Mexican authorities arrested a Colombian hitman working for a Mexican cartel, a police chief and 16 other people including policemen and assassins. All of the arrests are related to the recent execution of two federal policemen. Before the execution, the assassins disseminated a video showing federal police officers being forced to read a message accusing their bosses of stealing the drugs.
Last month, hit men from the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion (CJNG) kidnapped two federal police officers in Nayarit and forced them to record a video threatening the federal government for allegedly carrying out illegal actions against the cartels, Breitbart Texas reported. Days after the video came out, federal authorities confirmed finding the bodies of officers Alfonso Hernandez Villavicencio and Octavio Martinez Quiroz. The bodies of the kidnapped officers were found in the trunk of a vehicle and showed signs of torture.
As part of a large-scale investigation into the murder of the two cops, Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office announced the arrest of 18 cartel employees including various lawmen. The Colombian capo Mauricio “El Manotas” Varela Reyes, who is the regional head of the CJNG in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, is accused of having planned the kidnapping of the federal officers. To carry out the kidnapping, Mexican authorities claimed that Varela Reyes had the support of local police who were reported to be at the service of the cartel. They are believed to have stopped the two men and turned them over to the cartel.
The 18 men tied to the investigation include the chief of police of Puerto Vallarta, Ubaldo “El Cocho” Cruz Cárdenas and the CJNG communications head, Luis Manuel “El Ingeniero” Cruz Gomez. He is considered to be responsible for disseminating the recorded narco-message of the recorded federales.

SALTILLO, Coahuila — A Mexican court sentenced two police officers from the city of Saltillo to prison for their role in a string of armed robberies and rapes. The attacks occurred as the cops claimed to be carrying out police raids. The victims in all of the cases were underage teen females ranging from 12-17 years of age; they were raped at gunpoint.
A state judge in Coahuila handed down an 18-year prison sentence this week against Saltillo Police Officer Carmelo Diego Mancillas Rolon for his role in a series of violent armed robberies and brutal rapes that took place in 2016. The police officers were members of an elite task force called Centaurs. Instead of taking on organized crime, they carried out a series of armed robberies and rapes that terrorized the city. Saltillo is the state capital of the border state of Coahuila. The region has a long history of being used by drug cartels, primarily Los Zetas, to move drugs into Texas. The region is also well known for corruption where public officials and police officers protect drug cartels in exchange for hefty bribes.
Mancillas is the second police officer from the Centaurs unit to be sentenced in the case. Another judge sentenced Roberto Carlos Casillas Castillo to 13 years in prison earlier this year for his role in the case. Two more police officers Marino Jimenez Cruz and Roberto Santander remain behind bars awaiting further court proceedings in their case.
According to court documents filed in the case 353/2016, the team of police officers used unmarked SUVs to raid a home in Saltillo where they pretended to be state cops. The group pretended to carry out a drug raid but actually robbed the home taking electronics and other items. The officers then raped at gunpoint a 12-year-old girl who was at the house. In another case, the local cops pretended to be members of an elite state police unit and also pretended to carry out a drug raid but only to steal items from the home. In other robberies, the officers have been linked to the rape of a 15-year-old teen girl and the rape of a 17-year-old girl.
