At private parties organized by criminal leaders in Mexico, there are usually tight security measures, a large amount of alcohol and famous artists entertaining the event.
The exponents of the regional Mexican genre are among the most requested in these celebrations, and although some refuse to attend this type of party, others do so due to the million-dollar offers of money, the pressure exerted on them, or, due to total ignorance.
One of them is corrido singer Luis R. Conríquez , who, according to intelligence reports from the Ministry of National Defense, He is one of the favorite artists of Ricardo Ruiz Velasco, alias “El Doble R”, none other than the head of the Elite Group of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG).
Even the interpreter born in Caborca, Sonora, composed a song titled “The feats of the Double R” , in which he sings about the criminal life of the aforementioned drug trafficker.
To the being aware of this, the military authorities followed up on the artist on time , and that is how they located a CJNG ranch located in the mountainous area of the state of Jalisco.
According to an army report to the that the newspaper Milenio had access, on 20 of June 2022, Luis R. Conríquez entertained a party of “ Double R” in that property .
That day they went up to the northern highlands of Jalisco at least 11 Toyota and Tacoma vehicles with if members of the Elite Group of the CJNG. Subsequently, and thanks to videos that were leaked on social networks, the ranch in Ixtlahuacán del Río could be identified , a region that borders the state of Zacatecas.
It should be noted that this is not the first time that a singer is linked to the organization led by Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, alias “El Mencho” . Last June, the Mexican producer Ángel del Villar was arrested in United States by the FBI, accused of doing business with an event producer in Mexico linked to the CJNG, called Gallística Diamante.
A series of concerts by Gerardo Ortiz, who by the way was also warned that he was collaborating with a company identified as having ties to the drug trafficker and who has collaborated with Luis Conríquez, was the one who detonated the accusation that is currently still in force against del Villar, CEO of the firm Del Records.
