In the past two years, violence in Guanajuato has exponentially increased by 160%. In January of 2016, 60 murders were registered. In the month of February, 2018 there were 156. [ population of Guanajuato is 6M].
The reason for the violence? The so called “Triangle of Guanajuato” or “Triangle of Bermuda”, a corridor that goes from León to Los Apaseos and passes through Salamanca, Irapuato and Celaya.
In this corridor passes pipelines of Petroleos Mexicanos (PEMEX), the main source of the “huachicoleros”, or gas thieves.
Data reveals that Guanajuato is the state with the largest clandestine fuel intakes.
In the first 11 months of 2017 it was recorded that there are 1,696 fuel retrieval points in the state. This makes it a most valuable commodity for cartels to capitalize on.
The triangle is disputed by two organized crime groups: Cartel Santa Rosa de Lima and Cartel Jalisco New Generation. (CJNG)
The Cartel Santa Rosa de Lima, is a reference of the town of the same name, located in the municipality of Guanajuato. It was there the the criminal organization was founded. It has since expanded to parts of the neighboring states of Queretaro and Michoacan.
This relatively new criminal organization was unveiled last October, when a video surfaced with several armed men appearing with their faces concealed.
In the video a subject is shown in front of the group threatening CJNG, it is Jose Antonio Yepez Ortiz also know as “El Marro”. El Marro’s name appeared in threatening cartulinas, left with the dismembered body and signed by CJNG over the weekend. The body was the son of the police commander of Irapuato.
What is known about El Marro’s criminal history, is that he was arrested 10 years ago in 2008, accused of robbery and organized crime. Unfortunately, he disappeared after paying bail.
Fuel theft is the mainstay of Cartel Santa Rosa de Lima, they also engage In drug trafficking and vehicle theft.
The threat that El Marro issues in the video, is due to the advancement of CJNG, led by Francisco Cerda Guillén, alías “El Señor de la Silla”.
CJNG is one of the main cartels involved in fuel theft. Both in Guanajuato and Veracruz, are the main entities where this crime is carried out. “El Marro” and “El Señor de la Silla” have maintained a vicious dispute over the territory of the “triangle”, a war that has caused immense bloodshed in the streets of Guanajuato.
In the last year a total of 84 people were murdered, while in the first two months of 2018 there were 328 cases of intentional homicide.
The presence of these cartels is also reflected in the number of complaints of drug trafficking. A crime that almost doubled in Guanajuato, from 3684 in 2016 to 6567 in 2017.
And in 2018, there were in the first two months 1436 cases.
With no end in sight.
