The Latest Violence in Tabasco
The following is a translation of an article written by Tabasco Hoy
The violence unleashed by cartel groups in Tabasco has left a trail of death in the municipalities of Centro and Cárdenas, now claiming two more victims. So far this year, the fight for control of the plaza has claimed the lives of 157 people, a devastating toll that continues to rise.
According to data collected by Grupo Cantón, the month of April has been especially violent, with 58 people murdered, including the recent cases in Centro and Cárdenas. This period has been the bloodiest seen in the last three years, according to data from the National Public Security System.

Dragged to Death in Cardenas
On a path on the local road known as W59 in C9, the lifeless body of a young man was found. The torture marks evidenced the brutal beating to which he was subjected, presumably to the point of suffocation. In addition to the bruises and abrasions, they revealed that he was dragged several meters over the dirt road.
The victim showed tattoos on his arms and back, which could help the authorities identify him, while curious onlookers claimed that he was originally from the Santana ranch, where last Thursday there was a confrontation with the authorities that left five dead.

The following is a translation of an article by XEVT 104.1 FM

Five trucks, a compact vehicle, four motorcycles, a long weapon, three short weapons and a grenade launcher, a bag with ammunition, a gun holster and two tactical vests were seized at the scene.
In addition, tear gas canisters (“un agente químico CS”), four plastic bags with drugs, a can with tire spikes; two scales; and bottles of gasoline.
The area was cordoned off by the officers, who notified the State Attorney General's Office (FGE ) to carry out a further investigation.
On his official Twitter account, a spokesperson for the state government, Juan Carlos Castillejos Castillejos denied allegations that the five deceased were police officers and stated that five who died were alleged cartel members.
Which Cartel Groups are Doing This?
The following is a translation of an article by Presencia from January 2024
The commander of the 30th Military Zone, Héctor Francisco Morán, has denied that major drug cartels are operating in the state of Tabasco.
He clarified that the criminal acts were being perpetrated by groups that refer to themselves as national cartel groups, such as the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) and the Northeast Cartel (CDN).
“I have always been under the impression that we do not really have cartels here. They are just a group of vandals who stay the same. Before they called themselves “La Barredora”, but later they called themselves Cartel del Noreste when it was no longer convenient for them to be La Barredora. And now they are calling themselves the Jalisco Cartel,” said Morán.
“They operate according to their own interests. They are local criminal groups. We have not seen people from out of state in the arrests we have made so far,” added the commander.
Francisco Morán's statements differ with Army intelligence that was leaked by the Guacamaya hackers. In one of the documents titled “CJNG in Tabasco”, it is stated that a CJNG cell called “La Barredora” operates in Tabasco, whose presence extends to Veracruz and Campeche.
There were also records of another group known as Los Panteras, led by Benjamín Mollinedo Montiel, arrested in September 2021 in Ciudad del Carmen, Campeche.
In a different report leaked by Guacamaya, this one by the Southeast Regional Intelligence Fusion Center (Cerfise) from 2022, it was stated that alleged members of the CJNG were placed within the management of the state police during the administration of Adán Augusto López.

I think the Presencia article at the end highlights an interesting point. Larger cartel groups like CJNG, CDS, and CDN will often franchise local gangs.
ReplyDeleteGuys like Héctor Francisco Morán will say that the local group isn’t “really” a part of the CJNG because the members aren’t from out of state, whereas that SEDENA report did classify the group as being a part of the CJNG.
At what point do you guys think a local gang should be considered a part of a larger organization? When they receive money, weapons, or drugs from the larger group?
Héctor Francisco Morán is a poor reasoner as he's committing a fallacy by implying they must be out of state in order to be part of cjng.
DeleteTo answer your question, I believe that when ever an individual or group, receives any financial or strategic backing, or planning from a large organization, They are, attached to them as a franchise of the larger corporation. Just as a shell company is attached to the main corporate entity, Their association is intertwined to both survival. If it wasn’t for the smaller, offshoot groups, the larger organization wouldn’t be able to implement their wants and desires on the republics and towns, that are further away from their strongholds. Without the financial backing of the larger organization, the smaller groups wouldn’t be able to make advancements or survive.
DeleteThey definitely planted those guns on them
ReplyDeletePeople on Twitter were saying the same thing: https://twitter.com/Informa_GDL/status/1783643897308049707?t=3gnsnAj8z8omkttLAUsZvQ&s=19
DeleteVery much so
DeleteDidn't even hide it with the women, brazen of them
DeleteYeah I was gonna say those guns look planted lol
DeleteLooks like corrupt officials working for a cartel, looks like the planted them guns
ReplyDeleteWhy do you all think they are planted? How should the bodies y guns look if it was a real topon? Explain
ReplyDeleteThey look so peaceful, don't they @06:24. Glad that they left this world with smirks on their souls.
DeleteMan it totally looks like they planted those guns one of them doesn't even have a clip in it it's not even loaded. How is somebody going to attack the police without a loaded weapon I'm just saying it was plainly obvious that these were planted
DeleteOk ok ok
DeleteSo they were planted.
I will put in a request you get a metal at the CSI conference coming up in Cancun Mexico.
Oh hell the Police won this time!

Looks to me like the bodies were staged. By the police?
ReplyDeleteSo your saying the dead people on the ground with bullet holes are fake to?
Delete🤔 I personally don't think they will ever wake up again. One of the ladies looks, like she died in agony.

ReplyDeleteDude in blue was definitely executed at close range , by the looks of the blood splatter.

I was just there helping to find a missing family member. Searching the sugarcane fields. We could trust no one… La fiscalía knows where the safe houses with the kidnapped people are!!! But won’t do anything. En el poblado c-34 están los del huichicol. Pass el poblado towards el escondido are the houses. I have information if you can put it out. I have pictures to prove I was there

El sobaco negro haha
ReplyDeleteTwo head shots to two males, two upper center mass single shots to two females.
ReplyDeleteVery accurate hits in a "gun battle."
Que fácil es plantarle armas a las personas que no hablan 😏🤔
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, these look like extrajudicial killings. If this is in fact the case, my question is, do you prosecute the police for killing known criminals even if they were not guilty of any crime at the time of their execution?
ReplyDeleteFor those doubting the obvious evidence that the bodies were moved, with weapons staged, here you go. I know a few things about this... Just a little. That said, the lack of blood pools and blood spattered foilage, along with similar body resting positions gives this away. When someone is killed holding a weapon, the natural death reflex will generally release their hold on the hand grip, but the weapon itself will stay entangled on the body, usually on clothes or catching on a sling if present. But they stay pretty close, unless deathwas caused by a massive impact. This "crime scene" was absolutely staged. Not saying they were not bad dudes and dudettes, but they were staged up.
