when do they become one unified CDG ? In prison? Are they like united states gangs in the sense that they feud on the streets but become one in prison?
ReplyDeleteNo they are not like surenos CDG was once one organization with a very strong hi rocky now it is more like a loose coalition of gangs that sometimes work together or against each other to move drugs and kidnap people
DeleteNo. Beefs from the streets are handled in there. It's jail politics and if you didn't play your hand right it gets ugly quick. These cartels including Sinaloa are letting the foot soldiers figure out new plazas since the big names are done. Once the structure and plazas are secured they form alliances from within and ultimately new heavyweights are made. These factions also have the same suppliers.
Deletethe Gulf Cartel is almost under control of the scorpion group of matamoros and all the groups listed here are extinct
DeleteTantos pendejos. Y todos valen madre
ReplyDeleteI believe you and I fear you. You have won my respect I an't going no Mexico You guys rule. jeuw "The Boss"
ReplyDeleteWhat about (los lobos) del comandante gama realy big shot caller here in matamoros very close back then to tony t and samuel flores el metro3 he got executed in a hose in reynosa and mostly all the lobos are dead or in jail or in the rgv, oh and there the scorpiones, alacranes del senor tony t. And there are many more guardia groups there are actually more guardias groups than stacas los cobras los jaguares loscondors ...oh and by the way grupo L is gone since beto fabe got picked up by tony most of the L went to become alacranes tonys t group the one that did not wanted to give up the weapons got killed by the scorpions
ReplyDeleteLobos where from nuevo Laredo
DeleteLos lobos were created in Matamoros.
DeleteIt's just a big ol' mess......chingao!
ReplyDeletePobre bola de bullies.....no valen madre..
Grupo L grew even more when bero fabe became plaza boss for the c.d.g or was under tony t permision to work and do as he pleased beto fabe invested a hole lot on guardias he maked shure they got there amarillos or checks every week he even hoasted partys for them every december and gave away recent mdels escalades true fact it was like walking into a tv show he was on stage sitting whit his closes men infron of all the audience that night the stacas did the the serveilance in town, los L was founded originaly by el karis.who el karis worked originaly under manuel vazquez mireles el cabezon osiels close friend and right hand man dont believe me google manuels name top dog in the cdg back then he i sitting in prison now he was osiels main guys to take over for him while in prison but he got arrested by municipal police all coked up what good was he for osiel behind bars,it wassent the first time he got arrrested last time he did osiel put the zetas to use and send them to recue him from police after getting stoped by a federal de caminos theres actually acorrido from beto quintanilla of the events that day.
ReplyDelete"Se les pelo El Cabezon" Beto Quintanilla
DeleteWtf, this isnt even a fucking cartel, maybe back when Osier ran shit but what is all this bullshit!!? All this inner fighting between different factions in the cartel, it makes no sense for every single cell to claim CDG!!
ReplyDeleteMakes perfect sense
DeleteTo the moron above.whatever you think of Osiel now. He's deeds are there for all to see. He was the most powerful capo in Mexico in he's days.Coke and weed and all sorts of drugs were pouring over the border and he controlled from matamoros to nuevo Laredo he made incredible amounts of money he had a crew of people around him of about 20 men of whom el coss,el kelin and many more men whom became his lieutenants and would be future plaza bosses and bosses. He built los zetas and somehow brought Carlos Rosales and his organization into the fold. This means not only los zetas were under the cdg and Osiel but the future la familia Michigan's as well Do you understand now? Yes he was as powerful and wealthy and deadly.
DeleteWhat about the zacatecas faction with f1? What are they called?
ReplyDeletethey are part of metros
DeleteHow do you connect the CDG factions to Federal Senator Manuel Cavazos Lerma, former governor of the state?
ReplyDelete--All i saw somewhere was that the US hid his money laundering record...
CDG: Cartel del Gays
ReplyDeletea new part of the cartel
DeleteOye, pero ellos dicen ke CDG significa Cartel De Gallos, ke seun son los mas machines para los topones con los marines ke los demas, incluyendo las putitas de sinaloa ke les gusta salir corriendo de los marines.. y mas cuando anda solos .. ..
DeleteStreetgangs with high caliber weaponry
ReplyDeleteIm pretty sure you are missing a couple more.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the comments, this is the list in the article, it does say " active " groups. Im sure this list is not exhaustive, hence the link to Itzli's article.
ReplyDeleteOtis! Your articles are the best! Keep up the great work.
DeleteMunke
Funny how people are saying how this article forgot this crew or that crew. I have always been amazed with BB and its knowledge de cartel de golfo, especially now since it had been at war with los zetas. Too bad BB doesn't have a person like this for every cartel. Great work! Do one for Sinaloa,!jailisco, and Knights..... Oh yeah those bastards don't have a cartel anymore/ they have La Puta
ReplyDeleteHow is it funny? I thought this website was about helping each other, therefore, the assistance of the community is needed.
DeleteWhere is the faction of the Comandante F1 el Panchito from Zacatecas.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYT6hQc8d6A
5 años desde que comenzo la guerra z vs cdg y las golfos aun sigen de traiconeros y papeleros segun los heroes dela gente , la letra aun con todo mundo contra ellos sige al puro tiro algunos manzanas podriadas an salido pero no an echado perder a toda la canasta, despues de la ultima letra no ay nada.
ReplyDeleteSounds like high school gangs, what a bunch of stupid ignorant Mexicans!
ReplyDeleteESOS PERROS TENDRAN MUCHO , PERO LES ASEGURO KE ELLOS NO DUERMEN KOMO YO ,,,,BIEN TRANKILO,,,,
ReplyDeleteLots of factions, lots of different ways of running things, more chances for people to disagree. Or, independent franchises of the same business model. Take your pick.
ReplyDeleteDamn shame all these factions from 1 cartel, if these idiots put greed on the side n unite into CDG it would be a power house, n that goes for the rest of the main cartels. These idiots dont think.
ReplyDeleteYou failed to mention C.N.A. That would be 'cartel de nuthuggers anonymous.' You know, 'accept that you are powerless over your nuthugging'. Great article! The whole 'me too' phenomenon is so tragic as this is not the authentic Mexico. Que Onda
ReplyDeleteits authentic mexico now...the past is the past...thats like a white man saying the USA isn't authentic anymore because we don't have jim crow
DeleteJuanito carrizalez cuando vas aprender....parse q tu carnal no t dio buena escuela jajaja aki t esperamos en nectar Lima culero pa q salgas corriendo Como siempre lo haces
ReplyDeleteR1 & Comandante 98 just broke off from Ciclones LDG "Linea Del Golfo" matamoros CDG. R1 & 98 have a truce going on with Zetas from CD. Victoria & Los TalibaneZ only. R1 & 98 control right now Rio Bravo city. So they got heat from CDG"Reynosa" & LDG"Matamoros & CDG Sur. So now CDG is broken into 4 CDG "Reynosa", CDG Sur, LDG, CDG vieja escuela.
ReplyDeleteSir Como saber tango? Lol jk
DeleteEl Diablo just captured in La Paz, BCS
ReplyDeletemore intel on this?
Delete@1:01 p.m.
ReplyDeleteSo what factions belong where?
OK, Otis, since you know better from england, what do you know about english zeita ?
ReplyDelete--I'm sure he sells sopes for ten pounds in a mall somewhere there in his spare time...
Some criminal mexican groups seem to have presence in the brittish islands, could we have some info on that?... thanks for whatever you can dig from there...
There are no Zetas in England, for one they wouldn't last five minutes here, not because of some macho bullshit, but because as one , English people would not stand for that kind of behaviour. If you are doing something wrong here, people will report you to the police, we have no concept of snitching, only a conception of civic duty.
DeleteThere were a gang of dealers in London with links to Sinaloa, but they were arrested and imprisoned. They were not Mexican. Spain at its closest is about 1250 miles from England, there are Mara Salvatrucha in Spain , but not many, as they get arrested as soon as they show their presence. They deal with cocaine shipments from the Sinaloa cartel landed in Spain.
Spain with its former colonies, take a lot of migrant workers from former colonies in Central and South America. Some of those have formed MS.
We also very strictly regulate firearms, pistols are banned, rifles can only be bolt action above .22 winmag. You can buy semi auto in anything below that calibre. If you want weapons you have to apply to the Police, they will attend your house, check its security, check your approved gun cabinet, and you have to justify how many rounds of whatever ammunition you want to keep.
If you have any violence on a police record you will be refused a firearms license. You have to do six months probationary membership of a certified gun club, before you can apply for a license.
Otis, obviously the bristish ppl are not ignorant idiots they know what the deal is in their country, and also whats best for them.. It helps alot that their government does it's job very well in most cases.. as it should be..
DeleteThe ppl can't even compare the mx "system" (if they have one yet..) with the british "system" because everything is different, including the behavior of the citizens.. etc.. which in some cases is a result of the same government.
civilians in Mex cant port fire arms period its illegal and yet they port the biggest and baddest not to mention bazookas rpg, gernades you name it
DeleteActually its written into the Mexican constitution that any Mexican can own a handgun for self defense. There are some restrictions, restriction to .380 calibre, and there is only one shop in the whole of Mexico where you can buy them, in Mexico City if you have required license. Needless to say nobody gets a legal gun because you have to jump through too many hoops to get it in the first place, and secondly there is a massive supply of guns being smuggled un lawfully across the border from United States into Mexico. Which are sold at dirt cheap prices.
Delete@8.08 yes our Government behave themselves, because just as we will not stand for any nonsense from criminals, we wont stand that behaviour from Politician's also. The one thing I have found as Ive travelled around the world, is that where ever you go, 99.9% of the people you meet will be friendly and curious. I don't believe its any different in Mexico. After all, politicians, generals, police chiefs , i.e. those that have the power, that are taking bribes, are a tiny tiny fraction of the population of Mexico.
The unfortunate thing is that it is that tiny fraction that control the power.
'Tonces el einglish zeita es puro culero, ahi'ta guey, pinchi einglish zeita ni la buscada...
ReplyDeleteThanks otis, i guess the football hooligans is the worst and that is it..
--Spain is only looking for some coin with smiles and kickbacks for their former colonies, after chasing pinochet in england, they have bought the chicago skyway and the parking meters to make the daleys billionaires, but the US were never their colony...
Another group left out was los rojos led by r1. Its wear how people use to say that r1 was dead and a new person with the code name rey de reyes started to get popular. Now that it is been reported more often that r1 is still alive and running south victoria and Rio bravo, it's wear how now we hear less of rey de reyes. Many have commented that they are both the same person.
ReplyDeleteI just translated a new article, which has more info about who is what and where, certainly there are more zeta groups than I thought there might be.The article is called 10 years of terror in Tamaulipas
DeleteNow that's really retarded to say that R1, would truce with zeta if they have murdered his family and friends...his nephew had his whole family whacked remember on video ... Comandante diablo. ..
ReplyDeleteSi Zetas kill R1 relitives Dyablos family but those Zetas were from Nectar Lima "Nuevo laredo" zikarioZ. R1 & 98 are allied with Z50s TalibaneZ zikarioz & koka Vicky "Cd. Victoria" ZikarioZ those two zetas were loyal to Lazcas only they hated Z40 & Z42 because they knew he was a traitor especially after what happen to Z50 with Z40.
ReplyDeleteQue paso con el comandante chava M88? donde quedo> vive??
ReplyDeleteSo, is r1 has peace with cdn or zetas? Some are saying that some metros like toro are allowing r1 to return to tamaulipas.
