Dispute between factions of the Cartel del Golfo is causing the violence in Reynosa

Translated by Otis B Fly-Wheel for Borderland Beat from a Proceso article

Subject Matter: Fight for Reynosa plaza after death of El Toro
Recommendation: No prior subject matter knowledge required

After events of this past Wednesday, Reynosa has transformed into a ghost town. Businesses are closing earlier than usual, the central avenues are desolated and there are very few vehicles circulating in the streets at night.


Reporter: Juan Alberto Cedillo
The social networks have shared dozens of advice notices about the arrival in Matamoros of Los Ciclones, and other groups arriving like Los Antrax and Los Mazatlecos from Sinaloa, because they are disputing the plaza ownership.

Also circulating on social networks are communications of the Cartel del Golfo in audio format urging the population that during the night they should stay in their homes, because there will be more confrontations.

The hysteria generated by the social networks terminated by the collapse of whatsap, the system of messages most used in actuality by these groups to advertise situations of risk.




The Attorney General of Tamaulipas, Irving Barrios Mojica, confirmed that the violence of Tuesday night that followed was provoked by two factions of CDG who are contesting the plaza after the death of Commandante Torro by the Marines on 22nd of April past.

The information that we have is that which is in public domain and social networks, that there are criminal groups in the City of Reynosa and it because of them we have these violent events. In two violent days, there has been reports of no less than five deaths.

In social networks there is a video circulating where one can see alleged gunmen of one faction of the Cartel del Golfo assaulting a house belonging to a rival group.


The dispute for the plaza

Information from the portal Briebart Texas, specializing in the frontier security, said there are two factions of the CdG disputing the frontier plaza.

"The battles indicate a fight for control of Reynosa composed by the rest of the forces that were led by Commandante Toro or Metro 42, against the rest of the cartel.

Briebart, who have good contacts with Mexican police sources and United States intelligence agencies, have described the two factions of the CdG that are disputing Reynosa.

"One faction is formed by the nephew of Toro, Alberto Betillo Salinas, who has requested the support of other commanders in the cartel  like Luis Alberto Blanco Flores, Pelochas or M-28, Petronilo Moreno Flores, Commandante Panilo or M-70, and gunmen known as Metro 19, Metro 105 and Manuelito.

During the night battles of Tuesday and the morning of Wednesday, the gunmen of this faction were deployed in caravans of vans with the signs M-42 painted on the windows.

"The letters M-42 are identifying the gunmen of one faction, but all refer to their fallen leader Commandante Toro.

The other faction that is disputing the plaza, which is worth more than 3 million dollars per month, is headed by Commandantes Jesus Guero Jessi Garcia, who was a collaborator of Commandante Toro previously.



As well as Commandantes Armando Leon Garcia, Choco or M-90, Eduardo Ismael Flores Borrego, El Negro or Gamma 3, Miguel Angel Miguelito Alvarez Campos, as well as gunmen Visco, Surdo, and Beto Bavas, detailed the public notification by Breibart.

The dispute between these factions for the throne commenced from 22:00 on Tuesday, when one of the factions decided to visit houses and kidnap family members of a rival group.



With guerrilla war strategies, the group commenced with narco blockades in zones that they control, as well as engaging the military in diverse points of the city.

The sound of AK47 gunfire was reported all over the city, so that the Army and Marines had no idea where to concentrate their forces.

While the military were confused, one of the rival groups assaulted various houses, and kidnapped families inside them while some were assassinated. In one case, grenade launchers set the house ablaze.

These events carried on into Wednesday morning, when the attacked group, regrouped and went on the offensives starting chases and confrontations in diverse avenues of Reynosa.

The Group for Coordination in Tamaulipas informed that between the hours of 23:00 of Tuesday and until 02:00 Wednesday there had been reports of 10 narco blockades that were removed by armed forces, as well as vehicle robberies and confrontations with the military on the part of various individuals that were aboard various vehicles.

As well as the decommission of nine vehicles, rifles and a large quantity of ammunition, in the course of their labours or reconnaissance and patrolling by elements of the various corporations.

The authorities informed that two alleged criminals were killed by shots from the military, when they were carrying out vehicle robberies from citizens to use them in narco blockades.

Following on from the violence of Wednesday, private schools and the majority of public schools were closed for classes on Thursday.

The confrontations have no subsided and the city has returned to its normal activities.

Por eso CJNG quiere parte del queso que los Golfos y Zetas tienen. El Mayo tiene trado con los del Golfo para pasar por Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon, Zacatecas y coahuila y el CDG puede pasar por Sonora, Chihuahua o por La Baja por eso CDG tiene gende in Jalisco. Si no sabes nada mejor callese.

    7. Colombia has 7 US military bases, and a few secret ones, plus ilopango, and guatemala, panama, cile, Argentina and brazil. And the Atlantic and pacific floats, they back in business, and never went away, Who the hell needs "great mexican drug trafficking capos"?
      No wonder the black and mexican drug trafficking gang bangers are being slighted too, the cops are riding high too, and they know the business inside and out now, or so they believe.

    8. Nogales is a fucking nickel thats why sinaloa always wanted better border plazas. Fyi the main cdg plazas lead directly to texas a big ass state with big ass cities that are the perfect drug hubs. What the fuck nogales has.Tamaulipas plazas are worth millions of usa dollars.drugs flow north and wepons ammo and ,american dollars come back in. That's why all them other cartels. always want to come in. And why some cell leaders say fuck it im try to take it over and go to war with other cell leaders.

  8. Can see why many infighting groups would love to get that plaza. The profits are lucrative enough for even Trump to get involved with. 3 million per month. Sarcasm ! Not to offend anyone.

  9. Thank you Otis! Your posts are refreshing to read on BB!

  10. One thing is clearly evident. The killing of Toro rattled the cage within the cartel bosses. Infighting always seems to arise within the organization. Creating a positive impact for a disorganized organization.
    Divide and conquer tactics are effective.
    However I will say that the strategic planning and operations of the cartel to bewilder military intervention are cunning. Then again such strategic training and manuevers were inserted
    from a paramilitary perspective.
    Question is how long will this impact the organization from conducting normal operations?

    1. I would think these are normal operations for Cartels. Selling drugs, killing for various reasons, and trying not to get caught

    3. Matamoros CDG leaders C1 & R1 are just like M3 & Osiel was to his people. Both C1 & R1 are loyal & respectful to their 35 "Sicarios" he follows the codes El Sr. Osiel had. El coss & Toro screw Reynosa up big time. El Coss killed M3 & blame R1 & started the War with the Cardenas & all of Matamoros & after all that mess Reynosa hasn't been the same. C1 & R1 are pretty much the real hope CDG needs to be stable ones again.

    4. 1:28 There is stuff that shouldn't be out there but yes it true. El coss took full advantage of the situation M3 & R1 was in. They where both arguing for a part of Reynosa & that's when coss seen the open window & went in. El toro was just a 35"Sicario".

    4. There's a lot more than 3million a month in a frontera like Reynosa. I think that amount is low I know people who are small fish in a pond who move hundreds of thousands worth in product per week.They work independently, they pay the plaza boss couta per kilo. The plaza boss moves his product, charges all the other dealers to move through his city, including the stolen combustible sales which prolly make 1or2 mill by itself and all the local drug stores plus human trafficking which is huge in the rio grand valley.
