“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat
This Sunday morning a convoy of 80 armored trucks and dozens of armed men entered the town of El Golfo de Santa Clara, causing several confrontations to break out, the gunmen who arrived were commanded by Los Rusos who had confrontations for more than 3 hours with members of La Chapiza, from three to six in the morning.
The Rusos had the support of Los Charlis from Peñasco, their allies, since cells were created by the extinct “Macho Prieto” mob, their objective was to eliminate Samuel Ibarra Peralta, alias “El Pía” and his lieutenant nicknamed “El Gorila” , both criminal leaders at the service of the Los Chapitos cartel, who keep fishermen and merchants trapped, causing a strong economic loss due to the collection of fees and extortion, to the extent that the men of the sea have resorted to exchanging their products for food.
Through a letter circulated on social networks, the residents of the Gulf hope that things will now change and they hope that with the arrival of this new group to the Gulf there will be a change, for years they have been oppressed and unable to say anything, for fear of being killed or disappeared. Operatives from La Chapiza had a “tax” for each kilo of fish, this area went from being a productive region to almost a ghost town, thanks to Samuel Ibarra Peralta aka Pía and Jesús Aurelio Ibarra Ramiro aka Commander Aurelio.
The statement says “the doors are open, they only ask that the new group doesn’t abuse like the others.”
