“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat
The deadly Cartel de la Sierra aka Sierra Cartel aka Los Tlacos have taken the time out of their busy schedule to remind locals of an agreed upon truce.
Their announcement comes hard on the heels of a successful campaign that was waged against the mighty Familia Michoacána.
Where over a dozen gunmen not only perished in the gun battle. Their corpses were also shot again and set ablaze. The humiliating defeat suffered by the Familia Michoacána forced its leaders into submission for a peace treaty.
Sicario: For all the townspeople of Iguala, Cocula, Tepecua (Tepecoacuilco de Trujano), and Huitzuco. It was a whole year of war. Thank God that it’s now over with. The bosses have made a truce and the decision of the leaders is to be respected. To all those citizens from Iguala and its surroundings, do not let yourself be fooled by extortionists, by assholes, by thieves.
The government personnel need to do their jobs. We have no problems with you. The problem is with people who don’t want to live well. To all those brilliant people from Iguala. This is your last chance to get the fuck out of here. Because I’m going to kill you guys one at a time. Afterwards don’t bother claiming: ‘poor individuals, they had nothing to do with organized crime, surely innocent civilians were murdered’.
For all those individuals who are out here extorting. And using their lackeys to go out and collect payments. Once and for all you’re being warned. The first dumbass who goes out to ask for money and makes a deposit will be killed the fuck off. Ok? Because we know that they’re asking for money in the town of Iguala. And that in all the other towns there are extortions happening.
The tortilla shops and taxis services need not to fall into this lie. No one is to be charged an extortion fee. The same goes for the surrounding towns. We’re not extortionists. We all have our own money and our actual jobs. All the townspeople who were displaced from their homes need to return to their communities, their residences.
Go about your lives. This conflict was never against any of you. But unfortunately you got caught up within the crossfire. We’re here to respect and to take care of you guys. In addition, you can also count on us. We are the absolute Cartel de la Sierra!
Sicarios scream in unison: We are the absolute Sierra Cartel!
Sicario: We are the absolute mob for Mr. Gavilán!
Sicarios scream in unison: We are the absolute mob for Mr. Gavilán!
Sicario: We are the absolute mob for Señor 21!
Sicarios scream in unison: We are the absolute mob for Señor 21!
