MS-13 Recruited by the Sinaloa Cartel

The powerful Mexican drug cartel of Sinaloa actively recruited street gang members of the notorious Mara Salvatrucha in places like South America, Central America and the US.

The MS 13 gang, aka Mara Salvatrucha 13, is one of the most violently and well respected gangs in the world. The extremly dangerous  MS 13 gang has cliques, or cells, located throughout the United States and Mexico, and is unique in that it retains is ties to its El Salvador counterparts.

 Recent violence in Mexico’s Pacific resort town, Acapulco, indicates that the MS-13 may have grown beyond street gang status, working now as muscle for the Sinaloa Cartel.

Recently Mexican authorities found four bodies in Acapulco. One victim had been beheaded. They later announced that the bodies belonged to four local cops who had gone missing a week earlier. Bodies littered with bullets have become a weekly affair in Acapulco since the cartels have begun fighting over access to the Pacific to receive shipments of cocaine from South America.

What captured Mexican media attention, however, was the one body found without a head. In the early days beheadings had traditionally not been common in Mexico, and the change in tactics has led many to believe that the MS-13 gang may be behind some of the killings in Acapulco.

Deputy Attorney General Vasconcelos believes that MS-13 gang members have been employed by the Sinaloa Cartel. Yet the MS-13 is not known for beheadings, which has led Mexican media and others to speculate that Kaibiles are involved in the increase in violence in Acapulco who have a reputation to do such atrocities in places like Guatemala.

Or is it possible that like some of the GAFES of the Mexican military defected to form Los Zetas, is equally possible that some of the old veteranos Kaibiles have joined to form part of the Mara Salvatrucha for the same exact reasons?

MS-13, as any  other street gang, has in the past lacked the organizational skills and ability of large powerful cartel syndicates who are controlled by a central leadership, have complicated coordinations and a strategic to carry out long term plans in the trafficking of drugs in to the US. The street gangs typically do not have the resources and political influence to compete with well-placed cartels like Sinaloa or even Zetas.

But there is hard evidence that organizations like Los zetas have not only used some members of this particular gang, as the Juarez Cartel has used Barrio Azteca to enforce their will, but Los Zetas have also conducted training in parts of Central and South America, and have even allowed gang bangers to lead in operations as when "El Comandante Kilo" operated in San Fernando on behalf of Los Zetas.

Two trends are clear: First, Mexico’s warring cartels have begun to outsource their muscle to non-Mexican elements. Significant evidence has mounted indicating that the Kaibiles are indeed involved with the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas. And there is a good chance members of the MS-13 based in Guatemala, El Salvador or Honduras have been involved in cartel activity and are currently active with Sinaloa cartel or any other cartel needing to reinforce their operations.

  2. I hate gang mentality. The Sinaloa Cartel are stupid to hire this people, the cartels used to be different back in the days, the were just drug trafficking organizations, but now whit gang mentalities they are public enemies number one. We need to kill them all.

    Kill them all, and let God separate the good ones from the bad ones.

  3. The article is the headline, not much else but speculation. We've known Kaibiles, like 'el oster', have been recruited by the Zetas for years. And since when are beheadings rare in Mexico? No info here that they've taken up with CDS though, writer is just guessing.

    You are wrong and possibly not well informed or in denial (or all the above). I live in Mexico and gangs are here and have been here for a while. Gangs play a key role in all the cartels, and are used mostly in the distribution of drugs, but as the article alluded, they now play a bigger role (plaza bosses and sicarios etc, , , ). There is no guess here, it is in the news every day, take the time to read it. Also the article did not say beheading were rare in Mexico, but anyone who lives in mexico and reads the news coming from there knows that the extent of the brutality has not always been at this level.

  9. I think what 11:44 meant was that there is no definite info linking CDS with MS-13 in this article. It wouldn't be a surprise of course, but it's a stretch to assume so because a body was beheaded.

    You're right though, it didn't say Beheading was rare in Mexico, only that MS-13 usually doesn't.

  10. The Michoacanos were the ones to make beheading and body dismembering common in Mexico in their war with the zetas. ms 13 has nothing to do with it becomin common in Mexico

    1. I think you are right, since.their war started michoacanos became known to be even more ruthless then before , and to what I've heard the michoacanos are.the most involved in this war. And tend to be all over Mexico fighting. Probably all united under a common threat los Zetas. DEATH PENALTY TO SICARIOS,TRAFFICKERS EXTORTIST AND KIDNAPPERSS

  13. Come on people mutilation of murder victims is nothing new in Mexico or the United States, I just finish watching one of The Investigators shows called deadly exposed and they worked on a case of two mutilated women in California back in 1980 the women were raped and mutilated.

  14. Marasalvacuachas, they ain't shit. I did 15 flat @ the Ramsey I Unit TDCJ, about 23 of them punks were doing time on some bullshit charges out of Houston, TX, and they salvatruchas were nothing but some old convict bitch. Everytime there was a riot they would cry to TDCJ authorities and the consulate about getting some kind of protection or a transfer to another TDCJ unit. I have no idea why the cartels would hire them to fight on their side when there were scare to hell to fight during the El Salvador guerrillas back in the 70's.

  23. the first person that i heard to behead someone was Ramón Arellano Félix when he beheaded Héctor Luis Palma Salazar wife and two small children and then paid one of his hitmen to dump there body's of a brigde this happen in the early 90's Sinaloans have been doing this shit for years to each other or how about Manuel Salcido El Cochiloco who was known for killing his rivials and dumping there body parts all over sinaloa. it just so happens that because now they putting more focus on it that they were surprised when they did it. Sinaloa is known for bringing out some of the worst killers, drug traffickers the world has ever seen. Michoacan has only been in the spotlight for a couple of years were as Sinaloa has been there for dacades do your research before ya'll open your mouth

  30. Ms 13 are punks, they got killed in mexico.for example when they trying to take over mexico city. The gangs of mexico city United and took out Ms 13 members and in Tijuana the cops pick the ms 13 up and hang them and sent them a message. Manda mas cabron . Ms 13 didn't do shit. In Nashville the Brown pride took them out. New York, blood and Latin king attack MS 13 and they got beat up. In Los Angeles in the early 1990 the ms13 that time was known as MSs. Think they had balls . The mexican mafia told them to pay taxes for using their city. The MSS say fuck no. So the mexican mafia order all the gangs in California to killed all of them MSS memebers. MSS were getting killed and in prison to. So MSS they cry and ask for the Mexican mafia to stop and they will pay taxes to them. So the MSs change their name to MS 13. The 13 mean mexican mafia. Since that day they paid taxes to the mafia.In Santa Maria, California. The ms 13 tried to take over that city. All the gangs of Santa Maria and other city closed to it. United as one big gang and started to killed ms 13 gang. Because they were killing innocent people and not respecting them. So that big gang was only killing Ms 13 members. And they success and wipe out ms13 out from that city.in Louisiana when they go in prison about to get deport it. The main gang is Sur 13. As ms 13 is part of the surenos. They are part of sur 13. My cousin was telling me ; ms 13 members tried to have their own area to seat. The sur 13 members. Got piss on them becauze that is all surenos terrority. So the ms 13 split and respect the sur 13 decision. MS 13 is only strong in central americas becausr there is no other competition. But mexico has alot of criminals gangs. So is hard for ms 13 to take over. So central americas don't come with your story to the mexico people. How bad they are. Because Mexico has more violence and you always hear 23 people or 70 people getting massacred. I don't hear that in central americas. Or having a ms 13 shoot out with the government. So ms 13 ain't like that bad.
