These 27 criminals, responsible for generating violence, would bring peace to the state, according to Baja California authorities.
They are the intellectual and material authors of drug trafficking, street-level drug dealing, and homicides, which have kept Baja California second in the nation in total violent deaths and fourth in executions per 100,000 inhabitants.
These criminal cells, as part of their territorial control, have expanded their range of crimes by extorting entire productive sectors, such as the fishing industry, and smaller sectors, such as junkyard owners, grocery stores, and street markets. These groups, benefiting from impunity, are financing themselves through extortion, kidnapping, abduction, assault, and property seizures—all crimes that keep Baja California among the most dangerous states in Mexico.
These are criminals ranked first, second, and third in the organizational charts of the Los Mayos, Chapos, Jalisco, and Arellano cartels. All are involved in homicides, but only five have arrest warrants issued against them.
In fact, seven of them have already been imprisoned but were released due to “lack of evidence.” And only four of these targets had not previously appeared on a Baja California “most wanted” list.
The oldest of these criminals has been on the radar of law enforcement agencies on both sides of the Mexico-United States border for over three decades, yet he has no arrest warrant.
