The Second District Court issued a formal arrest warrant (under the former honeycomb system) against Ramiro Pozos Gonzalez, “El Molca”, former leader of the now defunct La Resistencia cartel.

Last March, members of the Federal Ministerial Police served an arrest warrant for Ramiro P., who since December 2021 was sentenced to 28 years in prison for the crimes of organized crime, crimes against health in the modality of drug dealing in the hypothesis of possession of narcotics called cocaine hydrochloride and marijuana for commercial purposes, in its variant of sale; and stockpiling of firearms for the exclusive use of the Army, Navy and Air Force.
El Molca was arrested in September 2012, in an operation carried out by federal police in Metepec, State of Mexico, when he was 42 years old. At the time of his arrest, an AK-47 assault rifle known as “Cuerno de Chivo” (goat’s horn) with gold inserts was seized.
The founder of La Resistencia operated at the time in Jalisco, Michoacán, Mexico State and the Federal District.
In the 1990s, “El Molca” was part of the Knights Templar and later joined the Valencia cartel.
