The criminal group allegedly tied with Mexican boxer Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., arrested in California earlier this month, had set up warehouses to adapt arms smuggled from the U.S.
Local outlet La Jornada detailed that the group was led by Martin Leon Romero, who began activities in 2018 in Sinaloa. The network has ties with Ivan Archivaldo and Ovidio Guzman Lopez, sons of Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman. It specialized in adapting rifles and grenade launchers, which were then distributed among cartel cells, the outlet added.
