The Special Prosecutor's Office for Organized Crime (FEMDO), in coordination with the Federal Prosecutor's Office in the state of Tamaulipas, obtained from the Second District Court for Federal Criminal Proceedings a conviction against 11 members of the Los Zetas Cartel for their responsibility in the crime of aggravated homicide committed against 122 migrants who were murdered in the municipality of San Fernando, Tamaulipas.

According to information from the Federal Judicial Power, the convicted were identified as Luis Manuel Salazar Sánchez, El Gordo Flow; Sergio Córdova Martínez, El Diablo; Samuel Moreno Saavedra, El Chiquilín; Erick Rubén Zetina Hernández, El Guacho; José Mauro Oñate Rodríguez, El Vegueta; Jhonny Torres Andrade, El Sombra; Juan Pablo Cabrera Escalante, El Cacharpas; Salvador Alfonso Martínez Escobedo, La Ardilla; Martín Omar Estrada de la Mora, El Kilo; Víctor Cuitláhuac Montoya Torres, El Comandante Degollado; and Elfego Cruz Martínez.

According to the records of the Attorney General's Office (FGR), in April 2012, the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office initiated an investigation against members of a criminal group for allegedly being responsible for the crime of aggravated homicide against 122 people, as the authority identified that they were responsible for getting off passenger transports in the municipality of San Fernando.

Subsequently, the bodies of the victims were found in several clandestine graves.

The accusations against this group of members of Los Zetas were made in 2015 and 2017.

The judge in the case ordered 50 years in prison for each of them.

Members of Los Zetas carried out two massacres of migrants, the first in 2010, when 72 victims were discovered, and in 2011 dozens of bodies were found buried in clandestine graves, bringing the total to 177, of which 122 cases remained under investigation by the FGR.
