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.

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.
