Flyers, allegedly from the “La Familia Michoacana” have surfaced in Mexico City’s boroughs of Iztapalapa, Tláhuac, and Milpa Alta, demanding local businesses pay 3,000 pesos to ensure their safety. Distributed by the group as part of a coercion strategy, these notices assure business owners and patrons of no harm if they comply with the financial demands. Journalist Antonio Nieto revealed the flyers, which claim to support “the movement” and promise no further disturbances upon payment, portraying themselves as trustable representatives from Michoacán.

The flyers, signed “Piloncillo and Cascabel”, also instruct recipients to send payment details via email to lafamiliam2000@hotmail.com for cardless ATM withdrawals, indicating a sophisticated extortion scheme.

My Verbatim Highlights of The Detailed Instruction to PAYUP or Your Fucked√

• You only have to pay this once on time. I call bullshit on just once.
• We give you our word as peole from Michocan. Narco scum promising is reassuring. 
• If you don’t comply you will have to pay monthly. Basically your fucked!
• Send 3,000 pesos by Tuesday April 30. If not you fall under the “monthly extortion program”.

The flyers distributed by purported members of the “La Familia Michoacana ” in Mexico City’s boroughs of Iztapalapa, Tláhuac, and Milpa Alta have escalated their extortion efforts by demanding that local businesses print a provided number and display it prominently to indicate cooperation and prevent further harassment. Businesses are warned through these notices that they must pay 3,000 pesos by the upcoming Tuesday, April 30th, or face unpleasant consequences. This one-time payment is framed as a guarantee against future disturbances, with the group claiming to have “eyes everywhere” and stressing the severity of non-compliance. Business owners are also instructed to include their business name and address in their email communications to be removed from the target list. The presence of the “La Familia Michoacana ” in the capital has been acknowledged by authorities following the arrest of key figures linked to this group and the Sinaloa Cartel, highlighting their involvement in a range of criminal activities, including drug trafficking, extortion, and violent offenses, across several municipalities.

During a press conference attended by the head of the Secretariat of Citizen Security (SSC) and Ulises Lara López, the current head of the General Attorney’s Office of Mexico City, authorities emphasized the entrenched presence of criminal organizations such as the Michoacana Family and the Sinaloa Cartel in Mexico City. This presence, previously the subject of speculation and analysis, including leaked documents by the Guacamaya group from the National Defense Secretariat (Sedena), has evolved through various phases over time. The conference also highlighted that Ricardo “N” commands a group involved in hitman services, drug, and weapon distribution and plays a critical role in forming alliances with other local groups. This acknowledgment underlines the region’s complex and active criminal landscape, challenging the authorities’ ongoing efforts to maintain security and order.
