Threatened by Chapo: former Nuevo Laredo mayor Benjamín Galván kidnapped

Chivis Martínez for Borderland Beat

Saturday March 1st update: Galván was found near his home, reportedly decapitated, the person kidnapped with him is said to have met the same fate. In my opinion it makes no sense that this was the work of Chapo, I am guessing it is a political killing. 

Benjamín Galván Gómez, a former mayor of Nuevo Laredo in the period 2011 - 2013, disappeared on Thursday, along with another person.
His family reported that the former mayor was last seen in his office, with plans to travel  across the border into Texas.
 
As  Galván approached his car with a friend to go to the city of Laredo, Texas, both were intercepted by armed men forced out of their vehicle and into another.
The former mayor was threatened by a group working for Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, who accused Galván of protecting Miguel Angel Trevino Morales, alias "Z40".
In  April 17, 2012, CDG Sinaloa gunmen executed 14 alleged members of  "Los Zetas" who were abandoned in front of the mayor office at city hall of Nuevo Laredo.
The bodies were left in 10 black bags inside a van parked on the side of City Hall. In the vehicle they left a "narco manta" signed by "El Chapo" threatening the mayor  and his police chief.
 
Subsequently, two car bombs were detonated, one outside the Nuevo Laredo Security Building  and one near City Hall, sending a clear and threatening message  to  Mayor Benjamín Galván and Security Director Alejandro Garza Balmori.
In February 2013 Garza was kidnapped and vanished,  just days after Garza’s two  brothers, Manuel and Jose, Jose a PGR Prosecutor, were killed in the metropolitan area of ​​Monterrey while on their way  to investigate the kidnapping of yet another brother, taken at the Tamaulipas border.
The two brothers were found dead inside the trunk of their white Passat, abandoned on the side of  Nuevo Laredo Highway  in the town of Cienega de Flores, 40 kilometers north of Monterrey, Nuevo León.
In Spring of 2012, a violent conflict between CDG/Chapo and Los Zetas ensued resulting in gruesome mass hangings, mass dismemberments, narco messages and threats between the cartels. (warning link contains graphic photos of dismembered bodies)

    3. Quit kissing Z's ass, they ain't shit anymore, you wanna talk about snitching and shit then talk about z42, and if you wanna talk about changing sides what about z42 younger sister living with a Golfo in Texas? The fat sob has plenty of money, ugly as hell but with that kind of money he looks like Justin Bieber to that cheap lady. Now that the plaza is hot z42's nephew El Kiko Treviño aka Kiko the rapist is trying to get some halcones back to work, but without money he ain't getting anyone, Z's ain't shit. They may be all over México, but they're hiding under their pimp thong.

  29. You shit heads sound like cheerleaders for cartels. The truth is the cartels fear and respect U.S. law enforcement. We dont sell out like in Mexico. Thats why they always rat on each other for reduced sentence in the U.S.

    1. Wrong people in the usa rat on their own people, homies, more than in mexico because its different in mexico you can still run things have whatever you want while in usa prisons the most thing you can own and have that other prisoners not alot will have is a cell phone. Mexico you can get real women in usa only guys with long hair. You dont see fools in the usa beheadind fools and cops and doing crazy shoot out because in the usa they scared to go in prison and do anytime thats why your homies rather rat you out instead of foing a little time. So be real fool. There are more rats in the usa.

    2. Shit im an american and I think in the usa nobody like or respect law enforcement except snitches. Plenty of wrong done by the police in america. Fuck all the usa police departments from boston to san diego and fuck the snitch above me here talking shit and because this is a chapo related article fuck him too. Anybody who cares to read about it and has any sence knows that chapo is a blood thirsty asshole. He attempted to kill the Arellanos himself instead of sending men.that says number one tje man he has balls and number two he likes to shoot himself his shitty.

  41. Mexican government confirms death of Benjamin Galvan Gomez

    Official word from the Mexican government says the former mayor of Nuevo Laredo was found dead in Monterrey.

    A forensic pathologist in Monterrey confirmed a body found recently is that of Benjamin Galvan Gomez; also dead alongside him was well-known Nuevo Laredo businessman Miguel Angel Ortiz.

    The Attorney General of the State of Tamaulipas was notified after the bodies were found Monday in Garcia, Nuevo Leon.

    The former Nuevo Laredo mayor disappeared the 27th of February, reportedly kidnapped as he came out from a pharmacy. He was with Ortiz when it happened near his home.

    The State of Tamaulipas is vowing to bring those responsible to justice.
