Pedro Aviles put a "green light" on him and the entire Municipal Police Force in Ojinaga.
Carrasco, thought if he killed the collector he could wipe the debt by saying he had paid the collector, and that he had no idea where he was or what had happened to him subsequently.Ĭarrasco, while in Doctors surgery being treated for a gunshot wound sustained in a gunfight, managed to get into a major gun battle in the doctors surgery with security forces, and took this opportunity to shoot the debt collector, who had attended the hospital with Carrasco. Carrasco was a cold hearted bastard, and stood and watched his wife's uncle burn to death while drinking beers.Īs far as burials go Arandas was not like the modern day gaudy affairs, his killers simply kicked sand over his body which barely covered it and just sauntered away.Ĭarrasco's sense of self preservation was lacking a certain something, after taking power from Aranda, he murdered someone who had come to collect a debt, and was family of Pedro Aviles. He realised that after establishing USA contacts of his own, that if he locked down the interstate routes, he could move a lot of weight and put his own Boss and relative Aranda out of business.Ĭarrasco's dreams of running things were soon dealt four aces, as he shot and burned to death Domingo Aranda on the shores of the "Big River" close to Ojinaga, Chihuahua. Aranda was a small time trafficker compared to the generations after, that put flesh on the bones of, the brainchild of the corrupt Mexican Government that is the Plaza system, the modern day Drug Capo took "ownership" of the Ojinaga Plaza.Ĭarrasco had his sights set on bigger things than Domingo Aranda. His wife's uncle was Domingo Aranda, an independent drug trafficker who sold to the Chicago Mafia. The one time campesino and drug mule, made a few extra bucks delivering small quantities of heroin for his wife's uncle. The first " Plaza Boss" of Ojinaga was Manuel Carrasco "La Vibora", this was before the term had been used for the first time. Through a protection scheme with Mexican federal and state police agencies and with the Mexican army, Acosta was able to ensure the security for five tons of cocaine being flown by turboprop aircraft every month from Colombia to Ojinaga - sometimes landing at the municipal airport, sometimes at dirt airstrips on ranches upriver from Ojinaga.Ĭhains of luxurious restaurants and hotels laundered his drug money.The current plaza system utilized by the major cartels in Mexico today, developed from and owe their roots to the Ojinaga Plaza. He made his operation base in the once little dusty border town of Ojinaga, Chihuahua, Mexico, and had his greatest power in the period around 1984–1986. He was the mentor and business partner of Amado Carrillo Fuentes, the "Lord of the Skies", who took over after Acosta's death.
At the height of his power, he was smuggling 60 tons of cocaine per year for the Colombians-in addition to the incalculable amounts of marijuana and heroin that were the mainstay of his business. Pablo Acosta Villarreal, commonly referred to as El Zorro de Ojinaga was a Mexican narcotics smuggler who controlled crime along a two-hundred mile stretch of U.S.-Mexico border.
