Abaten en Michoacán a “El R5”, líder del Cártel de Los Reyes | REPORTAJE

Enrique Barragán, alias R-5, leader of the Los Reyes Cartel in Michoacán, was killed by federal forces in an early morning operation. Governor Alfredo Ramírez Bedoya confirmed the death of one of the main instigators of violence in the Los Reyes, Periván, and Tocumbo region. R-5 was wanted by the United States, which offered up to $3 million for his capture. The U.S. Homeland Security Investigations identified him as the head of hitmen for Carteles Unidos, an organization designated as a foreign terrorist group. His story reveals how the self-defense groups of Michoacán transformed into criminal organizations: both R-5 and La Quiringua emerged from addiction treatment centers that ended up being used to recruit young people. The cartel is accused of extorting avocado producers and packers, one of the state's most important industries.
