Mexican authorities informed this Sunday that Pedro Inzunza Coronel, alias Pichón, accused of narcoterrorism by the United States, was killed in the state of Sinaloa (northwest). The Secretary of the Navy, Raymundo Pedro Morales Ángeles, announced at a press conference that Pedro 'N' was 'neutralized' during an operation in which two individuals identified as Galeno 'N' and Miguel 'N' were also arrested. Morales mentioned that they are all members of a faction of the criminal group Chapo Isidro, 'which is dedicated mainly to the production of synthetic drugs'. In a joint statement, the Navy, the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC), and the Attorney General's Office (FGR) detailed that the action was the result of two searches in homes associated with Inzunza Coronel, identified as the leader of the criminal group. They explained that as security agents were conducting patrols, they were attacked with gunfire, so they 'repelled the aggression and controlled the situation', resulting in the death of the alleged criminal leader. Additionally, Adelemo Pérez Hernández, alias 'Lemu', a presumed logistical operator, and Miguel Ángel Villalba Castillo, who worked as a hitman, were arrested. They also seized three short-barreled weapons, one grenade, and a bag with a kilo of fentanyl pills. In the searched homes, located in the municipalities of Guasave and Ahome, agents seized two firearms, four vehicles, and two cell phones. Likewise, they located two clandestine laboratories for the production of synthetic drugs, where they also confiscated a rifle, cartridges, a truck, 1.425 kilos of crystal, a kilo of fentanyl, 600 liters of chemical precursors, a reactor, and various containers. Mexican authorities also recalled that in May 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice 'filed a formal charge of narcoterrorism against Pedro Inzunza Noriega, alias Sagitario, former leader of the Beltrán Leyva Cartel, and his son, Pedro Inzunza Coronel, alias Pichón'. They pointed out that this crime carries a life sentence, with a minimum of 20 years in prison, in addition to a fine of 20 million dollars, according to the U.S. authorities' accusation. Another detainee in Spain Finally, the authorities reported the arrest of another presumed drug trafficker in Madrid (Spain). In this case, Alejandro Reynoso Jiménez, a member of an unspecified criminal group, 'traveled to Madrid, Spain, where he was arrested by the National Police of Spain'. They indicated that this criminal faction is dedicated to the accumulation and supply of chemical precursors for the elaboration of synthetic drugs in Mexico, to subsequently be sent to Europe and the United States. They also assured that a search was conducted at a home in Guadalajara (Jalisco, west of Mexico) related to this individual, where they seized barrels, containers with substances and chemical precursors, as well as equipment for the manufacture of fentanyl and ecstasy.
