Former member of El Chapo’s cult group apprehended at Mexican church during his Baptism

A fugitive member of Joaquín ‘El Chapo’ Guzmán’s cartel
has been arrested by Mexican security.
José Bryan Salgueiro Zepeda was taken into custody at a
church in Culiacán, Sinaloa, last Friday. in the middle of a
baptism Mass.
Salgueiro Zepeda is one of the alleged leaders of the family-
operated criminal faction known as ‘Los Salgueiro’ in the
northern state of Chihuahua.
The shocking video shows the Sinaloa Cartel member, who is also known as ‘El 90’ and ‘El Brayan,’ standing next to two
women and another man, who was identified by the Mexican press as El Chapo’s nephew.
In the video, the priest who was officiating the religious
ceremony asked the group, ‘Do you renounce Satan?’ before one of the women next to Salgueiro Zepeda responded,
‘Yes, I renege.’
As the priest asked them again, ‘Do you renounce all of his
seductions,’ a masked soldier stepped out of nowhere and
grabbed Salgueiro Zepeda by the arm.

The Chihuahua State Office of the Attorney General said that
he acknowledged being a member of the Los Salgueiro
criminal organization and a group’s high-ranking leader in
Chihuahua.
Salgueiro Zepeda was wanted on an outstanding arrest
warrant for his alleged role connected to a May 19, 2020,
kidnapping of an individual in Chihuahua.
A spokesperson with the Chihuahua State Office of the
Attorney General told DailyMail.com that Salgueiro Zepeda
is expected to appear in court Wednesday February 22, for
his arraignment.
The family-run Los Salgueiro organization is also led by
Ruperto Salgueiro-Nevarez, Heriberto Salgueiro-Nevarez and
José Salgueiro-Nevarez, for whom the U.S. Department of
Justice in November 2021 offered three $5 million bounties
for their arrests.
All three are accused of operating in Sinaloa and Chihuahua
and trafficking fentanyl, heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine,
and marijuana to the United States. Their sibling, Noel ‘El
Flaco’ Salgueiro-Nevarez, was extradited to the United
States in December 2019 to face drug trafficking charges.
Mexican authorities claim the family trafficked a monthly
average of 15 tons of marijuana and two tons of cocaine
into the United States
El Flaco founded the Gente Nueva in 2007, which served as
an armed wing for the Sinaloa Cartel, and was
reportedly involved in a deadly conflict from 2008 to 2012
that left 10,000 people dead, including cartel members, in
the border town of Ciudad Juárez.
El Chapo, who co-founded the Sinaloa Cartel and reportedly
made over $12 billion trafficking drugs, is serving a life
sentence at a super maximum-security prison in Florence,
Colorado.
