Abigael González Valencia, alias El Cuini, leader of the criminal group Los Cuinis, partners and administrators of the economic resources of the Jalisco Cartel – New Generation (CJNG), was transferred from the Santa Martha Acatitla Social Rehabilitation Center for Men in the Iztapalapa district of Mexico City to the Federal Center for Social Rehabilitation (CEFERESO), No. 1, El Altiplano, in Almoloya de Juárez, State of Mexico.
The brother-in-law of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, alias “El Mencho”, leader of the CJNG, was transferred on September 6 by helicopter with the participation of personnel from Penitentiary Security, the Undersecretary of the Penitentiary System, the Secretariat of Citizen Security (SSC) of Mexico City, as well as the Secretariat of National Defense (SEDENA) and the National Guard (GN).
“At the moment, the reasons for his transfer from the prison in the eastern part of the capital to the maximum security prison are unknown,” according to media reports.
Abigael González, who was arrested by the Navy in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, in February 2015, faces criminal proceedings for homicide, money laundering, organized crime, arms trafficking and carrying weapons for the exclusive use of the Armed Forces, according to the Attorney General’s Office (FGR).
Last July, in criminal case 45/2015, the head of the First District Court for Federal Criminal Proceedings, with residence in Jalisco, issued a second formal arrest warrant to Cuini for carrying a firearm.
