down and you sound like a bunch of grandmothers catching up on the favorite soap opera.
You expect Calderon to be “winning” in 6 years over a drug trafficking system that has been entrenched for 40 years? Come on. Give the guy a break.

Coronel was considered to be the third ‘leader’ of the Sinaloa cartel, and may be the biggest fish the Mexicans have caught—if that’s the right word—so far in the drug war. The raid also netted the arrests of 10 of Coronel’s bodyguards, over $7 million in cash, jewelry, three luxury vehicles and perhaps most importantly, his laptop. Authorities have announced that its contents have already been used to find and arrest Mario Carrasco Coronel, Nacho’s nephew and most likely successor. The information gleaned from the laptop could end up having a devastating effect on the ability of Nacho’s organization to operate. Reports claim that it contained information on companies he used to import drugs and launder funds, as well as information on his contacts. We’ll soon see how this plays out for the rest of his outfit in Guadalajara, and whether the intelligence will be used to seriously disrupt their ability to operate.

That was a pretty good article, and I’d like to see more of those, it didn’t necessarily inform me of anything I didn’t already know, but it laid out the facts in a detailed and lengthy manner, which the material certainly warrants, as opposed to hastily thrown together snapshots of a complex and intricate subject like the cartels in Mexico. The lack of good coverage on the subject by most american media outlets is disappointing, even when it’s local news, there seems to be a lack of scrutiny and detail, that appears in stories about the Iraq war, and the Gulf spill. In San Diego recently, there was a fairly major effort against people of Inge working in local communities, some important and interesting people were arrested and indicted, in a case involving wire taps, informants, kidnapping and murder for hire, and there has hardly been any coverage of it. One headline article and thats it. On small criticism is that the focus seemed to be on the Beltran Leyvas’s, and not much speculation or knowledge about the fall out in Nacho’s territories, I presume it will be Zetas and the Beltranes, against La Famila.
