CDG:"El Orejón" leader of "los Ciclónes" captured

Lucio R. Borderland Beat using information from Reforma


The Coordination Group Tamaulipas said Friday members of the Ministry of Defense National arrested in Matamoros Angel Eduardo Prado Rodríguez, head of the Golfo Cartel in this border town and premier leader of CDG’s “Los Ciclones”.

Prado Rodríguez, "Ciclón 7 also known as El  Orejón, it was rated as one of 15 priority objectives of the strategy of Tamaulipas security.

The suspect was the sole objective on that list had not been detained since May 13, 2014.

His arrest was made in a raid shortly after six in the morning today.

He was transferred to the premises of the Deputy Attorney Specialized Investigation of Organized Crime (SEIDO) in Mexico City, and is expected to be presented later to the media.

BB Forum poster ComputerJa does an outstanding job following the complicated dynamics of CDG in Tamaulipas.   He weighed in with this:

Judging by the large number of federal agents and by the nature of the operation, I believe that Mexican authorities were planning this out for days and were very close to "Ciclón 7" probably all this week. Shootings began early in the morning on Friday in the Buena Vista and San Francisco (the former is where his legal residence was), and then it spread through other sectors of the city. He was captured around 6 a.m. when the Mexican military finally surrounded him.

As for his successors, some people have been mentioning "Comandante Fili"/"Ciclón 385". We had speculated in a past at the forum that "Fili" was at odds with "Ciclón 7". Apparently "Fili" was aligned with a guy known as Gerardo Silva (alias "El Balaceras"). We don't know if their grudge was real, but if it is, it is very likely that they pushed for "Ciclón 7's" fall, given the fact that the government had him on their radar. Another possibility is "Tony"/"Ciclón 11", the brother of the fallen "Ciclón 4". Then there's "Chichiquema"/"Ciclón 12". There were past rumors that they wanted "Ciclón 7" out of the game back in 2014. Itzli and I speculated that these rumors were part of a large campaign of lies created by other members of Gulf Cartel to create distrust and confusion within the ranks. But it seems that things are taking their natural course of action anyways.


Now, there's apparently a different group in Matamoros that was against "Ciclón 7" too. Big names in that alliance are Carlos "El Cuate" Martínez, Secundino Mata ("El Dino"), Juan Ángel Trujillo Gutiérrez ("Negro" ?). "El Cuate" is married to a member of the Cárdenas clan, but he apparently waged a war with Los Ciclones because he wasn't given the high position that he wanted. He is widely regarded as a violent and explosive guy, so this makes sense. If a Cárdenas member were to take "Ciclón 7's" place, my guess would be Mario Alberto "El Beto" Cárdenas Medina.

  2. This gun-toting, sawed off punk, without a clue or conscience, is the reputed leader of a chapter of the golfos? No wonder they are being degraded and losing territory.

    1. He was just the leader of the ciclones! Don't think the ciclones have lost territory, they still control Matamoros

    2. Gun toting sawed off punk, is he too short?
      --he shot it up with the army, police, marinas, paracos, for hours, and was captured alive, why punk?
      --his own cdg congenerates who did not IIke his ass, apparently did not have the balls to take him on by themselves, they must be really "saved off shorter punks", but i'm glad that the captors could show for once that they can 'acshually' capture one crook alive once in a while, withtout killing, murdering, torturing, disappearing 50 other criminal narco traffickers or "kidnappers"...

I'm from British Columbia canada. Thank you all the reporters who take the time to translate Spanish to English. ( Mucha gracias mentener el buen trabajo)... psychological. I'm not a cartel groupie. I just would rather hear news that matters and not fake CNN reports about bin Laden running around.

  21. What i want to know are they drug dealers ir drug lords. How can you run an organization and nobodys on the same page. Who supplies them with their drugs. Seems to me they are robbing stash spots here and their. How does the gulf work, i mean its eady to see the sinaloa cartel is supplied by Chapo Mayo and the other bosses. But the gulf sound like a street gang robbing drugs and stealing cars. And how could a Cardenas be in charge after its a known fact osiel gave up info on everything. I remember back in the 90's all the black dudes would take their cars and truck to texas and swap out for a job and a plug. Today these so called same cartels cant even afford to buy trucks and cars no more. They steal more than they buy. Man Brownsville and laredo was the spot back then.

  28. This guy got promoted to chief of plaza of Matamoros when Jr or 900 got arrested in port issabel andbhas been the most visible lider of the c.d.g. or mana since then, its hard to understand how this guys can stay whit the plaza after their boss who crated los ciclones to guard him turned into informat the was even a video audio from court records whit Cardenas vela Jr telling how the cartel worked almost imidietly after being arrested he gave in,in osiels case the same thing he snitched on everything the cartel did back then and his fam stayed in power and still is ,jrs 900 wife lives in Brownsville, tx and she gets a check from the cartel every month just for being married to him, el cuate might be the one sooner or later to be head of the plaza but still he is married to Mario's Cardenas guillen daughter he is his son in-law but motherfuker its just to crazy,he was an nobody that went out one night in Matamoros and met Cardenas daughter they dated after a while they decided to get married but before that she told him to go and talk to his dad mario Cardenas was in Santa Adelaida out side Matamoros (chivis can confirm that )if wanted to he could just walked out of there the corruption in that place its crazy so he did they both went after they saw him and talked about the wedding he told him to come back tomorrow to talk about how he was going to feed his daughter that she was used to a surtain way of living and that whit the job he had he coldent give it to her..Matamoros, tam

  29. So he eventually went the next day to talk to mario Cardenas in Santa Adelaida he offered him a chance toake money like crazy he gave him drugs a box full of bags of coke to sell about 2keys for him he told him that if he got arrested by state of the blue a.f.i he could get him out no problem they where on the cartel payroll but the Mexican soilders they was another story,he started selling coke in puntos he had it easy this was in the early 2000 osiel ended up getting arrested and sent to penal LA palma where he would get visits from like his wife kids nephews including Mario's Cardenas son in-law they would go at least once a month to see what osiel need going from money coke beer prostitute's whatever and he would go back from LA palma whit news from osiel to their fam members that couldn't see him its just really gets me how this fam can keep being on top whit out anybody doing something I guess it's all that money they have made over the year of impunity that they just pay who ever to be doing their dirty work out in the street..Matamoros, tam

    2. Who ever you are your story is false. Cuate is not married to marios daughter it's osiels daughter. This family was well off even before he got married to her. Remember money sticks to money. Of course they might have gained financial gain from this but the Martinez family has always been known to be well off. The last thing his father inlaw wants is for him to put his family in danger. The way this family operates is they don't let the bosses family get their hands dirty they simply kick back and receive there money. In other words there is no need for the cuate to get involved. There is no need and there never will be.

    4. He has a uncle and some cousins in Texas that where big in the game. His uncle that some called el tio spent a long time in prison in Texas. El tios son known as lulu was also a big time distributor. The word is that el tio was kidnapped in N.L. Just outside of Monterrey. This is the only ties i know of any of his family having anything to do with the drug game. El tio from what I have herd has been involved with drug cartels since the late eighty's early 90's but the cuate and his father have always been legit. I have been told that el tio is still missing but it could be that he is hiding. As for his son lulu I have been told that he is laying low. I have also been told that lulu wants nothing to do with that lifestyle but who knows. A lot of people came up when el tio came up missing.
