Criminal Groups Mexico

Criminal Groups Mexico: "The Zetas, once the military wing of the Gulf Cartel, is now among one of the most violent groups in Mexico. The Zetas started out as an enforcer gang for the Gulf Cartel, taking their name from the radio code used for top-level officers in the Mexican army. Not only are they highly organized, but their use of brutality and shock tactics – petrol bombs, beheadings, and roadblocks – has led the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to describe them as perhaps “the most technologically advanced, sophisticated and violent of these paramilitary enforcement groups.”" DISCLAIMER:Text may be subject to copyright.This blog does not claim copyright to any such text.

The Familia Michoacana a is a strange mixture of drug traffickers and former vigilantes

The Familia’s brutal tactics, strong base of operations and pseudo-religious ideology make it a formidable operation and a center of fascination for outsiders. The group draws on its strategic location, access to one of the country's most important ports and a sophisticated modus operandi to give authorities fits in several countries. The Familia also understands and uses a perverse and self-serving ideology to keep recruits coming. The Familia Michoacana a is a strange mixture of drug traffickers and former vigilantes that emerged in the early 2000s with the assistance of the Zetas, the armed wing of the Gulf Cartel that has since split and formed its own organization."

Led by the Beltrán Leyva brothers, this Mexican drug cartel used to work as security detail for the Sinaloa and Juárez Cartel

Led by the Beltrán Leyva brothers, this Mexican drug cartel used to work as security detail for the Sinaloa and Juárez Cartel, until the Beltrán Leyva family seceded in 2008. After a series of arrests and deaths at the hands of rivals and government authorities, the Beltrán Leyva Organization (BLO), once one of Mexico’s bloodiest and most powerful criminal organizations, is facing extinction. It is currently run by Héctor Beltrán Leyva, alias 'El H,' the middle sibling in a family that managed the Sinaloa Cartel’s hitmen networks for years and controlled the state of Sonora and the lucrative port entry in Acapulco. The arrest of Alfredo Beltrán Leyva, alias 'El Mochomo,' in 2008, sparked a battle with the family’s long-time allies, the Sinaloa...

The Gulf Cartel is one of the oldest and most powerful of Mexico’s criminal groups

The Gulf Cartel is one of the oldest and most powerful of Mexico’s criminal groups but has lost territory and influence in recent years to its rivals, including its former enforcer wing, the Zetas. The Gulf Cartel is one of Mexico’s most storied, wealthy and established operations. Working with Colombian suppliers, this group moves drugs north from its stronghold in Tamaulipas, and is known to outsource other activities, especially those related to human trafficking, to local “enforcer” gangs. Its one-time boss, Osiel Cárdenas Guillén, was considered the country’s most powerful underworld leader at one point, and its enforcers, the Zetas, Mexico’s most feared gang."

The Tijuana Cartel is based in one of the most strategically important border towns in Mexico

The Tijuana Cartel is based in one of the most strategically important border towns in Mexico, and continues to export drugs even after being weakened from a brutal internal war during 2009. Due to infighting, arrests and deaths of some of its top members, the Tijuana Cartel is a shell of what it was in the 1990s and early 2000s when it was considered one of the most potent and violent criminal organizations in Mexico. After the arrest or assassination of its founding members, the Arellano Félix clan, the cartel is now headed by Fernando Sánchez Arellano, a nephew of the Arellano Félix brothers who once bloodied Mexico and southern California with their brutish and authoritarian style. With the powerful Sinaloa Cartel moving into Tijuana in...

Guanabee | Los Zetas Execution Video: Narco Member Tortured and Executed By Vigilantes

One of the reasons, children should be monitored while on internet! The video is brutal execution of a man by a Mexican group called “Los Zetas”. The rumors are that the group in some way is connected with the Mexican Army; however I do not believe such claims at all. Any military in the world won’t allow such barbarian act to be filmed and distributed. Moreover watching the video and the environment it is filmed in seems to be work of some drug cartel named Los Zetas. As the video starts a plump man is seen tied to a steel chair with his arms and hands firmly gripped with a white colored rope. Man is wearing short boxers only. Word Z is prominently written across his chest and at forehead. I do not think any military group would do that. As...

Banks Financing Mexico Gangs Admitted in Wells Fargo Deal - warnthepeople.org

Banks Financing Mexico Gangs Admitted in Wells Fargo Deal - warnthepeople.org: "Just before sunset on April 10, 2006, a DC-9 jet landed at the international airport in the port city of Ciudad del Carmen, 500 miles east of Mexico City. As soldiers on the ground approached the plane, the crew tried to shoo them away, saying there was a dangerous oil leak. So the troops grew suspicious and searched the jet. They found 128 black suitcases, packed with 5.7 tons of cocaine, valued at $100 million. The stash was supposed to have been delivered from Caracas to drug traffickers in Toluca, near Mexico City, Mexican prosecutors later found. Law enforcement officials also discovered something else. The smugglers had bought the DC-9 with laundered funds they transferred through two of the biggest banks...
