Sinaloa Cartel’s Security Chief N\u00e9stor Isidro P\u00e9rez Salas, alias “El Nini<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Mexican authorities on Wednesday arrested Sinaloa Cartel’s Security Chief N\u00e9stor Isidro P\u00e9rez Salas, alias “El Nini,” officials announced Thursday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Perez Salas is the alleged security chief for a faction of the Sinaloa Cartel known as “Los Chapitos,” led by the sons of Joaqu\u00edn “El Chapo” Guzm\u00e1n.<\/span><\/p>\n

Perez Salas is considered one of the most ruthless Mexican drug figures and was wanted by both the United States and Mexico, according to published reports.<\/span><\/p>\n

Perez Salas was arrested on Wednesday in Culiac\u00e1n, Sinaloa, Mexico, during a joint operation by the Mexican National Guard and the military. He was being held in custody in Mexico City while awaiting extradition to the United States to face charges of drug trafficking, conspiracy to import and distribute fentanyl, and witness retaliation.<\/span><\/p>\n

After Mexican authorities arrested \u201cEl Nini,” Attorney General Merrick B. Garland released the following statement:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"\u201cMexico arrested N\u00e9stor Isidro P\u00e9rez Salas, known as \u2018El Nini,\u2019 one of the Sinaloa Cartel’s top sicarios, or assassins, yesterday. We say that El Nini and his Chapitos security men killed, tortured, and abducted competitors, witnesses, and others until his arrest.<\/span><\/p>\n

After El Nini’s arrest, I called Mexican Attorney General Gertz to praise him for the Mexican authorities’ bravery, which we all appreciate.<\/span><\/p>\n

We want El Nini promptly extradited from Mexico to the US for justice.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

El Nini’s arrest was seen as a major blow to the Sinaloa Cartel and was welcomed by US officials.\u00a0 However, according to published reports, whether his capture will impact the cartel’s operations long-term is unclear.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is a brief timeline of El Nini’s criminal career:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • 2017:<\/strong>\u00a0El Nini is first identified by US authorities as a key figure in the Sinaloa Cartel.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 2019:<\/strong>\u00a0The US Department of State offers a $3 million reward for information leading to El Nini’s arrest.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 2023:<\/strong>\u00a0El Nini is arrested in Culiac\u00e1n, Sinaloa, Mexico.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    El Nini’s arrest is a reminder of the ongoing struggle against drug trafficking in Mexico and the United States. While his capture is a positive step, it is important to remain vigilant and to continue to work towards dismantling criminal organizations like the Sinaloa Cartel.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
