UPDATE: The 44 Dead in Apodca Prison Riot Were CDG Killed by Zetas-Then Escaped

Prison authorities have been detained suspected of helping the mass escape.
In an interview with media, the warden said the riot occurred between 2 a.m. (0800 GMT) and 3 a.m. (0900 GMT) on Sunday due to the power struggle between members of the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas Cartel that vie for control of drug sales inside the prison, located north of the city of Monterrey, capital of Nuevo Leon, about 800 km north of capital of Mexico City.

MONTERREY, Mexico – Imprisoned members of the hyper-violent Zetas drug cartel stabbed and bludgeoned 44 members of the rival Gulf cartel to death and then staged a mass escape, apparently with the help of prison authorities, officials in northern Mexico said Monday.

Rodrigo Medina, governor of the northern state of Nuevo Leon, said the prison's director and three other officials have been fired and are under investigation for purportedly helping in the escape. The same was done with 18 prison guards.

"Unfortunately, a group of traitors has set back the work of a lot of good police," Medina told a news conference. "The most important thing is to make sure that the people working on the inside are on the side of the law, and that they not be corrupted and collaborate with the criminals, as the investigations indicate they presumably did."

Medina did not say how the escape was carried out, but he noted that no members of any gang had broken into the prison to spring their colleagues, as has happened at other Mexican prisons. Nor were any firearms smuggled into the facility; all of the deaths apparently occurred with blunt instruments or improvised knives.

Medina confirmed that all 30 escaped inmates were linked to the Zetas cartel, a brutal gang founded by deserters from an elite Mexican military unit.

He did not say what crimes the escaped inmates had been convicted of, but said 25 of the 30 were in the prison on federal charges, which often involve drug trafficking or illegal weapons possession. Medina offered a reward of 10 million pesos (almost $800,000) for information leading the arrest of those involved in the mass escape.

Medina did not say whether the riot and murders were carried out to cover up the jailbreak, but said the mass escape appeared to have been planned, and may have involved help from authorities at a specific point along the prison perimeter, known as Tower Six.

The Zetas and Gulf cartels were allies before splitting in 2010 and they have been fighting turf battles in Monterrey and elsewhere in northeastern Mexico.

Medina repeated a complaint often voiced by governors in northern Mexico, where violent drug cartel suspects are often lodged in state prisons that are overcrowded and don't meet the standards of the country's few maximum-security federal lockups.

"It would be very good for the state if a large number of federal inmates are transferred out, in light of the overcrowding we have," Medina said, noting that a lot of the inmates "are very highly dangerous."

Prison guards in Mexico are vulnerable to corruption; they are poorly paid and in many cases, they and their families are vulnerable to threats because they live in the same poor neighborhoods where the cartels operate.

The prison is located in Apodaca, a part of the Monterrey metropolitan area that is Mexico's third-largest and that has long been the country's symbol of development and prosperity.
All 2,500 inmates in the prison were incarcerated for federal crimes, and as many as 70 percent had yet to be convicted. The inmate population there grew by 1,500 in the last year to 180 percent of capacity, the result of a crackdown on organized crime and drug trafficking in the last year.

Medina said about 60 percent of inmates in local lockups across the state are facing federal charges.

Deadly fights happen periodically in Mexico's prisons as gangs and drug cartels stage jail breaks and battle for control of penitentiaries, often with the involvement of officials. Sunday's riot was one of the deadliest so far.
Thirty-one prisoners died in January during a prison riot in the Gulf coast city of Altamira in Tamaulipas state, which borders Texas. Another fight in a Tamaulipas prison in the border city of Matamoros in October killed 20 inmates and injured 12.
Zeta Escapees
Last July, a riot at a prison in the border city of Juarez killed 17 inmates. Mexican authorities detained the director and four guards over that clash. Surveillance video showed two inmates opening doors to let armed prisoners into a room where the slain victims were reportedly holding a party.

Twenty-three people were killed in a prison riot in Durango city in 2010, and a 2009 riot in Gomez Palacio, another city in the northern Mexican state of Durango, killed 19 people.

More than 47,500 people have been killed in drug-related violence since 2006, when President Felipe Calderon intensified Mexico's crackdown on organized crime.

Families of prisoners protested outside the prison because they couldn't get information on the victims. Only 10 of the dead had been identified by late afternoon.

The Apodaca prison was also the scene of a fire last May that killed 14. Officials then said the blaze could have been caused by a short circuit, not a prisoner uprising.

  6. The Feds have to actually start treating this as a war. "The Drug war" is nothing more than a label of uselessness.

    In a real war these traitor guards & prison admins would be put against a wall and shot. The escaping zeta scum would be hunted down and dragged to the gallows like the monsters they are.

    The ultimate price has to start being made against the corrupted, and the thugs doing the corrupting.

    This backwards war, with rules of engagement seemingly made up on the spot, will be the end of Mexico unless the feds start biting back with real teeth.

    Cartel scum must be exterminated.

  9. This is an extreme travesty within the prison system to have so many prison murders & escapes. Not only should the entire staff be investigated, but many should be arrested, indicted, prosecuted and serve prison time as well.

    In addition, there is seldom any follow-up by the press regarding a conclusion of those being investigated...this is a function of professional journalism that is woefully lacking in Mexico’s news...

  10. when the guards are on your side, & provide the weapons, and probrably had the victims at gun point while the massacre occurred. don't sound like a fair fight.

  11. "Nor were any firearms smuggled into the facility; all of the deaths apparently occurred with blunt instruments or improvised knives."
    =============================================

    That proves that even without guns they are still going to kill so the argument blaming the U.S. because of the guns is complete BULLSHIT!

  12. Looks like the overcrowding problem has been alleviated somewhat! Wonder how many people the 30 escaped Zetas will kill before they are captured or killed themselves?

  21. The military knows where all of these ranches are they just don't want to do anything about it. I live just down the road from the entrance to a main ranch in Coahuila and have sat in my home many times and watched the military drive all up and down our road yet they won't go out to the ranch. The people in our community say that it is because they will be overpowered. I believe it is because the government wants to allow this to continue.

  25. The guns from the States or South America don't help pieces of shit like this sure they don't need guns to kill as they're just animals but guns sure as hell don't help either. The Mex govt should house the guards in a compound if it's too dangerous for them & their families to protect them until all this shit goes away is it any wonder the guards are corrupt if they live in the same barrios. Also Mexico should have built more maximum fed prisons long ago if the drugs has been building up this last decade just because nothing was reported doesn't mean the problem wasn't there all Latin countries neglect their prisons, they're old, decrepit, y drastically need modernising, also I'm a catholic but for ppl like these ruining a beautiful country bring in the death penalty they're just parasites in society & shit breed shit.

  37. Wow, I didn't know there were some many "Internet sicarios" on here! Especially the low-life idiot with the moniker "R-666," are you serious? This blog has turning out to be fantasy land for a bunch of pussies claiming they are in the know...when in reality they don't know shit! I've yet to see a comment indicating any form of intimate knowledge of any cartel from a so-called DTO member on here! Than of course you have the other idiots, who egg these guys on by acting like cheerleaders..lol.

    The fact is the Zetas are bigger and more influential than the CDG...bottom line! The CDG is on the decline and probably already has splintered into others cells or members have joined the Zetas or some other cartel! Whether you care or not these are the facts...don't listen to these idiots on here claiming they know this or they know that...its bullshit and facts don't match their comments! There will always be some sorta CDG but it will never be like it was in the '90s...so get over it putos!!!

  38. TO THESE RETARDS WHO THINK THAT CDG IS DONE: CDG CONTROLS MOST OF TAMPS, THEY HAVE PLAZAS IN NUEVO LEON, THEY HAVE PLAZAS IN VERACRUZ AND HAS A PRESENCE IN ZACETECAS. ZETAS STILL CANT TAKE PLAZAS IN TAMPS EVEN WHEN CDG HAS INTERNAL PROBLEMS JAJA ZETAS GOT THEIR ASSES KICKED IN VALLE HERMOSO

  50. Some talks I heard said that the death tally a
    Was over 150, the Government of Rodrigo MedinA is making
    A big cover up.

    There was also over 30 "Z" that escaped some hardcore killers.

    On my opinion: the CDG is going to make a serious counter for that attack on them, several of the dead were some important members of the CDG in the Region of N.L. My instincts never get confused, I just hope there's no civis killed in the counter.

  59. Zetas ehave like a wolfpack, not like a gang. Their behavior is more closely related to the US military than most people would imagine. They will turn on the weakest of their own when they have to and move forward. It is actually quite efficient in a sense. Almost like a virus.
