About Santa Rosa
The Santa Rosa de Lima Cartel or CSRL is a Mexican criminal organization from the state of Guanajuato. Founded in 2014, it was initially headed by "The Sledgehammer". They mainly earn their income from oil theft. In June 2020, it was reported that state government raids and turf wars with the Jalisco New Generation Cartel resulted in the Santa Rosa de Lima losing much of their territories in Guanajuato, Querétaro and Hidalgo, as well as most of their "soldiers." However, cartel members still maintain a presence in certain towns and municipalities of Guanajuato, such as Celaya, Irapuato, Salamanca, Salvatierra, Santa Rosa de Lima, Juventino Rosas, Apaseo el Alto, Apaseo el Grande, San Miguel Octopan, and Cortazar. The cartel's leader, Ortiz was captured by state and federal authorities on 2 August 2020 along with 5 other people.
