The five men were captured during a military helicopter operation in La Guamuchilera, where an arsenal was seized.

Five men, including an alleged leader of a criminal cell in the employ of “Los Chapitos,” were sentenced to more than 10 years in prison after being captured in a massive military operation in Mocorito.

The Attorney General’s Office (FGR), through the Specialized Prosecutor’s Office for Organized Crime (FEMDO), reported that those sentenced are Esaú “Q,” Luis “B,” Juan “Z,” Jimmy “B,” and Librado “I.”

The detainees received sentences of ten years, five months, and 29 days in prison for the crimes of carrying a firearm with aggravating circumstances and possession of magazines and cartridges for the exclusive use of the Armed Forces.

The arrest in Mocorito

According to the investigation file, the five “generators of violence” were arrested near the town of La Guamuchilera, Mocorito, during a military deployment involving helicopter gunships and special forces from the Ministry of National Defense (Sedena).

During the operation, Luis Alberto, alias “El Cañas,” was captured. He was identified as the alleged leader of a “Los Chapitos” criminal cell and considered the right-hand man of Humberto Figueroa, alias “La Perris” or “El 27,” a Sinaloa cartel affiliate.

That day, federal forces seized a significant arsenal, including five high-powered firearms, 11 fully loaded magazines, 1,412 live rounds of ammunition, two hand grenades, tactical vests, and two vehicles.

Everything was made available to the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office, which gathered sufficient evidence to secure a conviction against the suspects considered “generators of violence” in the central and northern regions of the state, linked to crimes that occurred in Culiacán and communities of Mocorito.

The District Judge determined that the convicted individuals must serve their sentences in the Aguaruto Penitentiary in Culiacán.
