CJNG Guadalajara boss believed responsible for death of Secretary of Tourism - See more at: http://mexiconewsdaily.com/news/cartel-boss-arrested-during-qr-holiday/#sthash.5KlY2mKg.dpuf
The man believed responsible for the murder of Jalisco’s Secretary of Tourism in 2013 was arrested Monday while holidaying in Quintana Roo.
Daniel Quintero Riestra was apprehended on a boat about five kilometers off the coast, near Isla Mujeres, said National Security Commissioner Renato Sales at a press conference yesterday.
Sales made no mention of Quintero Riestra’s gang connections, but he is believed to be a regional leader of the Jalisco Nueva Generación cartel (CJNG), based in Guadalajara.
One of Mexico’s 122 most-wanted, he has been linked to the assassination in March 2013 of Jesús Alvarez Gallegos, who had been named to head Jalisco’s Secretariat of Tourism just nine days before. He was shot and killed while traveling in his vehicle in Zapopan.
The CJNG leader is wanted in connection with at least four murders in Guadalajara — including that of a Venezuelan model — as well as kidnappings.
Alvarez Gallegos was active in construction and tourism, creating Mayan Resorts, one of the larger tourism and real estate developers in Latin America. His company, Jegal Project and Construction Management, managed more than 30 condominium developments in more than half a dozen Mexican resort destinations.
