| 10 years of Terror in Tamaulipas Posted: 20 Feb 2015 01:06 AM PST Translated for Borderland Beat from a Tamaulipas 3.0 article by Otis B Fly-Wheel
Tamaulipas is the northern state most associated with violence, one that you cannot name without the typical comments arising that bring the harsh reality that exists in the state, and although violence is widespread throughout the country, but here were born the Zetas with all their violent fury, here they made their stronghold and with narco corridos have become part of the social culture. This is Reynosa to Nuevo Laredo, because from Reynosa to San Fernando, there is a more ancient history, the longest lived cartel of Mexico, which can be attributed to the birth of the Zetas. Tamaulipas is composed of 43 Municipalities, of which few do not have organised crime activities in its streets.
There have been more than ten years of violence in the state, of failed strategies, and where cells of criminals have multiplied as has been documented at nuevolaredoenvivonoticias.blogspot.mx. along with other blogs like Valor por Tamaulipas ( and Borderland Beat: Otis ). Experts explain that the resurgence in violence in this state, burst forth due to fighting between small groups of criminal organisation, born under the banner of Los Zetas and the Gulf Cartel, but now they have gained autonomy and fight over state territory. Eduardo Buscaglia details that in Tamaulipas there is actually "a fight between factions of criminal networks, many of them franchises of Los Zetas and CDG, fiercely disputing territory, at the same time expanding and acquiring autonomy. An investigator from the University of Colombia adds that "in the delinquents, there is a proper lack of organisation, a country where central authority is widely fragmented and captured by the criminal groups." "The criminal organisations are like a business, they have sections dedicated to logistics, sale of drugs, and kidnapping among other crimes, but at some point these groups expand and start competing with cartels, which can lead to them being employed by the cartels, this leads to fierce struggles between groups and the population is more vulnerable to the violence they employ." The blockades and violence of the last weeks are not a coincidence, they have to do with the need to say, here we are and this is what we do, says Gustavo Lopez Montiel. In relation to this, the Chairman of the Committee for Human Rights of Nuevo Laredo, Raymundo Ramos Vazquez, expressed that the Government strategy "was born dead, because they are repeating the strategy of Felipe Calderon Hinojosa, to face violence with violence, bringing to the streets thousand of military and police personnel without attacking the causes." He stressed that if the current violence does not significantly reduce, there is a risk that the elections of 7th of June will have very little participation, or something more serious may happen, such as in the past elections of Governors, when the PRI candidate of the first judiciary was murdered. Actually the fragmentation of Los Zetas and CDG increments the violence and complicates the criminal state map according the PGJE, there has been an increase of criminal activities, which confirms the thesis of social breakdown for those living in state. This is in large part due to impunity, shortage of work, and a fall in productive sectors. Below is the actual configuration of criminals in Tamaulipas.

| Chapo Guzman sends extravagant floral arrangement to funeral of 'El Barbarino' Posted: 19 Feb 2015 06:58 PM PST Lucio for Borderland Beat posted by Siskiyoukid Spanish original El Debate  After a 48 hour vigil El Barbarino, the famous sicario and compadre of Chapo was buried at an undisclosed place south of Culiacán Francisco Aceves was quietly buried yesterday in one of the cemeteries in the town of Culiacán, Sinaloa At the stroke of noon, the body was transferred from the funeral home where a vigil was held for 48 hours, without revealing where the burial would be held; in fact, this data was not disclosed on the public announcement board at the funeral home. The exit  Initially, the funeral procession left the funeral home located at the Emiliano Zapata Boulevard and headed towards the south part of the city by avenida Álvaro Obregón. It was believed that because he was a religious devotee of la Guadalupana [Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe], surely his family would have wanted a mass at the Temple of the Virgin of Tepeyac, however, the procession did not go to the temple of La Lomita. In the end, it was decided that Francisco Aceves would continue the journey to the south of the city. Later, it was only mentioned that the man known as El Barbarino, would have been taken to a ranch, where he would be buried, however, the exact location was not made public. The funeral and the crowns Francisco Aceves, "El Barbarino", was given a sendoff lasting a little more than 48 hours. The ceremony was performed peacefully; visitors remained silent in full respect to the family. Highlighted on display were two massive arrangements with fresh roses.  "Nephews" One of these had a ribbon with the greeting: "From your nephews Ivan and Alfredo G", (Sons of Chapo) while the other, a little larger, also bore a ribbon with the salutation:
Both arrangements were placed at the entrance of the 'Ardiente Chapel". In consulting with vendors of such arrangements, whose establishments are found in the area, it was discovered the arrangements similar to these, have a price tag of 25 thousand to 30 thousand pesos each ($1,700-$2,000 USD). | ||||
| 3 La Mochomera banners appear in Acapulco, Ex-Gro Governor bank accounts frozen "money laundering" Posted: 19 Feb 2015 10:37 AM PST Lucio for Borderland Beat  The three banner messages are directed at entrepreneurs and local taxi drivers, ordering them to stop paying "piso" (narco tax/fee) to Victor Aguirre Garzon, the message is signed 'La Mochomera' "and El Jefe de Jefes" (the now deceased Arturo Beltran Leyva). The message also declares Victor Aguirre Garzon, alleged cousin of the now resigned governor Angel Aguirre Rivero, as being identified as one of the leaders of the Independent Cartel of Acapulco (ICAD). Aguirre Garzon allegedly was instrumental, in the successful governorship campaign of the former governor.  According to the publication El Universal, Victor Aguirre was linked with Arturo Beltrán Leyva and is presumed to be an ally of 'Los Guerreros Unidos', drug traffickers who are responsible for kidnappings and extortion in Guerrero. The former governor received other bad news today, the Secretariat of Finance and Public Credit (SHCP), through the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), asked the Attorney General's Office to freeze the bank accounts of the former Governor, Angel Aguirre Rivero, on suspicion of money laundering. |
