Five 'Zetas' arrested for deadly Monterrey casino attack



by Action 4 News Staff












Mexican authorities have arrested five alleged members of the Zetas drug cartel for their role in a deadly attack on a Monterrey casino.

Some 52 patrons of the Casino Royale were killed when gunmen stormed the building and used gasoline to light on fire on Thursday.

Nuevo Leon Governor Rodrigo Medina held a press conference early Monday morning to say five men have been arrested.

The El Universal newspaper reported the men were identified as:

• Luis Carlos Carrasco Espinosa, El Chihua, 25 years old, Chihuahua
• Javier Alonso Martínez Morales, El Javo, 37 years old, Monterrey
• Jonathan Jair Reina Gutiérrez, 18 years old, Monterrey
• Juan Ángel Leal Flores, 20 years old, Monterrey,
• Julio Tadeo Barrones Ramírez, El Julio Rayas, 28 years old, Monterrey

Gov. Medina told reporters that the men had lengthy criminal histories and are members of the Zetas drug cartel.

El Universal reported that one of the men was identified through fingerprints from a vehicle seized at the crime scene.

That man’s arrest led to the arrest of the other four.

Gov. Medina told reporters that the Zetas had been extorting money from the owners of the casino.

  2. Hang these bastards by their balls. Dirty rat Zetas. They gotta be some of the most detestable animals on the planet.

    I don't have the heart to do the things that they do. 52 people murdered in minutes. But the government has got to do more than just arrest a few of them. Calderon now has a Big reason to attack the entire Zetas network. Attack them on all fronts. Go get El Lazca.

    Attack the Zetas now Pendejo Calderon. They should not be able to roam around the streets in convoys in any part of mexico especially monterrey.

  7. These subhumans should be executed and have their deaths be televised. Their cowardly, and brutal attacks on people have gone too far for too long. They don't deserve sympathy nor compassion, they deserve nothing less than an agonizing death, worse than the fear and death they bestowed upon innocent people, or the pain and anguish they left on the relatives of those people, and the people of Mexico. We need people like Zapata and Villa, gente con escrupulos, to stand up and take the country back. Let's rid the world of these scumbags! Their cowardly acts of terrorism are well documented, they were set free to cause more deaths, I'll tear them limb from limb personally, their screams will be the perfect soundtrack, I'll watch their potato sack bodies thrash around the floor, as they squirm around like a fly with its wings cut off, and I'll enjoy seeing their eyes roll back as they take their last breath, and every last second they spent on this earth, they felt the pain of every senseless murder they caused, and the fear they spread is now the fear they feel through every cell in their body as they lay there grasping onto a life that wasn't worth living. An eye for an eye.

    I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU GUYS HAVE SO MUCH HATRED FOR THE ZETAS. WHY DO YOU FAVOR OTHER CARTELS MORE THAN ZETAS. ARE YOU GUYS NOT CAPABLE OF CRITICAL THINKING? ALL THE CARTELS DO THE SAME THINGS. I SWEAR, READING ALL THESE UNINTELLIGENT COMMENTS THAT SPEAK DOWN ON THE ZETAS. HOW ABOUT YOU REALIZE THE ROOT PROBLEM AND GET MAD AT THAT.

    HOW ABUT YOU GUYS GET MAD AT MEXICO AND THE GOVERNMENT FOR CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE DRUG CARTELS RULE? HOW ABOUT YOU GET MAD AT CALDERON AND WHO EVER HE TAKES ORDERS FROM FOR NOT ALLOWING MEXICAN CITIZENS TO PROTECT THEM SELVES VS THE PREDATORS? HOW ABOUT YOU GET MAD AT THE FACT THAT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT THE POPULATION (GOVERNMENT, POLICE, MILITARY) ARE AS CORRUPTS AS THE CARTELS? DO YOUR SELVES A FAVOR AND INFORM YOUR SELVES OF THE TRUTH, AND QUIT FAVORING OR DISLIKING A CERTAIN CARTEL. IT IS COMPLETELY MORONIC OF YOU TO DO SUCH THINGS. WAKE THE FUC UP PEOPLE.

    I don't favor any cartel, what we have in front of us is the report that unthinkable attack on the Casino was committed by these 5 dirtbags that belong to the Zetas. Hence so much hate towards them, I wish they got rid of everybody involved in kidnapping, and killing for drug territory, but these 5 cowards just killed 52 innocent people, and injured many more. Also, Zetas are some of the more brutal, relentless, and violent of the whole, also why so many people despise them, they don't only go after those involved, they rape innocent women, kill whoever stands in their way. Why does it matter? Why do you care? Eres joto zeta o que chingados?

  23. This is an article about zetas being caught for a heinous crime, of course people are going to hate on zetas. Some people have no common sense. Zetas kill 52 people, and people are going to call zetas scum. Do you not see the connection? When you add up the mass graves, the murdered migrants, the casino fire, its not hard to understand why ppl have so much hatred towards zetas

  24. Mexico cannot implement the death penalty for one simple fact. Mexican piticians and organized crime are one in the same. It's that simple. Everyone keeps having the same conversation. Enough already!

  33. The politicians and the narcos are in bed together and have been for many decades... That is why the death penalty was voted down again 4 years ago. If they kill the heinous criminals, they can't get out again and continue their rein of terror.

  35. all week long, I've been bombarded with coverage on hurricane Irene and I don't remember once hearing about the Monterrey massacre. I know that the american media has probably talked about it but I have not seen it once yet. the american media is all bullshit now. it's all business now. it makes me sick.

    and the hurricane, as of now, has taken 27 lives. a big category 1 hurricane that attacked the east coast still has'nt been able to match the amount of lives that were taken by a small group of rat zetas in a small casino.

  36. Lets be honest. It is impossible to ask Mexico to alter it's judicial system to get the death penalty overnight. It is such a huge move, that they will not be able to do it, even if they wanted to. Therefore, they need to go to plan b. The USA.

    Essentially, there is no reason why the USA and Mexico can't unite on this issue. If Mexicans see the light, and realize that this has about as much to do with drugs as a chinese hat stand, then they will move forward. It is terrorism, and they should call it as such. That way, Guantanamo can be employed properly, by putting these people there. Obviously, they should receive the same isolated treatment all terrorists get. Total isolation. That way, the US can give them the death penalty. Sure, it will take 10 years due to the process of law, but it is not a nice 10 years.

    Call it terrorism, hand them over to the US, and let the US try them for crimes against humanity, and drug trafficking with intent to supply the USA mainland. If Mexicans can prove they killed, it's the death penalty. If it is not provable, then do them on the drug charges, and give them life without parole. In isolation.

    For sure, Mexico is not equipped to deal with it. We all know the top guys will always be able to get off as the lawyers and judges are ALL corrupt. Give it to the states. They have no problem putting to death this sort of scum. Guantanamo should be busy right now, not empty.

  37. It's nothing other than culture that is to blame. You can say it's america's dependance on drugs but you know if China was America's neighbor that this would not be happening, thief culture is much more organized and their officials don't put up with shit. Which is why China does 80% of US manufacturing, not Mexico who is right next door. Inefficient on many levels, and let's not mention religion and poverty birth rates which are the icing on the cake.....

    @ August 30, 2011 6:47 AM Well you don't know much about others. 80% of U.S manufacturing is done in China yes but is not because Mexico is not efficient, is because Chinas products are cheaper.
    You said Chinas officials don't put up with shit, well here is something I read.

    Thousands of children in southwest China have been sold into slavery like "cabbages", to work as laborers in more prosperous areas such as the booming southern province a newspaper said.
    "The children between the ages of 13 and 15, but many look under 10," it added.
    "The youngest kids found in the child labor market were only seven and nine years old," it said.

    Mexico is the largest North American auto-producing nation, recently surpassing Canada and the U.S. The industry produces technologically complex components and engages in some research and development activities. The "Big Three" (General Motors, Ford and Chrysler) have been operating in Mexico since the 1930s, while Volkswagen and Nissan built their plants in the 1960s. In Puebla alone, 70 industrial part-makers cluster around Volkswagen.
    Foreign firms such as MD Helicopters and Bombardier build helicopters and commercial jets respectively in Mexico.

    A percentage of American-branded home appliances are actually of Mexican origin but sold under local brand names. As of 2008, one out of every four consumer appliances sold in the United States was of Mexican origin.
    In 2010, Mexico had 86 companies in the Forbes Global 2000 list. Mexico is the first and only Latin American country to be included in the World Government Bond Index or WGBI, which list the most important global economies that circulate government debt bonds.

    The electronics industry of Mexico has grown enormously within the last decade. In 2007 Mexico surpassed South Korea and China as the largest manufacturer of televisions, and in 2008 Mexico surpassed China, South Korea and Taiwan to become the largest producer of smart phones in the world.According to the World Bank, production of high-technology good represented 22% of Mexico's GDP in 2000 with the high tech sector growing by roughly 63% yearly. In 2009 Mexico's fastest growing corporation which grew by more than 1000% from $1.42 billion to $10.97 billion was LANIX, a manufacturer and designer of computers, servers and other electronics and has seven manufacturing plants in Mexico and Chile. During the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas Meebox Inc, a Guadalajara based company just founded in 2010 presented Slate, a potential competitor for the iPad; Space IT also presented in April 2011 its slate LivePad 7. Another area being currently developed in Mexico is Robotics, Mexico's new Mexone robot has been designed with the idea that in future years develop a commercial application for such advanced robots.

  39. Some higher up probably gave them to the authorities. These losses are not even slightest drops of water in the Zeta bucket. Low level sicarios are dying by the thousands and they have absolutely no problems at all replacing them, these arrests mean nothing to the Zetas.

    Without capturing of high level trafficers and most importantly their accountants and money launderers this fight will never end.
