Mexico - This week, a Mexican federal judge issued arrest warrants for Hugo Dante Grajales Cantú, José Carlos Salinas Rodríguez and Rolando Ávila Muñoz members of two Mexican musical bands Los Cadetes de Linares and Torrente Musical, who allegedly were present or participated in a Holiday Mexican Party at Los Limoneros de Ahuatepec, in Morelos, on December 11, 2009. The party was sponsored by the Beltrán Leyva Drug Cartel, who SIEDO accused of being a criminal organization and associated with the late Arturo Beltrán Leyva, "Boss of Bosses," who was present at the party, and Édgar Valdez Villarreal, "La Barbie," and Sergio Villarreal, "El Grande."
Beltrán Leyva and 6 of his men were killed six days later in a luxury condo complex in Cuernavaca just South of Mexico City when 200 Mexican Navy Marines raided the building. The raid had been planned for two months and when the federal government confirmed Beltrán Leyva was present they executed the raid. One marine was wounded and another one was reported killed.
