Former allies of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, El Mencho, dispute control over the western part of the country: Colima, Jalisco, Nayarit, Michoacán and Guanajuato, where there have been 643 murders reported from January to July.
Carlos Enrique Sánchez Martínez, El Cholo, founder of the Nueva Plaza cartel – the first split facing El Mencho – may have support from the Sinaloa cartel.
To this alliance, according to sources consulted by the security cabinet, is the return of Erick Valencia Salazar, El 85, founder, together with El Mencho, of the most powerful organization to date.
The western part of the country is one of the most important, strategically, for the drug cartels, as the ports of Manzanillo and Lázaro Cárdenas are the gateway for chemical precursors from Asia for the manufacture of synthetic drugs.
Valencia Salazar was arrested in March 2012 during an operation implemented by elements of the Ministry of National Defense in the municipality of Zapopan.
He remained in the maximum security prison of El Altiplano, but at the end of December of last year a judge acquitted him for violations of due process. Since then he would have had contact with El Cholo, who, before breaking with Nemesio Oseguera, acted as one of the closest in his circle to be the sicario leader.
Meanwhile, the strongest faction of the Sinaloa cartel -which includes Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada and the sons of Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán- may be financing El Cholo to take over areas in Jalisco, Colima, Nayarit and Michoacán.
The rupture between El Cholo and Nemesio Oseguera has increased violence in the area, which is under control of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. According to data from the Executive Secretariat of the National Public Security System, between January and July, 1,835 victims of intentional homicide were registered in Guanajuato; Jalisco follows with one thousand 243; Michoacán, 878; Colima, 403, and Nayarit, 248.
According to official information, El Cholo has a strong presence in Zapopan, but also has operations in Tonalá, Tlajomulco de Zúñiga and Tlaquepaque. In addition, he could gain strength in some points of Michoacán with the support of Valencia Salazar and in Nayarit with the Sinaloa group.
It is worth remembering that the Jalisco New Generation Cartel is blamed for the murder of the film students last March. According to the statement of one of the detainees, Omar “N” allegedly was paid 3 thousand pesos a week for dissolving the bodies in acid. El Mencho’s group allegedly confused the young people with members of the Nueva Plaza Cartel, because they were located in a building that was linked to them.
The government has increased its actions to capture El Mencho, for whom the reward has increased to 30 million pesos to whoever provides information about him.
