Miguel Treviño Morales "Z-40"

Miguel Angel Treviño Morales (a.k.a: Z-40, 40, Zeta 40, David Estrada-Corado, Comandante Forty, El Catorce) is a Mexican drug trafficker who is a commander of the criminal paramilitary gang known as Los Zetas, currently led by Heriberto Lazcano. Miguel is an important figure in the Zetas, currently acting as gatekeeper of Nuevo Laredo city

Miguel Treviño is a former member of the Mexican Army’s elite Airborne Special Forces Group (GAFE), trained in locating and apprehending drug cartel members. It is believed that he was also trained at the military School of the Americas in the United States. Also, he was trained by foreign specialists, including Americans, French, and Israelis, in rapid deployment, aerial assaults, marksmanship, ambushes, small-group tactics, intelligence collection, counter-surveillance techniques, prisoner rescues and sophisticated communications.

In the late 1990s, the Gulf Cartel, a Mexican criminal organization, recruited him and other 30 GAFE members to provide protection and perform other vital functions, thus becoming Los Zetas, the paramilitary wing of the Gulf Cartel, responsible for the smuggling of multi-ton quantities of cocaine, marijuana and heroin into the United States from Mexico annually.

In 2008, Miguel Treviño and Heriberto Lazcano forged an alliance with the Beltrán Leyva brothers to form the most powerful and brutal cartel in Mexico today. Government sources said the new organization, along with Beltran Leyva's, are fighting for control against 'La Federacion' (The Federation), an alliance of drug trafficking organizations led by Joaquin "el Chapo" Guzman and by Ismael Zambada García, former allies of Beltran Leyva.

Miguel Treviño also acts as a cartel 'gate-keeper' and exacts a fee on all contraband flowing through a given area, nicknamed a "plaza". He is currently in charge of the highly lucrative Nuevo Laredo plaza, across the border from Laredo, TX. He bribes and intimidates officials to help maintain control, and puts down challenges violently. Treviño invokes such fear, very few journalists dare to write about him. Strangely, he is well known to Mexican law enforcement officials, yet he never appeared on the "most wanted" lists of Mexico's federal or Tamaulipas state's attorney general's offices.

With Treviño’s help, Los Zetas have taken on sideline operations that go beyond narcotics trafficking: human smuggling, extortion, and gunrunning. In November 2007, the city of Laredo, Texas issued an arrest warrant for Treviño in connection with a 2006 double homicide in Texas,[16] and the U.S. Department of Justice also released an indictment against Treviño for conspiracy to manufacture and distribute cocaine into the United States. There is a bounty for Treviño in Mexico set at $2 million USD and another one in U.S.A. set at $5 million USD.

  8. Word on the street is that Z-40 was killed, burned on July 16 in Nuevo Laredo while a terrorist act where a city bus collided with a narco-truck while a planed ongoing gang fight resulting in a shooting and grenades use. There are pictures over the net where you can see Z-40 burned, or so was reported by the Televisa news.

  13. Dejame preguntarles a ustedes que leyen este blog desde Mexico.

    Yo se que Los Zetas son unos hijos de la chingada que ni su madre los quiere (como dice la barbie)

    Pero no es sierto que los del Golfo, la FAmilia, Y los Chapitos tambien hacen las mismas desgraciadas, y que por toda la culpa que le echan a los Zeta's, asi tambien se comportan TODOS LOS OTROS CARTELES?

    En mi opinion, No existe un narco bueno. Para mi, esa idea es una tonteria que se los venden los pesados del los carteles: ellos son los unicos que viven muy bien en estos tiempos tan dificil. Y con muy buena razon: A ellos no les importan ni sus ninos. Solo aman el dinero. Eso es la verdad.

    Lo juro

  14. Anonymous is absolutely right, Trevino was never in the military and he did work for
    Arturo Martinez back in the day. He was slinging
    "Mex Mud" over in Laredo for Arturo and his hermanos. The whole Martinez-Herrera Family ran
    all the "Mex Mud" in Laredo all the way up to
    San Antonio.and he was definately low man on that totem pole until Arturo was murdered and
    Billy went into hiding. How he hooked up with the Z's was through C.D.G. and when Osiel got
    busted he went over to the Z's cuz their was more money and he brought his brother Alajandro
    with him!

  18. This guy is without a doubt a "Stone Killer" but
    don't make him out to be some Super Man. The people who he decapitates have their hands tied
    behind their backs! This guy is really nothing
    but a peice of shit and why he's alive is because he's got money and he's a "Informer" to
    both the DEA and AFI.
