In the latest development, following the Tucson, Arizona, capture of Gerardo Mérida, a retired Mexican army general who served as public-security secretary in northwestern Sinaloa state, today Sinaloa Senator Enrique Inzunza Cazárez, who is also facing drug trafficking and weapon charges, was taken into custody in San Diego by the DEA.

Both Merida and Cazarez were named in the lengthy indictment that included current Sinaloa Governor Rocha Moya, who, if ground reports are accurate, appears to be hiding while protected by the Mexican national guard.

Here’s where it gets really interesting. According to the New York Post reporting, businessman Enrique Diaz Vega – another name from the indictment – also turned himself into U.S. authorities in Arizona last Friday. That means four of the ten men named are currently in custody, with Governor Rocha Moya hiding out in Mexico.

Sinaloa Governor Rocha Moya stepped down but his whereabouts are unknown.

With three of the officials now in custody and reports of cooperation very visible in the headlines, is it only a matter of time before Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is forced to extradite Rocha Moya?… Or will the Sinaloa cartel just eliminate the threat Moya represents.

Perhaps the answer within that outcome determines who is in charge of Mexico, President Sheinbaum (Morena party) or the Cartels (Morena party).
