The Zetas' outsized arsenals grenades and automatic weapons became standard sparked something of an arms race across Mexican criminal groups, which multiplied the group's destructive impact far beyond its specific area of operation. Their network is international, and is believed to have dealings with crime groups in Europe, West Africa, Asia, Central America, South America, and the United States. En la vida real, el brazo armado del Crtel del Golfo son Los Zetas. [21] Around 1994, it was estimated that the Gulf Cartel handled as much as "one-third of all cocaine shipments" into the United States from the Cali Cartel suppliers. [310] La Jornada mentioned that before the rupture with Los Zetas in 2007, the corridor of Reynosa, Tamaulipas was often used for human smuggling. Felipe Cabrera Sarabia, conocido como el "Inge", fue durante mucho tiempo un lugarteniente de Ismael el "Mayo" Zambada y Joaqun el "Chapo" Guzmn. [325] The Gulf Cartel also bribes journalists to persuade them not to mention any violent incidents in the media. The intense shootings provoked the temporary closure of three international bridges in Matamoros,[139] along with the University of Texas at Brownsville, just across the border. [206] Confrontations between these two groups have paralyzed entire cities in broad daylight. While in prison, Crdenas and Arellano formed an alliance to defend themselves from the Sinaloa and Juarez Cartels,[267] who had also allied with each other, and were planning to take over the smuggling routes and territories of the Gulf and Tijuana Cartel. The 2017 National Drug Threat Assessment lists leaders of the following Mexican cartels: Los Zetas, the Sinaloa Cartel, the Gulf Cartel, the Juarez Cartel, the Beltran Leyva-Organization. Unbelievable! En California, son los apenas 200 miembros de la "Eme" quienes ordenan los asesinatos, secuestros, contrabando de narcticos, robo y otros delitos, a nombre de los crteles mexicanos de la. [48], Humberto Garca brego, brother of Juan Garca brego, tried to take the lead of the Gulf Cartel, but ultimately failed in his attempt. [220] After the PRI lost the presidency in 2000 to the National Action Party (PAN), the arrangement between the government and the cartels was lost, as well the pax mafiosa. [306] FBI investigators said that victims are "kidnapped, threatened, assaulted, drugged and transported into Mexico to meet with Cartel members. [144] And even after the drug lord was killed, the roadblocks continued throughout the rest of the day. [180] When the Gulf cartel and Los Zetas split in early 2010, some members of the Rojos stayed with the Gulf cartel, while others decided to leave and join the forces of Los Zetas. [258], On 9 May 2011, the Mexican government, along with Sedena, disarmed all police forces in the state of Tamaulipas, beginning with the cities of Matamoros and Reynosa. [137] Milenio Television mentioned that the Mexican authorities had tried to apprehend Crdenas Guilln twice before this incident, but that his personal gunmen had distracted the Mexican forces and allowed him to be escorted in his armored vehicle. [33], Further theories put forward to allege the arrest of Garca brego was to satisfy U.S. demands and meet certification, from the Department of Justice (DOJ), as a trade partner, the vote set to take place on 1 March. [211], On 10 November 2014, a document from the Mexican government was released to the media and claimed that Los Rojos faction of the Gulf Cartel was planning to ally with Los Zetas. Kidnappings [16] The act prohibited U.S. citizens and companies from doing any kind of business activity with him, and virtually froze all his assets in the U.S.[17]. [313] Human trafficking in the Rio Grande Valley has become "ground zero" and was considered the "new Arizona" in December 2011 by the Homeland Security Today. "[23], Garca brego's ties extended beyond the Mexican government corruption and into the United States. "[234], On 5 June 2016, citizens from Tamaulipas elected a governor from the opposition party, Fransico Javier Garcia Cabeza de Vaca member of Accion Nacional (National Action). [165][166] United States President, Barack Obama, called the President of Mexico, Felipe Caldern, congratulating him and the Mexican forces for the operation in Matamoros, and reiterated his effort against organized crime. [110], Nearly $30million of the former drug lord's assets were distributed among several Texan law enforcement agencies. He served as head of cartel's operations in Oaxaca. [93][94] Reports from the PGR and El Universal state that while in prison, Crdenas and Benjamn Arellano Flix, from the Tijuana Cartel, formed an alliance. [237], Both candidates have and continue to face accusations of receiving illicit money from the Gulf Cartel while being mayors of two border towns. Milenio Cartel (defunct) The Gulf Cartel (Spanish: Crtel del Golfo, Golfos, or CDG) [7] [8] is a criminal syndicate and drug trafficking organization in Mexico, [9] and perhaps one of the oldest organized crime groups in the country. A l'heure actuelle, le cartel est divis par des luttes internes incessantes, ce qui a intensifi la violence dans des villes comme Matamoros, Tampico et Reynosa. For the most part, the arms trafficking circles of the Gulf Cartel operate directly across the border in the United States, just like most of the criminal groups in Mexico. [289], Protection racketeering Critics say that the strategy of capturing drug kingpins often resulted in the increase in extortion, as the cartels look for other sources of money.

The agents tried to reason with him that killing U.S. federal agents would bring a massive manhunt from the U.S. government. According to El Universal, there are several music videos on YouTube that exalt the power of this armed group through narcocorridos. Los Zetas'n kkenleri, Meksika Ordusu komandolarnn saflarn terk edip Krfez Karteli'nin icra kolu olarak almaya . [178] When the Rojos turned on the Metros, the largest faction in the Gulf cartel, firefights broke throughout Tamaulipas and drug loads were stolen among each other, but the Metros managed to retain control of the major cities that stretched from Matamoros to Miguel Alemn, Tamaulipas. For example, the drug producers and suppliers,[284] although not considered in the basic structure, are critical operators of any drug cartel, along with the financers and money launderers. Some experts believed that the death of Antonio Crdenas would be dreadful for the Gulf Cartel, and that Los Zetas would overthrow them and eventually take control of Tamaulipas. [352] Due to its multifaceted transportation networks and proximity to major production areas right across the border in Mexico, Texas is a major hub for drug trafficking. "[232] Months later, Hernndez Flores finally recognized that several parts of Tamaulipas were "being overrun by organized crime violence. [108] The proceedings took place in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas in the border city of Brownsville, Texas. Das Golf-Kartell, Cartel del Golfo oder auch CDG ist eine kriminelle Vereinigung in Mexiko. [71], One of the first missions of Los Zetas was to eradicate Los Chachos, a group of drug traffickers under the orders of the Milenio Cartel, who disputed the drug corridors of Tamaulipas with the Gulf Cartel in 2003. [1] Het kartel heeft zijn hoofdbasis in de grensstad Matamoros. Het Golfkartel bestaat sinds 1930, toen Juan Nepomuceno Guerra ( 18 juli 1915 - 12 juli 2001) alcohol begon te smokkelen tijdens de drooglegging. [329] One leader of the Gulf Cartel confessed after his apprehension that "drug trafficking is their main business, but due to the difficulties they have been encountering, oil theft has been an important financial cushion" for the cartel.

[11][15], On 24 March 2010, the United States Department of the Treasury sanctioned Cano Flores under the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act (sometimes referred to simply as the "Kingpin Act"), for his involvement in drug trafficking along with fifty-three other international criminals and ten foreign entities. [9], Cano Flores was arrested by the Mexican federal police on 10 June 2009 while in possession of a firearm, a magazine device, and 30 rounds of ammunition. [356] Apart from using these common ways, once the product is across the border, common cars and trucks are used for faster distribution in different cities. [268] After a dispute, however, Crdenas ordered Arellano beaten, and the Gulf-Tijuana alliance ceased to exist at that point. Los Zetas o Crtel de Los Zetas fue un crtel y organizacin terrorista mexicana, considerado como el crtel ms poderoso y sanguinario de Mxico, cuyas actividades delictivas iban desde el narcotrfico, terrorismo, transporte de drogas, extorsin, secuestro, homicidios, trfico de personas, hurto de combustible, robo a bancos, camiones de valores, lavado de dinero hasta delitos informticos. On 18 August 2013, Gulf Cartel leader Mario Ramirez Trevino was captured. [213], The drug violence and political corruption that has plagued Tamaulipas, the home state of the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas, has fueled thoughts of Tamaulipas becoming a "failed state" and a haven for drug traffickers and criminals of all kinds. Heriberto Lazcano Lazcano (25 December 1974 - 7 October 2012), commonly referred to by his aliases Z-3 and El Lazca, was a Mexican drug lord and the leader of Los Zetas drug cartel.He was one of the most-wanted Mexican drug lords.. Lazcano joined the Mexican Army at the age of 17 and later ascended to the Grupo Aeromvil de Fuerzas Especiales (GAFE), the Mexican Army special forces. [118] Other reports mention, however, that the rupture occurred due to a disagreement about who would take on the leadership of the cartel after the extradition of Osiel. [32], Garca brego's arrest was even subject to allegations of corruption. [328] They were reported to have stolen around 40% of the oil products in 2011 in northern Mexico and then selling it illegally in Mexico and in the American black market. It is clear, however, that after the capture and extradition of Osiel Crdenas Guilln, Los Zetas outclassed the Gulf Cartel in revenue, membership, and influence. [275] Mario Crdenas Guilln, brother of both Osiel and Antonio, became one of the top lieutenants in the organization after his release from prison in 2007. [9] Cano Flores also has two aliases: Yeyo and Yankee. [181], InSight Crime explains that the fundamental disagreement between the Rojos and the Metros was over leadership. Organized crime groups opt for protection racketeering in an effort to control markets and "maintaining internal order. He is also a former member of the Federal Judicial Police in Tamaulipas. Those who were more loyal to the Crdenas family stayed with the Rojos, while those loyal to Jorge Eduardo Costilla Snchez, like Flores Borrego, defended the Metros. [219] Back in the days of the 71-year rule of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), it was believed that they ran exactly that show: if the drug cartels got off the line, the Mexican government would conduct some arrests, make some disappearances, and the drug lords would get their people straight and back on the line again. 3:04. [350] Among these gangs, that range from street gangs to prison gangs, are the Texas Syndicate, the Latin Kings, the Mexican Mafia, Puro Tango Blast (Vallucos), the Hermandad de Pistoleros Latinos, and the Tri-City Bombersall based in the Rio Grande Valley and Webb County, Texas. [291] This practice of extorting money from people is also seen in the human trafficking business in Mexico; the cartels threaten smugglers to pay a fee for using the corridors, and if they refuse to pay, drug traffickers respond in a deadly form. [38] According to The Brownsville Herald, Garca brego went into the courtroom grinning and talking animatedly with his lawyers who helped him translate his words from Spanish into the English language. [351], While the entire MexicoUnited States border has experienced high levels of drug trafficking and other illegal smuggling activities for decades, this activity tends to be concentrated in certain sectors within Texas. In August 2007, La Maa gang, an alleged sub-group of the criminal group Los Zetas and the Gulf Cartel, was reported to have controlled the extortion business in Matamoros, Tamaulipas. [296] The Mexican military mentioned that in the states of Tamaulipas and Nuevo Leon, where the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas fight for territory, abductions are carried out very commonly. [135] Other sources mention that one news reporter was also killed in the crossfire. [131][132], Costilla was often viewed as the "strongest leader" of the two, but collaborated with Antonio Crdenas, who acted as representative of his jailed brother. The group was known for its violent tactics and tight organizational structure. [245] Reports first indicated that there were 71 fugitives, but the correct figures were later released. [188] The strong ties the Gulf Cartel has with the prison gangs in the United States have also raised concern to American officials. [331], Money laundering [97] Lieutenants that were once loyal to Crdenas began following the commands of Lazcano, who tried to reorganize the cartel by appointing several lieutenants to control specific territories.Morales Trevio was appointed to look over Nuevo Len;[98] Jorge Eduardo Costilla Snchez in Matamoros;[99] Hctor Manuel Sauceda Gamboa, nicknamed El Karis, took control of Nuevo Laredo;[100] Gregorio Sauceda Gamboa, known as El Goyo, along with his brother Arturo, took control of the Reynosa plaza;[101] Arturo Basurto Pea, alias El Grande, and Ivn Velzquez-Caballero alias El Talibn took control of Quintana Roo and Guerrero;[102] Alberto Snchez Hinojosa, alias Comandante Castillo, took over Tabasco. With their expansion within the Gulf cartel, their disentanglement and Z-40's takeover they probably started to look more like the Vampiros from Zero Zero Zero or like regular Sicarios. [316] The newspaper La Vanguardia mentioned that the Gulf Cartel receives "large sums of money by extorting businesses" all around Tamaulipas. Cano Flores was later sentenced to 35 years in prison and ordered to forfeit US$15 billion on 13 May 2013, making him "highest ranking Gulf Cartel member to be convicted by a U.S. jury in the past 15 years. The Zetas' emergence also offered a hint of the challenge for the Mexican state. [363][364] He was arrested with a female companion identified as Miriam "M" and is accused of being responsible for recent violence in Tamaulipas[365]. In fact, they are paid around $3,618 pesos (about US$260) a month in all of Tamaulipas. [177], In the late 1990s, Osiel Crdenas Guilln, the former leader of the Gulf cartel, had other similar groups besides Los Zetas established in several cities in Tamaulipas. [330] They have also been reported to steal vehicles. [185] Thomas A. Shannon, a U.S. diplomat and ambassador, stated that criminal organizations like the Gulf Cartel have "substantially weakened" the institutions in Mexico and Central America, and have generated a surge of violence in the United States. The latter was released from prison months earlier even though he was scheduled to serve 16-years behind bars in January. [117], Nevertheless, other sources also reveal that Antonio Crdenas Guilln, brother of Osiel and one of the successors of the Gulf Cartel, was addicted to gambling, sex, and drugs, leading Los Zetas to consider his leadership as a threat to the organization. [17], By the 1980s, Garca brego began incorporating cocaine into the drug trafficking operations and started to have the upper hand on what was now considered the Gulf Cartel, the greatest criminal dynasty in the US-Mexico border. In addition to trafficking drugs, Garca brego would ship cash to be laundered, in the millions. "[1][2], Aurelio Cano Flores was born in Tamaulipas, Mexico on 3 May 1972. [115] According to narco-banners left by the Gulf Cartel in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, and Reynosa, Tamaulipas, the reason for their rupture was that Los Zetas had expanded their operations to include extortion, kidnapping, assassinations, theft, and other actions with which it disagreed. [202] Soon, the violence generated between these two groups had spread to Tamaulipas' neighboring states of Nuevo Len and Veracruz. [14] He was the highest drug lord of the Gulf Cartel to be convicted by a U.S. jury in 15 years. "[290] It is generally seen as a way where criminals change the legal face of security and provide their own form of "insurance". [60], In 1997 the Gulf Cartel began to recruit military personnel whom Jess Gutirrez Rebollo, an Army General of that time, had assigned as representatives from the PGR offices in certain states across Mexico. [251] Consequently, the federal government did not hesitate to assign the Mexican Army and the Federal Police to vigilate the prisons until further notice; they were also left in charge of searching for the fugitives. The United States Department of the Treasury had named Cano Flores in 2009 as a close associate of the Zeta bosses Heriberto Lazcano Lazcano and Miguel Trevio Morales, considered by the government as "significant foreign narcotics traffickers. [293] In addition, the Mexican drug cartels also tax several Mexican businesses inside the United States and threaten them with property damage and murder if they do not comply.[294]. [163] Moreover, his death also generated a turf war with Los Zetas in the city of Ciudad Mier, Tamaulipas, resulting in the exodus of more than 95% of its population. "[315], Extortion "[37] He also had an official birth certificate that claimed Garca brego was indeed born in Mexico. [3] Some media outlets also referred to him by another name, Efran Snchez Castillo. His role in Mexican law enforcement and his ties with the Gulf Cartel allowed him to recruit sever [64] They were enticed with salaries much higher than those of the Mexican Army. [345] The products sold can be clothing, TVs, video games, music, computer programs, and movies. Aurelio Cano Flores (born 3 May 1972), commonly referred to by his aliases Yankee and/or Yeyo, is an imprisoned Mexican drug trafficker and former high-ranking leader of the Gulf Cartel, a Mexican drug trafficking organization. Balatazar Hinojosa Ochoa is also accused of coopting with DTOs of the Gulf Cartel while being mayor of Matamoros in 2006. L'Oficina del Xrif del Comtat de Tulare ha .
