Juan José Esparragoza Moreno (born February 3, 1949) a.k.a. El Azul (English: "The Blue"), is a former Mexican Federal Judicial Police (PJF) officer turned drug trafficker. Esparragoza was born in Huichiopa, in the Mexican state of Sinaloa. Esparragoza's nickname, "El Azul", derives from his complexion. He is said to be so dark that his skin appears to be blue.^[4][5]

Guadalajara Cartel[link]

Esparragoza's trafficking career dates back to the Guadalajara Cartel under Ernesto Fonseca Carrillo, Rafael Caro Quintero and Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo. Following the arrest of Gallardo, it is believed Esparragoza moved to the leadership role within the Guadalajara Cartel prior to its dissolution. Gallardo bestowed upon his nephews who operated the Juárez Cartel, the location and operations of the Guadalajara Cartel.^[6][7]

Enrique Camarena[link]

Esparragoza was believed to have had a role in the death of United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agent Enrique Camarena. In 1982, Camarena was informed of a large scale marijuana growing operation in which Carrillo, Esparragoza and Quintero, had turned 220 acres (0.89 km²) of land near San Luis Potosí into a marijuana field. The DEA began to do aerial reconnaissance and eventually committed to raiding the field, seizing 200 tons of marijuana. The DEA however failed to apprehend anyone, rumored to be due to a Judicial Police officer informing the cartel members of the pending operation.^[5]

Camarena, along with his pilot Alfredo Zavala, were kidnapped on February 7, 1985, tortured and murdered by the Guadalajara Cartel for his role in hindering their operations.

Esparragoza was arrested in 1986 by police commander Florentino Ventura,^[8] who flaunted openly that he was the one who put Esparragoza behind bars. Esparragoza served seven years in 'Reclusorio Sur' prison and was released. Soon after, commander Florentino Ventura and other of his captors were all killed.^[8]

Juárez Cartel[link]

Esparragoza is believed to have joined the Juárez Cartel (Carrillo Fuentes Organization) in 1993 where he operated as a top lieutenant and operations chief.^[4][9] Following the death of Amado Carrillo Fuentes during a plastic surgery procedure, Esparragoza was rumored to have assumed a leadership position alongside Vicente Carrillo Fuentes, brother to Amado, and Héctor Luis Palma Salazar. The cocaine and trafficking connection he created in Peru and Colombia are believed to have made him a primary leader in the Juárez Cartel.^[7][10]

In addition to cocaine contacts, Esparragoza is also known as a peace maker, forging alliances between other major cartels and resolving disputes. Most recently he has been linked to negotiating peace deals in Nuevo Laredo between the Juárez Cartel and Heriberto Lazcano of Los Zetas as well as Jorge Eduardo Costilla of the Gulf Cartel.^[10][11]

The Federation / Sinaloa Alliance[link]

Esparragoza has most recently been linked to leading "The Federation", an alliance of the Sinaloa, Juárez and Sonora (Caro-Quintero Organization) cartels.^[11]

Bounty[link]

Esparragoza is currently wanted in the United States DEA where there is a USD$5 million reward for information leading to his capture,^[4] while Mexico is offering a $2 million dollars reward.^[3]
