| Arrested: "El Comandante Ramas" , Zetas Tamaulipas Regional Chief Posted: 23 Mar 2015 10:58 PM PDT Lucio R. -Material from: Vanguardia archive, Tamaulipas Gob, and "Pepe"  Some reports are calling today's arrest of Comandante Ramas, as "the man who was the replacement for Z42", "Z40's closest compadre", And "the greatest target subsequent to Z42". While he is/was a long time Zeta and an important regional leader, he has never been mentioned as the new Zs premier leader. His name is Ramiro Pérez Moreno, alias "El comandante Ramas", "7-4", or "El Rama". As of 2013 he was reported as the Jefe de Plaza for Nuevo Laredo. In researching his history there isn't much in the press/blog archives, but there is an interesting story from 2008. In 2007, "El Ramas," was arrested in Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, along with Salvador Alfonso Martínez Escobedo, "La Ardilla,"- a close friend of Lazca, who later became a senior Zeta- and with Gerardo Sánchez Trujillo, Alfredo de la Fuente Ramos and Luis Antonio Rodriguez Azuara. They were incarcerated, when a year later, an armed commando with AK47s and AR15s burst into the Centro de Readaptación Social (Cereso) "Duport Ostión" in Coatzacoalcos. After the gunmen immobilized guards and officials, they liberated the men named above in the 2007 arrest. The armed commando was described at the time: "a group of Los Zetas, the armed enforcers for Golfo Cartel"
What is reported about Monday's capture, as reported by Tamaulipas State government: The Tamaulipas Coordination Group announced that in an operation by state and federal security forces, on Monday March 23, Ramiro Pérez Ramos "El Rama," classified by the National Security Commission as regional commander of the cartel Los Zetas and one of the leaders of that group, was arrested in the city of Nuevo Laredo. He was added to the Federal list of 14 priority objectives in the second phase (2014) of Tamaulipas Security Strategy. A ground operation led to the arrest of Pérez Ramos with several of his accomplices identified as Carlos Roberto Hernandez "El Pato," Humberto Eleuterio Gutiérrez Martínez, "El Sonrics," Luis Rolando Caudillo Garza, "El Guicho," and Daniel Israel Peña de la Rosa "El Piedrolo." They refer to him as Ramiro Pérez Ramos, however his booking name in 2007 in Moreno not Ramos. Federal officials reported: based on his history, the suspect is today the most important commander of this criminal gang, with areas of influence in Coahuila, Tamaulipas and Veracruz. | ||||||
