A new armed criminal cell with traces of the Mexican drug trafficking organization, the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, has risen in Ecuador. This particular cell dubbed the Los Tiguerones New Generation initially surfaced towards the end of 2019. Their current leader is Álex Salazar Vilamar.

According to the Ecuadorian National Police the Los Tiguerones are an organization, dedicated to national and international drug trafficking. Currently they are an ally of Los Choneros, a gang with ties to Mexico’s Sinaloa drug cartel, and Los Lobos, who are linked with Mexico’s Jalisco New Generation Cartel.

Sicario #1: Good evening, Ecuadorian citizens. We, the Los Tiguerones New Generation, address you with a cordial greeting. We’re here to clarify various types of actions used against our organization. Especially in the province of Esmeraldas. In which a number of violent activities have been developing.

Which are actions that have had repercussions against our organization. Such as robbery, intimidation, kidnapping, extortion, and the countless deaths of innocent civilians. We flatly reject all the outrage and abuse of the Esmeralda citizens caused by these supposed gangs. That are controlled by individuals who call themselves Gangster, Águila, Patones, followed by intrusions from mediocre persons.
