The Federal Attorney General’s Office seized a 26-million-peso mansion in García linked to José Antonio Cortés Huerta, an alleged fuel smuggling ringleader and criminal leader of the Northeast Cartel.
José Antonio Cortés Huerta—identified as an operative for “El Señor de los Buques” (The Lord of the Ships) and the alleged leader of a cell within the Northeast Cartel—acquired a residence in 2020 valued at $1.3 million (equivalent to approximately 26 million pesos) in the municipality of García, where he presented himself as a merchant and a local resident.
The property was seized by the Attorney General’s Office (FGR) following the arrest of José Antonio Cortés Huerta last weekend during an operation led by personnel from the Navy, the FGR, and the National Guard—an operation in which his wife, Rosario Flores Alemán (with whom he finalized the property purchase), was also arrested.
*Telediario* consulted the details regarding Public Deed No. 16,090—dated November 27, 2020, and pertaining to the sale transaction of the mansion—at the Registry and Cadastral Institute of Nuevo León.
The couple was apprehended inside their residence located at 521 Portal del Huajuco Street, within the neighborhood of the same name; this address also served as the registered business domicile for the company Distribuidora de Aguacates del Norte S.A. de C.V.
Who is José Antonio Cortés Huerta, alias “El Titán”?
José Antonio Cortés Huerta, alias “El Titán,” was born on December 10, 1986, and is listed in official records as a merchant and resident of 129 Camino del Roble Street, located in the First Sector of the Cumbres Elite residential subdivision in García.
However, this operative for Roberto Blanco Cantú—the key fugitive in the largest fuel-theft scheme in the country’s history—acquired a mansion on November 27, 2020. The sale transaction for the property totaled 26 million pesos, with a cadastral value of 10,407,438 pesos and an associated tax payment of 663,000 pesos. The real estate transaction was executed before Raúl Ramos Betancourt, head of Public Notary Office No. 95 of the state’s First District, and the property was purchased from two individuals surnamed Morena García and Marroquín Martínez.
The alleged criminal and his wife acquired the house in a transaction in which they made an initial payment of eight million pesos via cashier’s check No. 0004151 from BBVA Bancomer, and 2.5 million pesos via check No. 0004149, dated November 27, 2020.
In addition, they made five monthly payments of 3 million pesos each—spanning from January 1 to May 1, 2021—followed by a payment of 500,000 pesos on June 1, 2021.
This residence was one of four properties—located in Monterrey, San Pedro Garza García, and Allende—that were raided.
