Mexico says it captures drug-lord's top lieutenant
Mon 26 Dec 2011 - 21:25
Mexican army special forces have arrested a top lieutenant for
alleged drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, the Defense Ministry
said Monday.
Troops arrested Felipe Cabrera Sarabia on Friday in "a surgical
operation in Cuiliacan" in the northwestern state of Sinaloa, said
Ricardo Trevilla Trejo, a Defense Ministry spokesman.
Cabrera, who was responsible for the activities of the Pacific Cartel
in Durango and the southern part of the state of Chihuahua, was
detained after fleeing from Durango, Trevilla told reporters.
"The analysis of his behavior permitted (us) to find the building
where he was hiding" and Cabrera was taken into custody without
violence, Trevilla said. Firearms, computer equipment and other
documentation were seized, too, he said.
Cabrera, who appeared Monday in the office of a prosecutor who
specializes in organized crime, was responsible for Guzman's security in
Durango, the state-run Notimex news agency said.
He is charged with possessing firearms reserved for use by the army
and falsification of a public document, a spokeswoman for the attorney
general said.
Trevilla said Cabrera was involved in kidnappings, extortion and arson.
"The violence caused him to rise within the organization," said
Trevilla, who predicted that the arrest will affect the cartel's
leadership and abilities.
Guzman, who is under indictment by U.S. authorities in Chicago, New
York and Los Angeles, is described by the U.S. Drug Enforcement
Administration as one of "the most powerful drug traffickers in Mexico."
In 2004, the U.S. government announced a $5 million reward for
information leading to his arrest and conviction.
He is accused of running a major network that distributes cocaine and heroin.
He is worth about $1 billion, according to Forbes Magazine, which
began listing him on its billionaires list in 2009. The magazine lists
him as No. 55 on its Most Powerful People list and as the only crime
lord on its list of Mexico's billionaires.
