On April 16, Juan Miguel “N”, alias El Johnny, alleged operator of the Los Rojos criminal group, was captured in the municipality of Tepalcatepec, a division of the Beltrán Leyva cartel.
Johnny is considered a priority target for the United States for the crimes of money laundering, criminal association and against health. Authorities identify him as one of the main operators in the trafficking of drugs from South America; he has a provisional arrest warrant for the purpose of extradition to the United States.
Tepalcatepec (west of Michoacán) is identified as the base of operations for Juan José Álvarez Farías, alias El Abuelo, leader of United Cartels.
