Leaks From National Guard Database Expose Gulf Cartel Kingpins

"Morogris" for Borderland Beat (formerly "MX")
Map of the state of Tamaulipas above; Four drug kingpins from the Gulf Cartel were exposed over the Internet earlier this week when someone within the National Guard leaked their information. Below is the breakdown of each of these figures.

Citizen journalists in Tamaulipas published several leaks from a National Guard (GN) database that include sensitive information about multiple fugitive Gulf Cartel kingpins.

The information released includes pictures, full names, addresses, family trees, DOBs and POBs, work and/or criminal history, and other general information about them. Some of these criminals are only wanted by federal authorities while others are fugitives at both state and federal level.

To comply with our privacy guidelines, Borderland Beat omitted the exact addresses of these suspected drug kingpins. We removed the streets and house numbers but kept the city and state. We have also removed the names of the suspects' children as many of them are minors.

Cesar Morfin Morfin, alias "El Primito"

This first display shows the information about El Primito, the Gulf Cartel plaza boss in La Frontera Chica (also known as La Ribereña), a border region along Tamaulipas. The municipalities of Guerrero, Mier, Miguel Aleman, Camargo and Diaz Ordaz make up La Frontera Chica.

According to the data presented, El Primito was born in 1987 in Colima, Colima, Mexico, and does not have previous criminal history.

The GN confirms that El Primito has up to 10 known addresses under his name.

  1. I thought Primito was born in Jalisco? Even has a corrido by tucanes where the opening line says so. Weird

    1. yes, rumors say he's been with the CJNG for a while. BB has talked about it in some of the Frontera Chica posts. the houses he has in Jalisco ar revealing...

    2. I figured, now i also wonder if he is connected to the morfins in teca, a long time ago they got hunted down in teca, dont think it was because of the drugs but more of a personal beef, maybe thats when they fled to colima and thats where he was born, he is my age and that happened before i was born so it could of happened, how in the fuck did he ended up north in tamaulipas and a boss?

    3. @6:05 if I'm not mistaken his name started to be mentioned when the CDG ZETAS went to war in 2010ish and LFM sent a lot of sicarios to reinforce CDG. Unless the Zetas mantas were referring to Bartolo aka "El Primo" than that's around the time que se empezó hacer famoso. As I previously mentioned, Michoacán traffickers have been using Tamaulipas as a crossing point for some decades as they have also been a source of supply to the CDG traffickers and why they allied themselves with M3.

      I think he wanted to cross the river and live the American dream. But decided to work for CDG.

    5. Cjng in guerrero had 2 comandantes that where close to the guys from la ribereña that's where the cjng rumor comes there's a plaza boss name el americano in guerrero working for cjng but once worked with the cdg in camargo as a sicario & another guy name chico jaramillo also cjng who's compadre with leno a cdg boss in camargo but I guess all that came to an end when leno was staying in his hometown in guerrero and was having loud party's, shooting into the sky and intimidating the people of the town el americano (cjng) didn't like that so there was problems between them & then chico jaramillo step in to stop the beef and they decided to meet and when they met shit got heated and a shootout broke out and leno's younger brother died & GN was called and the chico jaramillo guy was injured from the shooting and he got arrested

      Delete
    6. The americano guy worked for m103 if I'm not mistaking & in his songs he shoutouts camargo alot he has songs by lirik dog a reynosa rapper now he's cleaning plazas for cjng en guerrero & chico jaramillo is more of a drug trafficker and compadre with leno I'm sure he was using the frontera chica to smuggle drugs. El jardinero is also familiar with tamaulipas in his songs he mentions how he started off in tamaulipas el 010 idk if he's the same guy but he also mentions when he started working in tamaulipas I'm sure alot of cjng guys are familiar with tamaulipas or have connections with people over here

    1. Of course it is! Their biggest expense are bribes. That's why government officials dont want organized crime to disappear.

      You know what a politician or DA or judge or military/police commander in Mexico has as official salary?

      Bribes will up that salary X10 at least.

    2. That's why I see suitcases coming in through courthouses in Mexico.
      Not that some one is moving in, they are full of money. Talk about the justice system at work.

    3. By now, the cartels do not give tips or kickbacks to anybody, governors and judges and cuicos own the whole shebangs, cartels have to make doo with the table scraps and left overs they steal from the colleagues they whack.

  4. Though primito was from michocan or Jalisco?

    Was el Tango 1 was under el karis years ago ?

    The GN didn’t give any information on the Matamoros faction?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I wish they had given info on Matamoros, but they didn't. I also thought Primito was from Jalisco, and I'm not sure about Tango 1 and Karis. From my understanding the Tangos faction was originally under Víctor Manuel Vázquez Mireles AKA Meme Loco.

      Delete
    2. Tango 1 era gente de Tomas Sauceda Tango 80, hermado de Gregorio Sauceda Metro 2 y/o Don Goyo.

      Y los Tangos estaban bajo las ordenes de Tormenta.

      Primito es de Jalisco y desde hace mucho cuando Juanito Carrizales M98 estaba en guerra con Treviños y Matamoros el ya tenia nexos con CJNG, puesto que R1 los enlazó y los sigue enlazando, irónicamente quie lidera a gran parte de los Metros es justamente R1, claro tras bambalinas

    3. Mx in teca theres a lot of morfines, pihuamo is like a 40 minutes drive and colima is like another 30 minutes so most likely his family is from jalisco and he was born in colima

    4. Toon world - de cual R1 hablas ? Juan Mejía o estos weyes de Tampico?

      Delete
    5. Toon_World: Great insight as always. So was Tango 80 the head of the Tangos? I have Karím Sauceda Gamboa AKA Tangos 64 under Memeloco.

      I have a theory that Memeloco was way more important than what he’s given credit. He was around since before the 1999 standoff with US agents and Osiel always had his back. A guy with no police or military experience yet extremely trusted by Osiel. I was told they were childhood friends and worked in the same mechanic shop.

    7. Había otro que según era Pedro que no era Sauceda, recuerdan las gruas GOPE.

      Si R1 Juan Reyes Mejía, aunque todos lo dan por muerto Hamburguesa, Choco y otros Metros de peso lo protegieron cuando lo de Samuel.

      Memeloco sabia ser bandido y siempre tuvo gente muy leal, el problemas del Cartel de Osiel siempre fue Don Goyo, Coss y Tormenta no se llevaban bien, se caían mal entre ellos, por eso Lazcano se apoderó de la Compañia porque de los 3 no se hacía un lider.

      Cuando el pleito en 2010 les salieron huevos pero porque no les quedaba de otra, puro pendejo que no supo mantener el Cartel y trataron de correr y hacer multiples alianzas para mantenerse pero no les funcionó, salieron mas cabrones los Jefes de las facciones que poco a poco han limado asperezas y forjar pactos de no agresión o bien alianzas de beneficio mutuo, pero nunca falta el pendejo que sale a gritar a los 4 vientos: Mi apa el Metro 3 y traigo su escuela
      Pinche escuela pedorra que ni se defendió cuando lo cacheteo la Ardilla, chingon el Contador que teniendo todo en su contra hasta su familia le sale al toro y se planta macizo.
      De los Metros pues el Toro fue el ultimo lider que tenia a todos en cintura, no habra otro lider así.

      Y bueno la Facción del Sur siemore ha sido muy ordenada y también los ZVE.

      Solo los Norestes estan mal guiados y no agarran linea.

      Delete
    8. Toon_World - Que significa agarrar linea? Estar en paz? Es que esos vatos son bien agresivos.

      Si se la llevaran tranquilo Nuevo Laredo seria como en los viejos tiempos.

    9. @Toon_World que no JRM/R1 es el mentado Rey de Reyes que se alineó con JJEM después de que le achacaron lo del M3?

      Delete
    10. @6:08 el apellido Morfín es muy regional de esa parte del sur, todos los que yo conozco son de Michoacán

      Delete
    11. Google translation of @Toon_World (discord is hard to follow, but insightful none the less):

      There was another that according to Pedro was not Sauceda, remember the GOPE cranes.

      Yes R1 Juan Reyes Mejía, although everyone considers him dead, Hamburger, Choco and other Metros de peso protected him when Samuel happened.

      Memeloco knew how to be a bandit and always had very loyal people, the problems of the Osiel Cartel were always Don Goyo, Coss and Tormenta did not get along, they liked each other, that is why Lazcano took over the Company because of the 3 they did not know made a leader.

      When the lawsuit in 2010 they got eggs but because they had no other choice, pure asshole who did not know how to maintain the Cartel and tried to run and make multiple alliances to maintain themselves but it did not work for them, the Heads of the factions came out more bastards than little by little. Little have they smoothed out rough edges and forged non-aggression pacts or alliances of mutual benefit, but the asshole who goes out to shout from the 4 winds never fails: My apa the Metro 3 and I bring his school
      Fucking farting school that didn't even defend itself when the Squirrel slapped it, the Accountant, having everything against him, even his family, goes out to the bull and stands solid.
      Of the Metros because the Bull was the last leader who had everyone in his waist, there will be no other leader like that.

      Well, the Southern Faction has always been very orderly and so have the ZVE.

      Only the Northeast are misguided and do not take a line.

  5. My guess is that the green-shaded municipios in the southern Tamaulipas map are ZVE territory. Guemez and Padilla were run by El Arqui who had ties to police and politicos in Cd Victoria. I wonder who the orange territory is run by, because Absolo and Soto La Marina used to be under the control of the CDG-Tampico faction.
