Mexican Army captures Roberto Beltran Burgos aka "El Doctor"

On May 29, 2009 the Mexican army captured Roberto Beltran Burgos aka "El Doctor" in Culiacan, Sinaloa. Beltran was the deputy of Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman (One of the leaders of the Pacific Cartel along with Ismael Zambada Garcia) and carried out all of his orders.

Beltran was incharge of the operations in Culiacan, Sinaloa and carried out the same responsabilities that before him Alfredo Beltran aka "El Mochomo" and Vicente Zambada Niebla aka "El Vicentillo" carried out. He also counted on web of information from different areas of the country to infiltrate and provide information on the Federal Governments plans against "El Chapo" Guzman. He also coordinated a group of attorneys to support any members of the cartel when they were arrested. The importance of the arrest of Roberto Beltran Burgos aka "El Doctor" is that it was a major blow to the security and operations of the criminal organization of "El Chapo" Guzman.
