Los Zetas and MS-13 team up in Central America

"Tijuano" for Borderland Beat

 
The Salvadoran Mara  has become a major link in the human and drug smuggling chains that Los Zetas have in Central America.
The services that these Centro American gang originated in Los Angeles provides to the ruthless Mexican cartel have passed from simply bringing protection to drug shipments, to being actively involved in the logistics of cocaine trafficking, human smuggling and weapon sales to Los Zetas.
In exchange, the former military wing of the Gulf Cartel provides with military training to some members of the criminal group.
A study run by the International Assessment and Strategy Center in the US titled “Central American Gangs and Transnational Criminal Organizations, The    Changing Relationships          in a Time of Turmoil” reveals that MS-13 from El Salvador has established an unprecedented new relationship with the Mexican cartel.

According to the study, up until recent years the  main task of the Salvadoran gangs was to protect the cocaine shipments coming from South America, which once arriving to El Salvador belonged to the Mexican Cartels.

However, in recent months, according to testimonies from gang members and Salvadoran police officers consulted for the report, the cartel of Los Zetas and MS-13 have reached more lucrative arrangements for both in their criminal activities.
 
When the Mexican cartels presence began to grow in the region and they began to seize control of the Central American drug routes, mainly in the triangle comprised of Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras.

 Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) grew in fire power, setting aside their reliance on small caliber weapons, acquiring instead AK-47 rifles, grenades, grenade launchers and antitank projectiles, which most of the time are sold to Los Zetas or interchanged for small quantities of cocaine which they later sell in the local market.
 
According to the report, the weapons acquired by the MS-13 for Los Zetas are mainly purchased in Nicaragua, although they are also purchased to corrupt military men from Honduras and El Salvador, coupled with this, the report continues, MS-13 keeps an efficient and independent network of human trafficking to move gang members from and to the United States.
 
This network allows them to bring Central America to the United States in only 72 hours. Nowadays, the report says, their structure is merging with the smuggling networks of Los Zetas in an unprecedented alliance for both groups.

The reports even states that all the Central American “coyotes” or “polleros” (human smugglers) that use the routes controlled by Los Zetas are members of MS-13, which could mean the first real consolidation of two human smuggling networks in the region.

They see themselves as partners
One of the main dogmas preached in MS-13 is “The group works for nobody”. The study mentions that there have been efforts by Los Zetas, mostly successful, to recruit the best and most talented killers and hit men from MS-13.
Finally the report states that the relationship between these groups is evolving to cooperation levels never before seen. It says that some associated cells of MS-13 like the “Fulton Locos Salvatruchas” and the “Hollywood Loco Salvatrucho”, which are the most vicious groups, have received training from Los Zetas.

  11. For the most part, Guatemala is under control of CDS and the Zetas. This serves as a pipeline for drug trafficking, human smuggling, and hitmen for the cartels. It expands the scope of the sphere of control for the cartels. As long as the high level of poverty continues to exist in C.A., there will never cease to be a shortage of men who join the ranks of the mara 's, or cartels. And not just maras. In the early 2000's, special forces of the Guatemalan military, Los Kaibiles, joined the ranks of the Zetas. They provided bodyguard duty for Lasca and helped traine an army for the Z's.

  13. There is Mexicans and there are Spicks. These guys are Spicks. The anti gun liberals need to spend the night with these guys. Maybe then they will realize that the world is full of evil people who think nothing of life, and that if you have a right to that life you should have every right to protect it.

  31. Darn Ipods, so tiny a screen, I meant to write this message but what BB was kind enough to post was my so-so message missing words in a number of sentences I had written. The original message was suppose to be:

    It's a SICK cult -- and, said the leader Of The Cult TO 'the new recruit(s),

    "The first thing that must go is 'VALUES'! You must learn to be as inhumane as can be and ... You must 'Learn to FEEL NOTHING'. You are a RAT but with us, you are a vEry spEcial ...'PREDATOR', the best RAT(s) that THE DEVIL Ever Put On earth to SCREW Lower Life Forms (and they are TAUGHT THAT the lower life forms are, the Ordinary People like us who can be taken Advantage Of = "Good people Are Weak and you can and MUST take advantage of them or else you'll never get anywhere" -- at least not with THIS or that 'D.e.l.i.n.q.u.e.n.t' Cartel!!. The SPELL they are UNDER puts them under the control of their LEADER and the SPELL must not be broken. They are taught to be machines that feel nothing or else they might want to Be Human Again and Be Part Of A COMMUNITY that cares about the neighbors, THEIR neighbors, THEIR country, and The family Members of OTHER human beings, and they and not taught to Play An Important Part In The World At Large.

    1. Honestly, Mexicans should import themselves to see how tough they really are over in the middle east. Then we will see how long they survive. They have no strength. its a poversh country run by little men who think they have big wieners. They talk the talk but can't walk the walk. They don't have intelligence and solve everything with violence because they are lower level barbarians who no other country wants to mess around with because they are small fries. If Mexico wakes up and realizes how little they are compared to the middle east and Africa, and how much they are minimal compared to other cartels and mafias, they might have a sporting chance of survival. The only thing saving Mexico's ass from being invaded by other larger countries is AMERICA!

  34. I wonder what we would be like had we been born across the border? Idk but what can we do to help this situation?

  35. I understand why people have such extremely bad comments against the cartels and their men and leaders. But I don't see it wrong. They are the reflection of the environment they are born and brought up. If you do not kill others or be prepared to kill others, then they will kill you. So, its just the way they are nurtured. Cartels or their followers are humans too and they know what love is and family. They do understand the love of little son or a little daughter. They too have emotions. And remember please, I'm not a gang member of any kind or have anyone exist in my family or extended family. And I believe in Nature or God...Vj
