About Javier Torres Félix

  • Javier Torres Félix (born 19 October 1960) is an imprisoned Mexican drug lord and former high-ranking leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, a drug trafficking organization.
  • He is the brother of the deceased drug lord Manuel Torres Félix and the former right-hand man of Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, a top cartel leader. Born in the state of Sinaloa, Torres Félix entered the drug trade in 1990 under the tutelage of the late Juan Manuel Salcido Uzeta (alias "El Cochiloco"), a Sinaloa Cartel drug trafficker.
  • When his boss was killed, he began to work for Zambada in 1992 and became one of his most trusted associates.
  • In 2001, gunmen of the Tijuana Cartel attempted to kill Torres Félix but they were ultimately unsuccessful.
  • When they failed to find his whereabouts, the gunmen responded by killing 12 villagers at a ranch known as El Cajoncito in his hometown. He was arrested by the Mexican Army Special Forces in Culiacán in January 2004.
  • He was later extradited to the United States in late 2006, facing charges on drug trafficking.
  • Having completed his sentence, Torres Félix was released and deported back to Mexico.
  • As he crossed the international border, the Mexican authorities arrested him in April 2013 for pending charges on organized crime, homicide, and illegal use of firearms.
