Reporting on the Mexican Cartel Drug War  Statements of El
Chapito, reality of a trafficker  Monday, May 7, 2012 |   The
Reality of a Trafficker  Leal Octavio Hernandez,  known to be an
upper level lieutenant of Fernando Sanchez Arellano, was
arrested on April 28 in Tijuana.  Statements made by him, after
his arrest, and the accompanying Zeta Tijuana story offer
conflicting insight into the man, also known as 'killer'. 
Octavio Hernandez also gave authorities information concerning
Alfredo Azarte, 'El Aquiles', and his brother, Rene Artega, 'La
Rana', known to be the representatives of the Sinaloa Cartel in
Tijuana, as well as information about the father of Juan Sillas
Rocha, 'Don Juan', who Hernandez alleges is leading the cell,
previously belonging to his son.  This is contrary to reports
claiming Hernandez had been moved up to fill this role.
According to 'El Chapito', he has never been involved in
kidnappings or murders, and despite what the Zeta claims, is not
from Puebla, but is a native of Tijuana.
