Mexico Captures 'El Limones,' Alleged Los Cabrera Plaza Boss in Durango

Financial evidence led a judge to authorize raids that targeted extortion networks in the La Laguna region.

Overview

  • Federal and state forces led by SEMAR, SEDENA, SSPC and the FGR arrested Edgar “N” following an intelligence operation supported by the CNI.
  • Authorities say the detainee acted as a plaza chief and managed finances for Los Cabrera, a faction linked in reporting to the Sinaloa cartel.
  • UIF analysis identified unexplained multi‑million‑peso deposits, transfers to suspected front companies and luxury asset purchases used to support the warrants.
  • Court‑authorized actions in properties across Coahuila and Durango led to multiple arrests and the seizure of long guns, a grenade and tactical gear.
  • Officials framed the case as part of the National Strategy against Extortion, while CATEM’s leader publicly denied any organizational tie to the detainee.
