Mexico D.F. - On Wednesday, Mexico's Public Security Secretary (SSP) announced the capture of Carlos Montemayor González, 38,  or Alejandro García Treviño, aka, "El Charro" the father in-law of Edgar Valdéz Villareal, aka, "La Barbie." González was wanted in Mexico for murder, drug trafficking, smuggling and distribution against the public health. He took over the Barbie criminal organization and drug cartel after Villareal was taken into custody on August 30.
González originally from Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas using the name Treviño was able to pass himself as a businessman and promoter of events for Charros en Huixquilucan in the state of Mexico.
Intelligence provide to SSP by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) led to González arrest. González is wanted in the U.S. for cocaine trafficking and an extradition request has been sent to the Mexican government.
González confessed to transporting more than a ton of cocaine into the U.S. between 2003 and 2005 with the help of the Beltran Leyva Cartel. He met La Barbie at the same time and La Barbie had married one of González daughters five years ago. Before La Barbie was captured, he told González to take over the organization to secure La Barbie's wife financial future and to collect drug shipment debts owed to him.
González told authorities, that the Cartel Independiente de Acapulco (C.I.D.A.) was responsible for the homicides of the 20 Acapulco tourists from Michoacan, after they were kidnapped on September 30. He said, C.I.D.A. had killed the tourists and they had accused him of ordering the killing, to try and eliminate him from the leadership of the Barbie's organization. González denied any involvement in the murders. In González confession, he identified that Moisés Montero, aka, "El Koreano," Carlos Antonio Barragán Hernández, aka, "El Melón," Benjamín Flores Reyes or Celestino Flores Reyes, aka, "El Padrino," Hever Jair Sosa Carvajal, aka, "El Cremas" and Cristian Hernández, aka, "Cris," the son of Arturo Hernández González, aka, "El Chaky," arrested in 2003, all members of  C.I.D.A. were responsible for the murder of the Michoacan tourists.
C.I.D.A. was affiliated with La Barbie's organization and González had told C.I.D.A. to stay calm, but they broke away after La Barbie was detained. C.I.D.A. believed the 20 men were members of La Familia Michoacana trying to muscle in and take control of their territory in Acapulco. The tourists were innocent and were confused as rival cartel members.
After they were murdered, then they were buried at Tuncingo Cemetery near Acapulco by members of C.I.D.A. who were in control of the Acapulco drug trafficking and sales, according to Eduardo Ramón Pequeño García, Director of the Anti-drug Federal Police Agency.  
One of the members of C.I.D.A. who was interviewed in video confessed to the murders and said that González had given the order to kill the tourists. The two suspect in the video were later found dead by the Mexican military with a note on top of their bodies near the cemetery site where the missing tourists had been buried.
Also arrested along with González were, David Garza González, 34, aka, "El Hierbas," of Nuevo Laredo Tamaulipas and Alex González Martínez, 45, aka, "El Mongo" of Monterrey, Nuevo León.
