Santa Rosa de Lima Cartel

Common card · No. 358530

The Santa Rosa de Lima Cartel (Spanish: Cártel de Santa Rosa de Lima) or CSRL is a minor Mexican criminal organization, based in the state of Guanajuato. The cartel focuses and mainly earns income from local oil theft. The cartel was founded some time in 2014, in the regional aftermath of the collapse of the Beltrán-Leyva Organization. The CSRL maintained a low profile until around 2017, when it began a war with the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). By June 2020, reports indicated that repeated raids by state police and its turf war with the CJNG resulted in the CSRL losing much of their territories in the states Guanajuato, Querétaro and Hidalgo, as well as the majority of their members. However, remaining cartel members still maintain a presence in certain towns and municipalities of Guanajuato. Following the arrest of cartel leader José Antonio Yépez Ortiz (“El Marro”) on 2 August 2020, the cartel’s leadership structure and memberships are unknown.
