Zetas Leader Z-42 Worried About Extradition to US; Judge Grants Him Motion to Prevent a Prison Transfer

"MX" for Borderland Beat
Omar Treviño Morales ("Z-42")
A Mexican federal judge granted a motion to Zetas leader Óscar Omar Treviño Morales ("Z-42") that prevents him from being transferred to a different federal prison from the one he is currently in. This motion was also extended to high-ranking Zetas member Miguel Ángel Rodríguez Díaz.

Z-42 is currently behind bars in the Federal Social Readaptation Center No. 1 (also known as Altiplano), a maximum-security prison in the State of Mexico. The judge who granted the motion was Víctor Octavio Luna Escobedo.

Z-42 is worried about a possible "removal" (extradition) from Mexico. His defense argued that a prison transfer is usually a first step in removing an inmate from the country, and they told the judge to grant him a motion that prevents a prison transfer since there is no official order to remove Z-42 from Mexico. In the U.S., Z-42 is wanted along with his brother Miguel Treviño Morales ("Z-40") for drug trafficking and money laundering.

When his brother Z-40 was captured in 2013, Z-42 took control of Los Zetas up until his arrested in 2015. In July 2019, Z-42 was sentenced by a Mexican federal court to 18 years in prison for illegal possession of firearms and money laundering.

Z-42 taken into custody in 2015
He has other pending charges in Mexico. He is also under trial for the disappearance of 34 people in Nuevo Laredo in June 2005. He is also linked to the 2011 Monterrey arson where 52 people were killed and the clandestine mass graves found in San Fernando, Tamaulipas, that same year, where at least 193 people were killed. Authorities stated that he was widely regarded as a ruthless and violent criminal boss when he was active. If found guilty of these charges, Z-42 could face more prison time in Mexico.

As explained by Borderland Beat earlier this month, Mexican nationals with outstanding charges in Mexico cannot be extradited to the U.S. per Article 15 of the Extradition Treaty between Mexico and the U.S. Z-42 pending charges would have to be dropped or he would have to be convicted of them first before the Mexican government can approve his extradition.

    1. Little chaps wanted all the glory and fame of a movie star and ultimately put the nail through his own coffin making himself a household name. Upside to him losing trial is he has the opportunity to file an appeal maybe his defense will much better than claiming to be a poor farmer working for mayo next time around.

      EXACTLY!!

    3. 9:34 el Chapo was wanted on the US to silence him, his partners do not want him talking, not everybody can be extorted and silenced on the US with a movie like American Made...
      The Zetas have nothing to damage anybody of importance right now, but there is Florida and Arizona and other States, bastions of integrity and corruption fighting for their reputation and their money.

    Thing are messed up in Mexico.

  9. Can’t wait till they both get on a US prison for life. Apparently they aren’t that tough like they say. Cowards

  10. hang both brothers in their cells.pieces of worthless shit acting like cowards now. But not when they were making soup of their victims and butchering and massacring them at will and no remorse. He stays in Mexico he lives like a king in prison. He is extradited and is found guilty he will die in ADX mentally disturbed and hallucinating. LOL

  11. X2 for the death penalty. ALL of them are murderers.
    The way it is now, people join gangs with the idea of nothing to lose. Ending up in prison keeps them alive longer than staying on the streets.

    1. 4:09 mexican drug trafficking capos have "insurance", their partners in high places in government do not want anything bad to happen to them.
      If you will remember, American Capo and Russian Gangster Rudi Giuliani also claimed to have insurance that would preventh8is incarceration on the US, and it worked..

  12. I don't really get what happens in the long run with Z40 and Z42 then. Do they just stay in Mexico indefinitely because of these amparos? For their 5 years sentences or whatever capos end up actually serving?

    1. According to Article 15 of the Extradition Treaty between Mexico and the U.S., the Mexican government will not extradite a Mexican national unless multiple conditions are met. Among them include:

      (1) - a Mexican national cannot be extradited if he/she is facing trial or has outstanding charges in Mexico.

      (2) - a Mexican national can be extradited once he/she is sentenced or absolved.

      (3) - if the Mexican national is serving a sentence in Mexico, he/she can only be extradited to the U.S. on other charges (thus avoiding double jeopardy).

      Once the condition(s) are met, it's essentially free game and up to the judge and/or lawyers to keep him or send him.

    2. @MX: The conditions sound like escape valves on a boiler. Ah, lawyers and politicians...they are soooo smart to write laws to protect Mexicans from those nasty gringos.

    3. So technically Chapo didnt qualify to be extradited???

      Delete
    4. MX...as we discovered in cases such as chapo and mochomo, MX can circumvent these conditions by signing a waiver. In fact Alfredo's appeal points to this being abused in his case. Chapo attempted to do same before his trial....

  13. Extradite him to US so we can put him in same cell as Chapo

    3. I regret to inform you that the request has been denied. Chapos cell has only one bed, not a bunk bed. Furthermore, it would not be feasible to put two in the cell, as we are in a covid19 pandemic,
      but do have a good day, please practice safe distance.

    4. I regret to inform of the high risk that poses these inmates of they will want to make out with one another if they make close proximity jajajajaja

  14. Z42 ends of in the US he will end up like his brother Jose. 20+ years in prison. The american's will make you do hard time. By the time Jose Trevino Morales is out he will be 70+ years old. What a waste of your life.

  15. Anyone think z40 and his brother are still operating from jail? I wonder if they get special privileges

    1. You don't get into the leadership of an organization like Los zetas unless you're a straight-up psychopath. He was just overshadowed by his brother, but he was just as ruthless and just as violent
