Overview
- Mexican federal forces executed a court-approved search in Culiacán on December 31, detaining Pedro Inzunza Noriega along with three others.
- Inzunza, known as “El Sagitario” or “El Señor de la Silla,” is identified by authorities as the No. 2 in the network led by Fausto Isidro Meza Flores, “El Chapo Isidro.”
- Semar and the SSPC led the operation with the FGR, AIC and FEMDO; firearms and quantities of drugs were seized at the property identified through the investigation.
- Officials said the detainees are being transferred to Mexico City to be placed at FEMDO’s disposal as the federal case proceeds.
- The U.S. Justice Department charged Inzunza and his son in May 2025 with narcoterrorism, drug trafficking and money laundering tied to a large-scale fentanyl network; local media also reported a related seizure of hazardous precursors, including 600 kg of sodium cyanide.
