Miguel Trevino Morales "40," detained leader of Los Zetas, designated as one of the most bloodthirsty men in the history of drug trafficking, told a judge in August that he is only a farmer who earns 40 thousand pesos a month and feared for himself in prison.
The alleged drug trafficker, is known inside as "El Mike," his alias and doesn't belong to any indigenous group, told judicial authorities. He has no vices: he doesn't gamble, drink alcoholic drinks, smoke cigarettes or do drugs.
"The day he was arrested he was in a normal state," said a telegram sent by a court clerk of the prevention and Social rehabilitation penal facility. He is the son of Rodolfo Treviño Arroyo, deceased, and Maria Arcelia Morales Martínez, "El Z-40" says he has income of 40 thousand pesos a month from his work in the agricultural sector and has 5 financial dependents, his wife from a common-law union and 4 children.
Noting his physical details, Treviño has two tattoos, one on the right forearm with the figure of a cobra, and the other on the back of the neck, in the form of a painting, with the logo 'Hecho enMexico.
For the criminal who the Federal government, attributes hundreds of deaths in the last decade, it is remarkable that alleged leader of Los Zetas doesn't have a single scar, as referenced in the documents.

What a big fat spinner El Mike is! Should be scared of rats in prison not squirrels. Wimp-boo-hoo-hooey! Not a scar on him cause he's a doughy bully.
ReplyDeleteGive me a f*king break, will you!
ReplyDeleteI guess being a farmer explains the million or two in cash allegedly in his possession when he got busted.
ReplyDeleteExactly what I thought, but maybe Mexican farmers are in the habit of travelling at night with a spare two million in cash on them. If so, I am in the wrong job and wrong country!!
DeleteUNFUHKiNBELIEVABLE!
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis whole story is bullshit i dont know who your source is but obviously they dont know the real miguel
ReplyDeleteBB has taken a dive in credibilty
ReplyDeleteJAMAS! NEVER! BB is the real deal.
DeleteI love bb
Deleteyea of course, all the farmers I know drive around with millions of dollars and military grade weapons on their person
ReplyDeletesorry this does not belong on this website. bb is better than that. where did it come from, blog del?
ReplyDeleteFuk the zetas and el 40 but from wat I hear and read he is hard core!! Viva el lazca!!
ReplyDeleteamong z40's crimes,the assassination of lalo moreira to go unpunished?,just for that,this mofo will rot in prison,then extradition to Guatemala,400 more or less murders,then to the USA for not being a nice carwasher.
DeleteHe will wish he had fought and died like a man,har,har,har! ja,ja,ja! and, jo,jo,jo!
He never said that
ReplyDeletei think its a good story shows you how he will try to con his way out plus they should let fight it to the death
ReplyDeleteApparently the relationship between La Ardilla and Z40 was more than business - it was personal. Having had some romantic relationship with the same women at one point or another will cause to occur. So when does a farmer drive around in an recent model Ford F-250 dulley with $2mil.US cash on hand with heavy weapons; send $1mil USD to Texas every mo. so that his brother could launder money through quarter race horsing company; drive around high powered auto. rifles. He's a farmer alright. Not of the legal kind crops though. Actually $40 grand a mo. in pesos is rich in Mexico. That's about $3,200 U.S.D. With that kind of salary you're not going to drive around with $2mil. on a back country road in Mexico.
ReplyDeleteWhen you socialize with the help,it is bound to happen,even if you are the best option, the one you like the most will make a bad choice just to put you in your place,some will tease and hook you on purpose just to slam you,pimps know,don't care,and usually win,not a mamaz boyz buzinezz!
DeleteGuys, you got to read this again, the article mentions Z40 SAID he was a farmer, that´s his legal statement, it doesn't mean its the truth, nobody would believe this, it´s just a legal strategy.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are all idiots,BB does an awesome job of reporting on mexican cartels drug traffickin,eventhough lately it has benn puttin some unrelated info which is not why ppl come on this site but other thab that,great!
ReplyDeleteZ40 is smarter than we thought,theres not much evidence against him other than he said that he said that he said jahah Z40 lawers got this!!!! Its all strategy, maybe planned strategy who knows
It's just a strategy. All narcos at one point or another have claimed to be farmers or "ganaderos". It's the easiest way to hide in plain sight. Buy 100's of cows and plenty of land and people won't come around asking too many questions. As for 40, I think it's a little late in the game for that. He can play the Mexican judicial system. But I'm sure the D.E.A has enough to deep fry him. Expect a swift trial and sentencing A LA "EL DIEGO" once he gets on this side.
ReplyDeletehey guys, had good season, he is a farmer he sells his crop of mary jane.
ReplyDeletehe is a rat hope la ardrilla gets him.
He had to say something . He has land and horses....it was a logical jump. I'm sure this is what his lawyer said to do. Nothing in his defense will be believable or he'd be admitting his guilt.
ReplyDeleteThere ain't mothing wrong with a little comic relief once in a while.
ReplyDeleteI want my 3 minutes back
ReplyDeleteThis guy(40) is not a dumb guy. Think about it guys why would you come out and say that you are the leader, a living demon. He is going to either escape or extredited to the USA within a year.
ReplyDeleteIF he fesses up,pleads guilty and pays his mordidas,he may get probation(two weeks) and no extradition! we better keep an eye on this case...
DeleteZ-40 is screwed because the big oil companies are going to privatize the energy market in Mexico. The days of the Zetas stealing oil from PEMEX and selling it across the border are coming to an end. Private investors are asking EPN for protection from people like 40, and they're going to get it.
ReplyDeleteEPN will go to war for the oil companies, just like Dubya.
Who needs to market the oil in Mexico?export is the word,the money,and the divisas will NEVER come to Mexico,NEVER...
DeleteMexicans always get puro atole con el dedo
also called promesas...pemex will have to be re-expropriated,maybe not in our lifetime...
About the oil? Which comes first protecting his oil interests or his Zeta ties if they aren't one and the same. I wonder? I meant EPN protecting his ties to oil interests who may conflict with his Zeta ties? And PRI ties. Which is most portant and how does he know?
DeleteHe is snitching to get a lighter sentence ! all this cartels are cowards they will eat there own children to save themselves ! Let this me example to all the pendejos that join the cartels !
ReplyDeleteHey dipshits bb just reports this shit it doesn't mean they believe this shit u dumb fucks
ReplyDeleteI understand that legal strategies are a game of their own and whatnot, but what I hope is that the court isn't planning a paid-off reduced sentence, and arranged with Z40 to downplay his notoriety to satisfy the more gullible citizens.
ReplyDeleteThey've been laughing in tears when they were building his defencing strategy.
ReplyDeletethis guy is gonna get whacked. chapo guzman is playing tripple round chess these other animals are playing checkers plus it helps to be good pals with the us cia and cohorts. may god save us all!
ReplyDeleteThe Mexican government will give him his two million dollars back and apologize?hope not,they will give him his two million dollar ticket to the us.EXTRADITATION!!!! Then we will be happy everafter
ReplyDeleteLegal Strategy nothing more..
ReplyDeleteLet him and La Ardilla kill each other. Let the public watch, put one knife on a rope and who ever gets it first gets to use it on the other. Then kill the winner.
ReplyDeleteThe story must be true if so many readers probably Zetas are calling it a lie. Now they know who their boss really is, a real wimp.
ReplyDeleteYeah right even he can't say that sentence with a straight face to the judge! What about all the narco banners, murders, interrogations, his brother arrested in the U.S, that includes his name and the banners he signed? I have also heard stories that he owns a huge house in Nvo Laredo had a hummer and brand new BMW and would hook up his teen workers to enter strip clubs that he got quotes from! Yet he's a farmer?!?! Maybe afraid of getting a real ass whooping from prisoners he betrayed or prisoners of family he killed in the proccess! Z40 is a BITCH for not taking responsibility as a leader!
ReplyDeleteYou guys went bat shit over this? Why? BB didn't make it up. I read it in Proceso too. It is called legal strategy. You needn't shoot the messanger. I haven't seen BB just make shit up. We're better off knowing what El Mike was saying than not. Even if the guy is full of it. What do you bet he grows hay for his horses on all that land. He had three ranches and who knows how many horses.
ReplyDelete@6:40 am
ReplyDeleteThat is what I'm thinking, there is more truth to it than not-but what is the deal w/ him admitting he is scared of anyone much less "la Ardrilla." It makes him look weak and I'm sure there are plenty other people he should avoid. Could it be some sort of a signal to someone ouside to do something? Kinda like Colorado Cessa hoping the judge in the Zeta trial would signal him with the word 'golf." It is weird is all I am saying.
Ppl he should avoid? Yea like la barbie.theres no love lost between 40 and barbie either!
DeleteSo many of you guys really are making such a mountain out of a mole hill. You should be glad they put on any material for you to waste your three minutes on! Think of all the bogus commercials you watch. Now that is time you should be screaming about wanting back. Another thing if you don't like it....DON'T STRAIN YOUR PEA BRAIN READING IT!
ReplyDeleteI don't doubt he said the shit - why else would it make so many Zidiots so furious and so many Zidiots vehemently deny it? Ummmmmmm?
DeleteJune 28,1973 give me a break. his birthday is November 18th
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know the answer to this (Chivis or Havana maybe?):
ReplyDeleteIn the testimony about the 2011 San Fernando massacres, the alleged survivor said that Z40 ordered them all to kill each other etc, and that he personally killed one of them. But I've heard he had nothing to do with it.
Is that part of the testimony a lie?
LOL this mugre trys to
ReplyDeletesay hes a farmer to me Thats
an insulta to the real farmers
de México
rot in hell 40.
Why are all my comments being deleted? They're not even remotely offensive, or even opinionated.
ReplyDeletedo you have a link to that sotry? I have heard the opposite which is why I am worried he will not be convicted. EVERYONE arrested said they were not supposed to kill they were to recruit, and Z40 killed the 3 responsible for the killings and left them on the side of a road in San Fernando right after the killings. Z40 was not there.
ReplyDeletethe survivor only gave accounts to what happened to them. BTW there were 3 survivors, but after the publicity of the first man they did not disclose that for a long while.
There are witnesses,recordings of phone calls,etc?,the dea is not going to have him on a wanted list with a 5 million dollars reward for nothing. z40,la tetanic,needs to go! let him chose,Guatemala or the US...
DeleteThat doesn't mean that 40 didn't took part in the killings, just means that he killed 3 of about 9 witnesses against him.
DeleteHow can a lawyer even represent him yet alone shake his had this guy has done things Satan would do... Either way bet u guy can't sleep at night..
ReplyDeleteHi Chivis,
ReplyDeleteHere's the link to the article http://www.borderlandbeat.com/2011/04/nightmare-of-massacre-in-san-fernando.html
Note the message at the beginning about the validity :) On the wikipedia page for the massacre it used to have this story under 'alleged survivor's story'.
Where is the source that said Trevino killed the perpetrators and left them on the highway?
As far as his conviction, I doubt he would get off on a misconception about that story. I think if he gets off it will be because of corruption in the court, in which case it doesn't matter what he's tried for. Bear in mind he's already been given the same 20 year sentence that Jose received, so (ideally) there's no escaping that.
thank you.
ReplyDeleteI never bought into that story. It made the rounds on blogs but buggs had an intro as a big qualifier.
since that article most the players directly involved have been arrested and they said the same thing, they were to recruit not to kill. the survivor talked of his group being taken from the bus and told they had a choice to work for them or pay the consequences. that was his story. he played dead and walked many miles for help as people were to fearful to help him. even the authorities did not believe his story until the fly over.
a few days later the gunmen were killed. I posted the link to the story a couple months back. it wasn't my story I think it was ovemex. I just searched in the toolbar for posts about the 72 and went forward and finally found it.
then when people began getting arrested they all said the same story, they were not to kill, but the people all refused to work for them.
when I heard 40 had a warrant out for the killing I thought there must be evidence we don't know about, but mysteriously those charges have not come forth as a factor in his arrest.
I think he has been very careful, though a reader says he has a warrant for a murder in Laredo TX, but I could not find it.
perhaps someone can...
Under the RICO ACT,everybody is responsible,and you lose everything the us government wants to take.also you are responsible for the deeds of your sicarios and your organization,and 20 years is bullshit.Caro quintero did 30 years for the murder of kikj camarena,and he wasn't even there,that was for screwing Sarah cossio, the horny governor of jalisco's niece...I hope the us fights like a bitch to get him extradited before the motherfuckin Mexican justice shitstem lets him go...
DeleteRosalio Reta and his friend killed 5 people, 40 ordered those killings and paid $$$ for them. He has been charged with five counts of capital murder, conspiracy to commit murder, etc etc. Rosalio Reta and his friend(the one who has tattoos in his eyelids) put the finger on Trevino. Also he's been indicted on two separate murder charges. El Cachetes and friends executed Resendez and his young nephew. El Cachetes put the finger on Trevino as well. That's 7 capital murder cases just in Laredo, TX
DeleteRosalio Reta and Gabriel Cardona killed those guys.
DeleteIf it's a sealed indictment you won't find any info on it.
DeleteRICO is heavy stuff, if you're charged under this Act, you're toast. Nobody gets to skate on RICO.
DeleteYou are absolutely demented and deluded if you think he'll walk- seriously? How? Tell us?
ReplyDeleteIt is very easy...the Mexican government likes and takes MORDIDA$$$$!
DeleteChivis do you know what's happening with La Ardilla? Like, is he getting a life sentence? Or a Mexican sentence?
ReplyDeleteOk cool, thank you :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't the story of the survivor playing dead and walking for miles from the 2010 SF massacre? With the 72 people?
And do you have any of the articles about 40's killing the massacre perpetrators? I'd be interested to read more.
You're awesome!
Feynman
Bear in mind that unless he's extradited, he's being tried in Mexico. That means he may be able to get off easily if he offers the female security guards jewelry or an engagement ring.
ReplyDeleteIn this case, I'm sure it would take more than trinkets to get Z-40 off the hook? I mean seriously? I know conviction rates are low but that is hard to grasp. This is Z-40 we're talking about- they killed 300 families in the Acuna area of the border.
DeleteI wrote Havana and told hermy comments weren't getting on . She wrote back saying, "They'll get on if u use your head, refrain from racist remarks and keep a half way, coherent civil tongue in your head." Mine usually don't make it. They do to Tijuana and Vato. Conspiracy? Why?
ReplyDelete8:34- who is Hermy? Friend of La Ardrilla in jail or something I missed. I only skimmed the comments. I'll admit it.
Delete@ October 18, 2013 at 8:24 AM
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you're actually from Mexico, but you'd be amazed how well that kind of stuff actually does work here.
@ October 18, 2013 at 8:34 AM
ReplyDeleteI think there are some comments that do get lost. I've had a few not make it and they definitely weren't offensive. Things like "interesting article, thanks for posting". Obviously the racist comments and whatnot get censored as well, but if you write normal comments and some don't make it, don't take it personally.
Odd stories like these are really what it is all about and give the blog here personality. They make you think more than the straight forward stories. It is just a little bizarre. I'll b happy to say I'm glad I read it. I checked this is a real story.
ReplyDeleteRemember how the Golfos were distributing supplies to citizens of Tampico after Hurricane Ingrid? The Templarios give away cheap jewelry to women in my community in Michoacan in order to keep them quiet. Women in Michoacan will literally forget that a narco group murdered their children if they give them material possessions, especially if it's a wedding ring jaja. They have five more children by the next week anyway.
ReplyDeleteMucha mamadero de gallo. Este HP se burla de medio mundo. Que se muere de la risa, pues. Busted? Arrested? More like "rescued," w/ a couple of guns & couple million bucks on him. May El Mike rot in hell eternally with his gringo masters.
ReplyDeleteTDV
@2:31 p.m i agree as nobody wants to see beheadings all the time! At least normal ppl dont.a little variety is good and to get some insight into some of these jokers.is la barbie still sitting in the same prison as 40? They need to extradite both those mother f@#*ers!!
ReplyDeleteAsk Chivis, she knows if and where they shifted his letter writing ass to but he just may still b residing in a cell by El Mike. So "mike" and "el mike" -how quaint.
ReplyDeleteZ-40 doesn't need a scar, he had plenty of other goons to do his heavy work. He better watch out, Secret Squirrell is gonna get him.
ReplyDeleteSomeone up there said Z-40 was given the same 20 year sentence as Jose and there is no getting around that? Who says that? Would 't he have had to stand triial for that in person? Of course he didn't.
ReplyDeleteYou can be sentenced in absentia, which means you need not to be present.
Delete@ October 18, 2013 at 5:19 PM
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with October 18, 2013 at 5:03 PM on this one. I live in Mich and it's unbelievable how women here will forget their morals and responsibilities if there's promise of jewelry and marriage in it for them. That's why there are so many single mothers, they get married the day they meet a guy who will give them fancy stuff and he's left them within a month because they got married before getting to know each other.
This is hilarious: Z-40 is a farmer and is afraid of La Ardilla !
ReplyDeleteBig Bad Wolf is afraid of a Squirrel hhmmm.. . ?
ReplyDeleteIs there a way to forget how his sickarios killed other prisoners in jail?among all his other crimes, he is not known to forgive even women or children,la Barbie set free the girlfriend of the "y turn que guey"zeta sent to kill him,and gave her money for the bus,that makes him much more of a gentleman,let's stop calling him "el mike",it trivializes his evil deeds,z40 will never be forgotten or forgiven...if be could put his fame in the bank,he would be truly rich.no mercy!
ReplyDeleteNovember 18th z 4o's birthday !!!
