Template:Spanish name Luis Fernando Sánchez Arellano, (b. ca. 1977)[1] a.k.a.: El Ingeniero, is a Mexican drug trafficker leader of the Tijuana Cartel,[4][5][6] a Mexican drug trafficking cartel based in Tijuana, Baja California. He competes with three other major cartels, the Juárez Cartel, the Gulf Cartel, and the Sinaloa Cartel for the illegal drug corridors into the United States.
The Tijuana cartel (or Arellano Félix Organization) has been described as one of the biggest and most violent criminal groups in Mexico.[7] The Tijuana Cartel was initially composed of seven brothers and four sisters, who inherited the organization from Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo upon his incarceration in Mexico in 1989 for his complicity in the murder of DEA Special Agent Enrique Camarena.
Following the death or arrest of the Arellano Félix family members, and especially following the arrest of his uncle Eduardo Arellano Félix on October 25, 2008, Luis Fernando Sánchez took the cartel leadership, probably in partnership with his mother Enedina Arellano Félix.[6][8]
Sánchez Arellano lieutenants
On November 7, 2011 Juan Francisco Sillas Rocha, nicknamed El Sillas and La Rueda, was captured by the Mexican Army in the border city of Tijuana.[9] He was the second-in-command in the Tijuana cartel, and considered by Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional as "one of the most violent" drug traffickers in Mexico, responsible for a number of murders.[10] Sillas Rocha, under the tutelage of Sánchez Arellano, fought Teodoro García Simental (El Teo) for the control of the criminal activities in Tijuana between 2008 and 2010.[10] He is also accused of kidnapping three women who were relatives of Ismael Zambada García (El Mayo), a drug baron of the Sinaloa cartel.[10] Sillas Rocha was believed to be retaliating for the disappearance of her sister in 2010.[9]
Bounty
The Attorney General of Mexico is offering a $30 million peso (USD $2.5 million) bounty for information leading to his arrest.[6]
