Chapo associate, or rival, er, decomissioned?
The headlines this morning talk about the capture of José Vázquez Villagrana, alias El Jabalí (“the javelina”, which I’ve always thought of as kinda cute but dumb critters… though I suppose it could also mean “the boar”).
Vázquez is a close associate of the late Arturo Beltrán Leyva, and a compadre of his brother, Alfredo. Which sounds like he was more a potential or actual rival to Chapo and his not-so-merry crew than, as the police are crowing, a high-ranking executive in Chapo, Inc.
