Mexico Arrests 'El Limones,' Alleged Financial Operator for Los Cabrera in Durango

Authorities say the raid stemmed from CNI–UIF findings on extortion‑linked illicit finance.

Overview

  • Pre-dawn searches began around 05:00 in Durango’s El Ciprés and Hipódromo areas after a Judge of Control authorized interventions at properties in Durango and Coahuila.
  • SEMAR led a coordinated operation with SEDENA, the SSPC, the FGR, the AIC, the CNI, and the National Guard that resulted in multiple detentions including Edgar “N.”
  • Officers seized long guns, a grenade, and tactical equipment during the raids, which used specialized tools such as drone jammers.
  • Investigators say the suspect managed finances for Los Cabrera and is linked to extortion of merchants and ranchers, with UIF detecting irregular transactions tied to fraud and suspected laundering.
  • Officials described the action as part of the National Strategy against Extortion and credited coordination with the Government of Coahuila as the case advances.
