Borderland Beat

Francisco Dair Montalvo Recio, El Rocky, detained in December of 2012 in Nuevo  Laredo, was an key figure in the collapse of Z-40. Ministry sources quoted in an article in Reforma saying Recio Montalvo was  arrested with the 5 million peso payroll for organization members, government  officials and weapons in Nuevo Laredo. Along with El Rocky they also captured Ana Maria Cruz Enriquez, Karen, Cesar Ramirez Vazquez, Calaña , and Joaquin Ramos Hernandez, Cabañas, two  handguns, a charger for a gun, 47 plastic bags containing cocaine, as well as  telephones and computer equipment. "This greatly helped the Marine intelligence actions against Treviño Morales, mainly  regarding the precision of Los Zetas' movements, Z-40 in particular," said the  Ministry source cited by Reforma. As a result, the Marines obtained important information on schedules, routes Z-40  readily used, addresses he frequented, the location of other members, the number  of guards they used as well as the registration numbers of their vehicles. The information El Rocky divulged also included particulars in Coahuila, where  many Z-40 operatives used to live. Following the leads provided, the Marines also managed to find the address where  Los Zetas kept captured migrants. Last March, using a Black Hawk helicopter, Marines came upon a safe house  where they found 104 migrants (91 men and 13 women) from Honduras  and El Salvador, who had been ordered kidnapped apparently by people  under the command of Trevino Morales.
