Treasury Expands Sanctions Against
the Los Zetas Drug Cartel
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department
of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) today designated
Juanita del Carmen Rios Hernandez and her medical supply company Distribuidora
e Importadora de Productos Medicos del Norte as specially designated narcotics
traffickers pursuant to the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act (Kingpin
Act).
Juanita del Carmen Rios Hernandez is the
spouse of Mexican drug lord Miguel Angel Trevino Morales, a leader of Los Zetas
drug cartel, who is jailed in Mexico and faces multiple federal indictments in
the United States for narcotics and money laundering violations. Prior to his arrest, Miguel Trevino Morales,
along with his brother, Omar Trevino Morales, directed the vast drug
trafficking activities of Los Zetas, one of Mexico’s most violent and powerful drug
trafficking organizations.
Juanita del Carmen Rios Hernandez
owns and operates Distribuidora e Importadora de Productos Medicos del Norte, a
company involved in the importation, distribution, and sale, of medical
supplies in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico.
Juanita del Carmen Rios Hernandez incorporated this company in 2009 and is
its principal shareholder.
Today’s action, pursuant to the
Kingpin Act, prohibits U.S. persons from conducting financial or commercial
transactions with Juanita del Carmen Rios Hernandez or her company, and freezes
any assets she or her company may have under U.S. jurisdiction.
“OFAC will be relentless in
sanctioning Los Zetas’ leadership and associates to weaken and ultimately
collapse the financial infrastructure of this ruthless cartel,” said OFAC
Director Adam J. Szubin. “This action builds
on the consistent efforts of Treasury and our U.S. and Mexican law enforcement
partners to target those operating on behalf of Los Zetas.”
The President identified Los
Zetas as a significant foreign narcotics trafficker pursuant to the Kingpin Act
in April 2009. On July 24, 2011, the President
named Los Zetas a significant Transnational Criminal Organization in the Annex
to Executive Order 13581 (Blocking Property of Transnational Criminal
Organizations).
OFAC designated Los Zetas leaders
Miguel and Omar Trevino Morales on July 20, 2009, and March 24, 2010,
respectively. On July 15, 2013, Mexican
authorities arrested Miguel Trevino Morales.
Today’s action was undertaken with the support of the Government of
Mexico.
Los Zetas distribute narcotics
and launder tens of millions of dollars in illicit proceeds from international
drug sales. Today’s action is OFAC’s
fifth designation in a string of actions since last year aimed at Los Zetas
leadership. In 2013, Treasury
aggressively targeted Los Zetas with four separate designation actions.
On August 1, 2013, Treasury designated Carolina Fernandez Gonzalez, wife of Zeta boss Omar Trevino Morales, her father, Jesus Fernandez de Luna, and his cattle sales company, Compania Ganadera 5 Manantiales.
On August 1, 2013, Treasury designated Carolina Fernandez Gonzalez, wife of Zeta boss Omar Trevino Morales, her father, Jesus Fernandez de Luna, and his cattle sales company, Compania Ganadera 5 Manantiales.
Omar Trevino Morales established
this company for his wife and her father-in-law as a money laundering front to
be used by Los Zetas. Through this and
other actions, Treasury exposed various aspects of Los Zetas activities,
including its bulk cash and drug smuggling operations, its international financial
operations, and the businesses used by Los Zetas leaders to launder their
illicitly gained funds.
Earlier, in 2012, OFAC designated Francisco Colorado Cessa
(left)and his oil services company, ADT Petroservici os, for laundering Los Zetas drug
proceeds through the purchase of valuable quarter horses for Miguel Trevino
Morales and Omar Trevino Morales.
These designations were made in
coordination with money laundering charges filed against Colorado Cessa and
others in the Western District Court of Texas, Austin Division. In 2013, Colorado Cessa was convicted and
sentenced to a 20-year prison term.
Internationally, OFAC has
designated more than 1,300 individuals and entities linked to 103 drug kingpins
since June 2000. OFAC designations are
part of an ongoing effort to apply financial measures against significant
foreign narcotics traffickers and their organizations worldwide. Penalties for violations of the Kingpin Act
range from civil penalties of up to $1.075 million per violation to more severe
criminal penalties.
Criminal penalties for corporate
officers may include up to 30 years in prison and fines up to $5 million. Criminal fines for corporations may reach $10
million. Other individuals face up to 10
years in prison and fines pursuant to Title 18 of the United States Code for
criminal violations of the Kingpin Act.
Cant dodge the I.R.S! I know for sure first hand.if they want it they WILL get theirs you best believe that!
ReplyDeleteWho is leading Los zetas now? Or are they finished?
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure Z42 is the current leader.
DeleteThey're close to done at this point
DeleteYou guys forget there's still some of the original memebers that have always kept a low profile. Don't underestimate Z-10, Hummer and Z-2. Not to mention el vera, chuta, el erotico they're still out there.
DeleteI don't understand how a guy who's on the run can have a wife who's not on the run. Would Z40's role in this pseudo-marriage just be the source of money from afar? It's scary to realize that people like this in Mexico have literally dozens of children, who almost unanimously carry on their parents' work.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if she's found another husband yet...
I wonder how come nobody cuts her head off
DeleteHis wife looks like caca
ReplyDeleteStfu she ain't that bad.... I've slayed worse gargoyles in my day
Delete@5:30 that just means you have some pretty low standards. Haha
DeleteJuanita del Carmen Rios Hernandez you've been FnKD act. The hits keep on coming for the butcher of N. Laredo, N.L., and Coahuila to name just a few places. It's safe to say that Z 40's reign of terror is over.
ReplyDeleteLOL just the phrase "the wife of Z40" is absurd and hilarious. In Mexico the word 'wife' is almost synonymous with 'woman' and of COURSE this guy has a wife, of COURSE there's a woman who wanted a piece of his blood money, of COURSE this child murderer with his antisocial sadistic personality disorder is no exception, of COURSE Z40 has a wife. And of course she's neck-deep in money laundering.
ReplyDeleteJesus Christ imagine being married to Zeta 40. Hell to the no!
ReplyDeleteWhenever zorra-40 enters the US I'll b happy mugroza apeztoza
ReplyDeleteShit, I see it, now, da motha fucka!
ReplyDeleteWas terrorrizin, hurting and killin,
And his biatch, was suplying, the medications, for half of mexico, one two punch bissnez, im pretty sure, he was getting a cut from the morgues, and cementerys, from keep them busy.
PINCHI INGENDRO DEL DIABLO!
Death and Taxes...and on Valentines Day. Any who, there is a business directory from Nuevo León and this so called business is located at Colonia Mitras Centro. No website is available, only gives a phone number. But when you google the address and hit the satellite mode you can see the house. So I'm guessing that's where the significant other lives:
ReplyDeleteDirección
CALLE TEXCOCO #119, COLONIA MITRAS CENTRO, MONTERREY, MONTERREY NUEVO LEON, MÉXICO , CP 64460
12:10 am. Ditto. Anyone else think...ironic she owned a medical supply company??? Yes they did supply tons of "medical supplies" worldwide. Evil. Peace. Texas Grandma.
ReplyDeleteThe third person that dosent show up his pic that is from Monterrey is Two Borders lol
ReplyDelete7:18
ReplyDeletethere are a couple of fotos running of the business but both are not the exact address...google even states apx.
That said, his wife, and she is his wife, lives, or lived right outside Nuevo Laredo.
His wife has been with him since they were young when he washed cars she is just a slave that has been beat abused etc he has several women or had mexican women get abused by this guys bad its sad but he will pay for his sins he thought he was a hard ass and as soon as he got caught up he didn't fire one bullet just bent over and said please don't kill here i am i don't understand where's thier huevos like the real ones that at least die in a shoot out i have no respect for cowards that hide behind money z42 is d leader of those cowards now but he is just hiding out with his fear where can't sleep eat etc now that d devil used him he has him realizing how bad he screwed up man i wish mexico woukd go back to when ppl woyld respect human life over money !!!
ReplyDeleteWhen did they ever respect human life over money???
Delete10:14 to better understand how" people like this" could be prevented from having children like themselves, it would be necessary to go back to at least the parents of z40, do you think they were big murdering criminals that trafficked drugs in their spare time from their luxurious mansions?
ReplyDeleteto help your quest on preventing people "like this" from reproducing,check and google:
-- plans de-populate the world.
-- birth control, the pros and cons.
--genocide as a tool of birth control.
--who uses the world's organizations to conquer colonies, land and slaves.
almost any question about anyting has been answered on the internet by now, there are very few questions that still need to be formulated, and as wiser men have said, the question is in itself 90% of the answer, and i don't believe for a minute that picking on the poor is a solution, that has been tried before everywhere in the world, and things just got worse, maybe exterminating the richest of the rich as an experiment, every once in a while is a solution worth trying right now.
the owners of the world do not have their money in the bank, they are for the most part invested on properties around the world, or owed by the world, and disowning the national debt and payments of interest would put things in the proper perspective, to start again getting in debt trough corruption of the public servants and abuse of the poor...
They have their gold,diamonds,and others,art,platinium,rare coins in private vaults.you are very wrong on most of your internet opinions.
Delete@2:44 p.m wrong! If the I.R.S finds it they WILL take it! They take property and anything valuable till you are either bled dry or your debt is satisfied! Nothing is sacred to those ppl in the I.R.S!
Delete@9:55 This is interesting info. How do you know about Z40's relationship history? How do you know he abused his wife etc?
ReplyDelete@12:10
ReplyDeleteYour comment is interesting that wife is synonym with woman. Is that bad thing? I am from Guadalajara, I am woman, and (I assume you are from US) I was married to wealthy husband when I was 18, he 30. We separate last year after 8 year of marriage, because I change with age, but for those 8 year I bring my family much honor happiness and children. Was worth it? I will say yes because had I wait until now no man would want woman so old. I bring my family much honor, so how else could I succeed?
If you are from US, would it not bring family honor if you get well pay job when 18? You must understand role of woman in latin society. It is duty to marry man and be good wife in same way is your duty to find job with high pay. Wife of z40, what alternative she has? To say no to marriage proposition and spend life no husband? She wife have brought honor to her family. Now the world know she must be high beauty to meet husband who can provide so wealthy and honor.
Mija, estas pero bien pendeja. "Honor to family?". No sabes ni lo que dices, tienes alguna education? Sabes ingles mas o menos mero estas bien pendeja.
DeleteYou are a mercenary.what about the bible who says "a virtuous woman ,whose value is above rubies,who can find one?your marrage failed because you put money above love.like your husband.a succesful marrage is like a rope made with three cords.1,God,#2husband,#3wife.
DeleteShe isn't a billionaire u fuckn idiot. She prob. Has few million stashed away but def. not a billionaire. I don't think u realize how much a billion is. 1 million x 1000
ReplyDeleteGood. Mexico is too weak and full of big mouth cowards to do the same.
ReplyDelete12:00, you sound like a stupid ass bimbo. What's so damn important about all this money and "getting honor" for the whole family? How sad with such a shallow mind and lack of individuality. I'd never get a woman who percieved me in that way.
ReplyDeleteWhere is the honor in marrying a murderer, un diablo?
ReplyDeleteEl dinero no puede comprar honor.
Bienes respeto se gana no se compran
@2:51 p.m yes she will give a fuck if the I.R.S gets even a small chance to take her money and they WILL get it if given the opportunity! She must not have any standards to be married to a monster like that! The damn I.R.S has more power than the president or law enforcement! I owed them some money once and they r like fucking bloodhounds with no time limit!
ReplyDeleteThanks again BB for getting the story out.
ReplyDeleteReally getting sick of looking at these demon possessed inbred culeros. They cannot do anything better for their country than create chaos.
They are worst than the beheading videos. Just looking at the photo of some of them leads me to believe they would chingale their own mother.
What a bunch of sick f*cks .
5:30 what do you mean "slayed" i hope a few of them were not a caballero too they are famous for being there and ready to take a fall for the "right slayer".
ReplyDelete8:02 texas grandma, thw interesting ing would be who was suppliying her company from the US, and who she was supplying to on the other side, US companies are famous for greedy and shady deals, rick scott, governor of florida, the cacaine state and home of the cuban drug trafficking exiles,whose own company had to pay millions to the government for medicare fraud, and fired his ass after mr scott pled guilty to 14 counts of fraud, and mitt romney had to dump one of his companies when he got wind that tge government was investigating it too, those guys stole millions, and kept a lot of it, and we are worrying here about a person that just lent her name to a shitty operation.
there is also the partners of the zetas buying the gas on the US side, one of the companies buying was VALEO, associated with chicago mayor rahm ennamuel, as soon as the cat was out of the bag, valeo shut down operations, vleo was supplying gas for squad cars too, wonder why, sweetheart deals all over for police pension funds, that is why they look the other way on drug trafficking? like the gun manufacturers, benefitting from gun sales to mexico by pocketing some of the narco-money....
Now that Juanita chica looks HOT !!!!! Finally something pleasant to look at than some inbred culero. Hey Chivis , got any bikini pics of her?
ReplyDeleteIn this war as in WWI there has to be some "trench" humor. Everyday of
http://www.lapoliciaca.com/blogdelnarco/ or BB... all good peeps need to or can step back and breathe freah air. But in retrospect there are those poor souls in Mexico that do not have this luxury. And that people is the saddest part.
They just need to ship them both back up here to the u.s with la barbie! Wow 3 for the price of one!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they use "truth serum" in Mexico? If he ever came to the US think of the windfall of intel they could obtain. The CIA has been cleaning house over there in Afghanistan for years. Then again, Mexico probably already has began taking care of business. That's where all those secret graves are coming from.
ReplyDelete@ February 16, 2014 at 11:31 AM
ReplyDelete" Sodium Thiopental " ? Doubt it works when possessed by demons.
11:31am the taliban had almost cleaned house in afghanistan, when the war started they had about 9 000 hectares of opium poppy, and after 11 years of war they have about 300 000 hectares of opium poppies, and a lot of the heroin is coming into the US, i don't know how, and it's been displacing cacaine with meth closely behind, the mexican cartels have been making too much money for themselves, the CIA don't need them so much anymore, and the colombians can handle the transportation directly into the US much better from their US military bases in colombia, mexican cartels can help of course, but their franchises are many less now. only for a few loyal and select partners, who understand who is the big boss, and deliver the money on time...
ReplyDeleteStop watching movies and listening to idiots. Don't comment nothing about Afghanistan unless you were there.

also i am left wondering about the statement that there are chinese bases on the border US/Mexico ready to fight for the chinese part of the blueberry pie, and arabs too...
@2:44 it is very hard on one to be raising the hand every time an answer is needed for el mas pendejo, but here we go,guessing you address my comment. worldly posessions do not produce anything, work, workers, working on your owned enterprises make you money, lending money makes you even more money, and if you lend so much that the debtors can not even pay the interest, soon you own the debtor, his employees, his business his country,etc etc.; now if some wise asses refuse to take the friendly loans offered to help get them out of poverty, you start a war, and teach them a lesson, slam them against the wall, and on to making money, ladies go for the jewelery, of course, real money men go for the throat, i hope you have been helped a little bit, i would not want to abuse the hospitality of BB and hog the site with a whole book
ReplyDelete9:34 sodium pentothal and lie detectors are too much refinement, waterboarding, cattle prods and other means of torture are more enjoyable for the disciples of the torquemadas and the inquisition of the later days aint's, as the death torture and murder of kiki camarena has proved...
ReplyDelete@3:28 no, i wasn't there, my son went there and i wasn't happy, he went there for love of his country, and like many others for love of his brothers serving his country, i'm sure it was a surprise to discover that they were used for some chickenhawks to make a few billion dollars, never mind the collateral damages, i am here in the US watching the rise in heroin related deaths, and you could not have been all over afghanistan to have seen what reporters with a chip on the shoulders have, maybe if you take a trip and debunk the assertions of those that affirm that heroin comes from afghanistan, we will try and believe you, nothing against the servicemen here, but the chickenhawk manipulators owe the US some explications, that is for sure...
ReplyDeleteWell, I was in Nam back in 69, and my five sons have combat mos's and served in both Iraq and Afghanistan, we have talked about it many times and they all said that it wasn't true that the Armed forces were used by a few for their own personal gain. But they agreed that they made a difference in the lives or the Iraq and Afghan people helping them to get rid of the Taliban.
Delete@3:28 the vietnam war protesters finished the war quicker than all the bombs dropped and US soldiers killed and maimed on vietnam soil, and many of them did not need to plant their feet there...laos and cambodia included. henry kissinger the depopulator himself negotiated a peace that assured the continuation of conflicts and depopulation somewhere else, che guevara is credited for saying 1, 2, 3, many vietnams! henry kissinger and his international globalist associates have the credit for creating many, many, many more vietnams all over the world...aye?
ReplyDeleteYou're all wrong, war protesters were a bunch of cowards that were afraid to answer their nation's call to duty. When we got the draft letter in the mail we just went and served our country we didn't cry about it, we just went, and the record of those who dodged the draft were marked: COWARD, what about that. Like I said, if you didn't go, or did not served please STFU.
DeleteDo you complain about our government at the end of the month when you cash your food stamps or welfare check? Stop crying and serve, get some hands on experience and don't let someone else do your fighting.
Delete4:46, well bless the servicemen, and they really try,and they are the ones that fight and die for honor and country,but the chickenhawks and associates are real, they are famous, the money they make is very famous, soldiers in prison for the dirty deeds of private contractors are famous too, i don't have anything to gain or lose from any of this,there is info...
ReplyDeleteselling the iraki or iraqui war among others, of course the private contractors ain't talkin'to nobody about "security" matters.
And best regards to all past present and future service men and women.
I'm talking about the freedom and well-being of the Iraqi and Afghan people, but you are talking about the oil companies and private security agencies trying to get a piece of the cake along with some dirty ass politicians, and you are right about it, but we should not let the actions of these mofos taint the outstanding job performed by our soldiers. God bless you brother.
Delete@ February 15, 2014 at 6:41 PM
ReplyDeleteHave you ever met a female Mexican? Or a male Mexican for that matter?
along with the hippies and ther cowards who did not serve, many many disenchanted vietnam war veterans, helped bring an end to the war, the politicians started it and finally lost it on the diplomatic circles, nothing was gained by the victims of that war, the soldiers killed and maimed in order for others to get rich off their tribulations,are worth a lot more than the food stamps and welfare checks the US people got, i am sure.
ReplyDeleteno disrespect to the servicemen and women of the US armed forces, and we should not mix them with the satraps that benefit from their service...
Amen to that brother.
