Z-12 Captured in Monerrey

Elements of the Navy, Federal Police and State Investigation Agency Nuevo Leon captured the alleged Zeta leader Luis Reyes Enriquez, The Rex or Z-12, a founder and leader of the Zetas.

He was allegedly responsible for the operations of the criminal group in Tamaulipas and Nuevo Leon,  and was arrested Thursday night in the municipality of San Pedro Garza Garcia near the city of Monterrey, Juan Carlos Silva,  head of the anti-drugs division of the federal police was quoted as saying.

According to information released by the newspaper Vanguardia, the criminal leader had his residence in the municipality of San Pedro.

 
 However, the Mayor of San Pedro said that Reyes did not live in that community and had just finished dinner a restaurant in the city when arrested.   There are reports that Reyes had 3 homes in the Monterrey area and rotated between them.

 Reyes had been the focus of a three-month-long investigation which revealed he was making his home in three different locations, two in Monterrey and one — an exclusive hotel — in San Pedro Garza García, one of Mexico’s wealthiest communities.

Fifty-one federal agents — including 30 Navy personnel, nine anti-drug agents and 12 officials from the State Investigations Agency — intercepted the drug lord while he was driving a vehicle in Monterrey. No shots were fired and there was no violence.

The alleged organized crime leader in Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas was arrested in June 2007 in Atotonico, in the State of Hidalgo when Los Zetas was amidst a violent rampage against other gangs across the country.  He was sentenced to 48 years in prison.

However, he was let go from the Puente Grande maximum security prison in April 2015 after a judge lifted his sentence on a technicality.  That decision was reversed in August 2015 but Reyes Enriquez went into hiding after an order for his re-arrest was issued.

He now faces “a sentence of 47 years and six months in jail,” Silva said.

Reyes Enriquez was a former soldier who served in the Army from 1990 to 1999 and achieved a rank of Sergent in the mid 90's, when he was assigned to work in Tamaulipas as a judicial police officer with the federal Attorney General’s office.

That was in 1998. A year later he quit the armed forces to  work for Osiel Cardenas and the Gulf Cartel where he, along with several other former soldiers, helped found the Zetas, originally the armed wing of the Gulf Cartel.   .   

However, the group grew in force and broke off ties to the Gulf Cartel in 2010 to arguably become Mexico's most violent cartel.

Reyes kept up his close ties to Lazcano until his death in 2012 and reportedly is still close to Osiel Cardenas even after his extradition in 2007.  He is still a Zeta, but is known to have signed mantas along with Gulf Cartel leaders in giving warnings to the newer cartels wanting to expand into the North East.  There are even reports of he and his crew have fought battles alongside the Gulf Cartel against common enemies. 

Z-12 is considered to be one of the principal leaders of Los Zetas.

    2. Old school Zetas put that name to fool the public they aren't the real Zetas .CDN are the real Zetas and still own Nuevo Laredo and all the important plazas , they have an alliance with the Juarez cartel and BLO , they aren't going anywhere

      Delete
    3. The old school zetas could not have been more than they got to be because their pea brained hare brains do not allow for that, they were "military", their brains burn when somebody is not giving them "orders" after a while, seta chorrienta found out about that real quick...

  2. This isn't good. I hate the Zetas but Z-12 was a main leader of the Grupo Bravo/Vieja Escuela. The Trevino clan have to be wiped out for the immense evil they brought upon northern Mexico. With this arrest the Bravo group will be weakened and they might lose this war against the CDN.

    Chivis what are your thoughts on the Federal government being bribed by someone affiliated with the CDN to arrest Z12, why haven't they gone after Kiko Trevino isn't he even more violent than Z-12, that would be a greater good imo.

    2. Bravo is backed up by very well equipped groups in chihuahua. It would be unwise to start a war between them, only people that would greatly benefit from that would be cds

    3. Cds are known for that too. But in their fake corridos they claim they would go out guns blazing lol at least zetas don't do all that yapping and no action.

    5. Bravo 1 is not backed up by any group in Chihuahua ( la linea , Nuevo Cartel de Juarez, Los linces ) you got that information wrong , the group backed up by groups in Chihuahua is CDN led by Kiki Trevino , he is also backed by Chapo Isidro and the Beltran Leyva Cartel . Grupo Bravo or Zetas Vieja escuela are almost done they're nothing.

    4. dd with a tactical retreat you live 2 fight another day. But apperently 11:44 is related 2 Mario Almada. That guy never loses any fight. - El Sol Perdido

    5. Mario Almada ya no puede ni peyerse solo, sol peyido.
      Fact is, las treviñas kept the zetas money and investments, los setas originales, gafes, ex police, de la vieja escuela de rateros, perdieron hasta las nalgas, con las niñas treviñas, por eso el taliban ya andaba safadose cuando "murió" el lazca

      Delete
    6. "Tactical retreat", or as Muslims throughout history have put it, "strategical withdrawal" is what a loser says instead of admitting cowardice. Sol Perdido, how do you live to "fight" another day when you didn't fight in the first place? With that cowards philosophy you live to run away another day from another fight.

      Delete
    7. A tactical retreat in the face of overwhelming odds is smart. George Washington did it in the war of independence, the Brits at Dunkirk etc

      Delete
    8. 5:17 you added a qualification but I suppose being smart doesn't necessarily exclude cowardice. I disagree with you.

      Delete
    9. Staying alive to fight another day is no cowardice, it is commandment #1 of any guerrilla manual, it also brought down the nazis, the mongols, the french at Dien bien phu, and at argel, and the marinas at vie5nam and the shores of Montezuma, and what brought pinochet's elite murderers to prison to Punta Peuco...

    10. 7.51 you're right being smart doesn't necessarily mean that you're not cowardly, and it doesn't necessarily mean that you are. Don't get me wrong I would of preferred z12 to get shot in the arse running away like lazca did it would of been better if the prick was on a slab

      Delete
    11. 10:15 you're wrong about the Nazis and I disagree with you about staying to fight another day not being cowardice.

    2. You be wrong there is an alliance between the matamoros cdg and other cdg old schoolers and the zeta vieja escuela the talibanes this guy el z 12 are all United against the Trevino faction. It is very well documented in mantas left in tamaulipas cities. You can google it.

  5. If this fucker is one of the founders of the Zetas then perhaps he was just as much of an asshole as Lazcano. It is better that he is under arrest again for he was said in another news site that he was working on reorganizing the Zetas under one flag again. This will only make Chaputos people as well as CJNG bold enough to try and enter the northeast part of Mexico again. Hopefully this does not effect Juarez though. Fuck the Snatcholas!

    4. CDS began all this shit (wars), against CDG in the northeast part of Mexico since around 2006. CDG managed to eliminate CDS from taking over only because the Zetas where helped them. CDS then went against CDJ with the Chapulins help El Azul whom had worked with CDJ and hence was a great asset for the CDS. I really do hope that the Zetas are once agains allied with CDG and that together can keep Shinolas from growing. These assholes (CDS), impose some sort of martial law everywhere they go and keep people suppressed and poor so the bosses can keep getting rich themselves. Fuckin followers in little mountain towns are too ignorant to realize this shit. Also if CDS is stopped from growing perhaps surradas surenas can also calm their shit here in the U.S!

  10. Its amazing his release was hush hush read the find print, and his release around the time Trevino's was arrested, with so many on most wanted list for longer period of time his recapture seems like a deal was cut, possibly released to put some law and order to zeta cartel, before it splinters into 10 differnt organizations and will be more deadly.

    No one still has clarified how Lazcano DNA from his parents that were dug up from cemetary WAS NOT A MATCH to the body that was recovered in Coahuila, thats why Lazcano is STILL on DEA most wanted website Houston ,TX division, thats hush hush too.

    The Mex, & U.S. Goverment with all the Zeta captures surley would offer someone a deal to locate his body, but they know the truth.

    When the U.S Goverment announced Lazcano was dead before the mexican goverment you know a deal was cut, hes probably in Cuba somewhere. The CIA had a plane that crashed in mexico 8 years ago with Sinaloa cocaine on board I believe Zambada jr., when he said he cut a deal with U.S. goverment to move cocaine in return for info. that was not immisable in court i wonder why?

    But it was a registered CIA plane with a sub contracted pilot who admitted. I sometimes winder if theses narco blogs are a front for cia gathering info

    2. Some say Lazcano is in Germany. Lets not forget that Lazcano's family WASN'T poor like most of the zetas background. Lazcano is a Libyan last name and it's know his family has a lot of connections worldwide.

    7. CDN hold a swath of territory from Nuevo Laredo up to Acuna that's completely under their control. People think they are broke but there not. Apart from trafficking tons of drugs(there's a reason Trevinos took over the cartel) they are paid piso. They have STRONG presence in Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, Tamaulipas, SLP, Zacatecas Veracruz, Hidalgo, Tabasco, with WEAK presence in Durango, DF, Guanuajuato, Quinta Roo, Campeche, Yucatan, Puebla, Guerrero, Oaxaca, Jalisco, Nayarit, Sinaloa, Aguascalientes, and probably a few others. Those are the ones I can think of from the top of my head.

      Old School Zs ain't as big as they make it seem. They have presence in Southern Tamaulipas, Southern Nuevo Leon, Zacatecas, and northern SLP. That's where they have confirmed cells operating. The only reason they have any relevance is because of CJNG funding and CDG support. Why has the government been taking down mostly Old School Zs? They don't play by the rules. And because of CJNG is funding them. Right now the government aim is at CJNG. They are the new public enemies. Honestly the only reason the Government hasn't gone full on at CJNG is because of Caro Quintero+friends.
