Interview ex member of CDG:

First of all, how much time have you been working for this organization (CDG)?

-More than 6 years

What was the cause of the internal war of CDG?

-The primary cause was the death of M3 

Was it ordered to killed M3 or what happened? Why all of a sudden rojos  vs metros?

-The situation is as follows: CDG had a pact with CDS, Costilla was who managed to pact with el Chapo, they had in mind join CDG & CDS; however a fraction of CDG did not agreed which was the group of the metros commanded by M3 at that time, denying to cooperate, his death is ordered (M3’s death), the metros and Mario Pelon (X20) take the situation personal and it is when the internal war begins in CDG.

The reds are conformed by : Kalimanes (people of Commander Sierra), the Alacranes (People of Costilla), Group XW (commanded by Commander Wicho until his capture, now they are under orders if XW-2), R’s commanded by R1, the X’s commanded by Coss, the ciclones (cyclones) loyal to the Cardenas until the capture of the nephews of Osiel, now they are part of the XW; this group operates with CDS, they joined them so that CDS control all Tamaulipas leaving out CDG, now the metros.

The metros: Commanded by X20 (Mario Pelon) and Metro 4 (Negro, suspect to be brother of M3). The group is formed by Metros and Deltas. Deltas are located in Baladezes and the Metros from Diaz Ordaz to Rio Bravo.

What will be the fate of CDG and CDS?

-Very simple, CDS will domain Tamaulipas and CDG will disappear from the map of the traffic of drug. [Chivis: many of us stated this from the beginning-why doesn't CDG see this?]

What was the strength in CDG?

-The union and the line of Commanders

The Commander, How does that work?

-Very simple, you have a leader and he assigns the commanders in charge of each region or plaza (high rank), these commanders are in charge of recruiting people and create their group and in that group, there is another line of commanders in charge of the following.

Commander of body guards: Its task is to organize all the people that is used for war and for protection to the chief.

Commander of Sector: He is in charge of watch over the assigned colonies

Commander of guards: its task is to distribute the haws or guards around the city to give location of elements of the army, marine, federal police and also is in charge of watching that rivals don’t enter the city. Generally, at the entrances of every city, there are two watching over.

Bookkeeper: Is in charge of handling the numbers, meaning that he handles the account statement of the expenses in matters of finance and drug

With these elements, you could handle a cartel very well and in Mexico just 1 cartel uses this very good method and that is the Sinaloa Cartel, the Guld Cartel used it until a few months ago, 6 months to be exact.

Why is it said that Reynosa and Matamoros is the cradle of CDG?

-Very simple, there is where the drug is crossed (to US)

Why in those sectors, why not in Rio Bravo or any other part?

-Very good question, the reason is the following; in other cities it is very difficult to cross the drug since many towns are very simple which allow the army to identify us.

To finish this interview, what should we await for in the next months regarding insecurity?

-Well, a lot, I would say, since CDS is fighting strong here in Tamaulipas and the violence is going to increase when CDS and CDG confront each other.
