Madrid, Spain -
Madrid's National Police arrested a leader of a criminal gang nicknamed
"El Mexicano" (The Mexican), who allegedly had instructions to establish
this organization in Spain.
This individual had
several pending cases with the police and at the moment of his capture carried
falsified documentation, the police informed. Later it was discovered that he
had established his legal situation in the country with a fake identity.
"The arrest is
fruit of acts that are developed systematically to avoid the establishment of
this and other similar organizations in Spain" authorities indicated.
The subject, whose real
identity or nationality was not revealed, will be under arrest until he can be expelled
from the country.
The national police
achieved the investigation in collaboration with police services from Honduras
and El Salvador.
According to the
authorities, currently The "Mara 18" does not have one sole leader
controlling it, instead several leaders at an international level work in
coordination to mark the directives that the organization needs to be guided
by.
The principal sources
of financing for this organization are: Extortions, Specifically to
businessmen, drug trafficking, express kidnappings, arms trafficking, the
acquiring of real estate to later rent to other people, and other crimes.
The investigations into
the activities of "El Mexicano" in Spain remain open
"Las Maras"
which origin can be traced back to the 80's in the Unites States, is organized
in a system of territory cells with groups of youngsters between 25 and 50
members, who make crime their way of
life.
The Maras arose in the United
States as a consequence of conflicts generated by marginalization, family
issues and common delinquency. Even though the first members of the Maras were
natives of El Salvador, currently they have extended to countries like El
Salvador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Honduras, Ecuador, Peru and Colombia.
That's an 18st gang member not MS on your picture
ReplyDeleteThank you new contributor/translator "Benny Juarez" for this story and translation
ReplyDeleteI remember when I was doing time in county. Waiting for my ticket to go up north I was chillin with the paisas. And a guy from Lazaro Cardenas was telling me how people were going to Spain and Europe to start up trafficking cells. This was back in 2013. Mexico is def in Portugal and Spain.
ReplyDeleteYes, I believe it to. But this maras with tatooes on their faces eyelids and ears are easily identified by authorities. Drug pushers are usually more low key
Delete8:13 if mexican politicians are there desperately trying to launder some money, preferably all of it and dealing drugs, chances are they need their favorite gangster sicarios to help conquer the Sprain and the Tortugal with some cultural exchange.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the work Benny Juarez appreciate it,stay down man
People forget how much the mexican cartels depend on these Maras to secure their transport loads thru Central America
ReplyDeleteCool read!
ReplyDeleteKeep it up Benny!
The real mara is ms13 they are from san salvador , the most dangerous and rutles gang in the world , also they hate mexicans and will kill any of them on sigth ,
ReplyDeleteNah, times have changed. MS13 and 18th street had a deep rooted blood feud for decades but now some sets actually work together. There are sets who have joined forces hence the Mara 18 name. I think both sides saw how their feud was counterproductive to what they both wanted. Now I am not saying all sets get along and all Mexicans/El Salvadorans get along. I'm just saying the beef is not as intense as it use to be.
Deleteand you know why the "13" stands for, right? and most dangerous gang? lol maybe in your tv series.
DeleteWell Mexican cartels control the MS13. So the kill on sight is straight stupid.
DeleteM es la letra # "trese", según ellos, pero en español existe la letra "Ch" lo que hace la eMe letra #14... A B C Ch D E...
Deletetambien existe la letra Ñ para la maña
Mara 18 never heard of them. his tatz say hes frum 18 st
ReplyDeletemara is a salvadorean name for gangs.
DeleteHey why can't Nigaraua n El Salvador Collaborate with Mexico n bring some of these chumps down?
ReplyDeleteNot to derail or disrupt this thread, but in other news, in Baja Sur:
ReplyDeleteOfficials arrested Luis Fernando Villalobos Graciano, also known as “El Güero Ruffles,” who is believed to be the chief of plaza in the south of La Paz and who was wanted for homicide. They also arrested a man called “El Dany,” who was wanted for drug trafficking. YAY!

ReplyDeleteBeltrán Leyva’s wife arrested in Hermosillo
'La Señora' identified as responsible for much of the violence in Acapulco
Mexico News Daily | Tuesday, September 13, 2016
A woman whom authorities believe has been one of the principal generators of violence in Acapulco for the last two years was arrested yesterday in Sonora.
Clara Elena Laborín Archuleta, also known as “La Señora” and wife of Héctor Beltran Leyva, was detained without incident early yesterday morning in Hermosillo by Federal Police.
Los Maras are not affiliated with 18st. Los Maras are the Salvatruchas known as MS or Mara Salvatruchas or Mierda Secas. The 18 is the street gang known as 18st gang or Faketeen or Pussyochos. The Faketeen St gang goes way back and a lot of their members are Salvadorian. The younger Salvadorian migrating to Califas started MS in Califas instead of joining Faketeen St. They are rivals in the streets of L.A. 18st biggest rival is La Florencia Gang aka F13 which years back suffered a blow and had over 100 members locked up for targeting the mayates. The DA charged F13 gang members with hate crimes....
ReplyDeleteHere we go with the Mayate shit again. Tisk Tisk Tisk. Total disrespect as usual. As I remember correctly they were targeting black folks who were minding their business and weren't even gang affiliated. A cowards way of doing business if you ask me. 100 down 100 more to go. That Califas race war shit is so 1990's. What is this "blood in and blood out"?
DeleteWhats wrong with the mayate shit,somebody had to run them off to moval and palmdale they kept messing with the gente in the first place
Delete@1:06
DeleteAs I remember correctly, they targeted the crips till the mayates started targeting Hispanic civilians, and then yes, it became an eye for eye...
Mayate is also mexican sang for "gay males"
DeleteBut on the US it about blacks.
--For the 'umpteenth' time there is no racism in mexico, we kick everybody's ass equally, specially if they are unos pinchis priistas.
First off there is no one on BB disrespecting Hispanics so why do it to blacks? For as long as I can remember "Mayate" was/is a racial slur. I have never heard the word being said in a loving manner. Secondly it was the Mexican Mafia who gave the orders to start targeting black civilians and gang members in the 1990's. I guess it was a case of penis envy or something in the CDC. Either way the Califas way is all ass backwards regardless. Defend it if you like but it would be nice if you fellows would get out of the 1960's and into the 21st century.
Delete2:55 somebody told you wrong homie. La Eme advised all of the southern Cali Mexican based gangs to expel any black members they had in their ranks. If not they would face the consequences. 18th street was the last to do so because at first they didn't want to take orders from no one. They later changed their minds because of the possible retaliation in prison. La Eme sent out a green light on all black gangs and later all black civilians living in what they perceived as "their" neighborhood. Some Mexican gangs didn't want to target the black gangs living in or near their neighborhood because they were cool with one another. At that time blacks only banged on blacks and Mexicans only banged on Mexicans. La Eme stopped all that and changed the game. Now mind you this all probably happened before you were born so you might not know this part of gang history. I was raised in the 70's so I know alittle bit more than you. If you need another lesson hit me up.
Delete"For the 'umpteenth' time there is no racism in mexico"
DeleteNo racism in Mexico?Tell that to indigenous Mexicans,and thats just a start.One of the most uneducated answers ever on BB.Just saying that shows your true colors and agenda.
The race comments here are so nice.Tells you all you need to know.
DeleteAcquiring real estate?The means steal it and rent it out.These guys sound worse than the Mexican organizations.It seems dealing in drugs is not their main thing.What low lifes.
ReplyDeleteThe real estate of a gang is the turf they chose to work on, they only buy and sell drugs day and night 24/7 all day long, prostitution and ganna gong goes with the kife, they are resourceful, even in prison, kaibil style, like the setas they hang with, and el comandante perro...
DeleteDon't expell him without any prosecution in Spain. Otherwise, he will face nothing and will buy his way out.
ReplyDeleteMara is not 18. Mara is 13. 18st is a whole different gang
ReplyDeleteSo is ms13 now Mara 18?
ReplyDeleteNever heard of Maras 18, there is 18st and MS13 Mara Salvatrucha. This guy is 18st
ReplyDeleteThe maras are also fractured, while associated and related at the top, nobody wants to be the leader and spend the rest of their life in prison por pendejo, they learned and transformed.
DeleteIn El Salavdor ...Mara means GANG ...so ..the natives there use MARA 18st ...what they are saying is 18st gang ....but the guys from that gang never say MARA ....because that represents their rivals ....to a real member he just says
ReplyDelete18 period ......hope this helps...by the way ...these 2 gangs are huge(18-MS) with lots of CLICKS ....so only if your in jail you can say your really calling shots but for your click only....
The tatoo only says "diesiocho" that esplains it, A bote for murdering the language, in spain of all parts!
DeleteThe Real Academia de la Lengua Española 'sestaran' cagando de risa y de coraje al mismo tiempo...
Mara 18? 18th Street and M.S. 13. Maybe in Spain They call all gangbangers "Maras".
ReplyDeleteSome deported MS-13 and 18 street members cliqued up In different Central American prisons making Mara 18. It's very well known in the law enforcement community especially down south. Both sides got smarter because they were being assassinated by the Guatamalan, El Salvadoran and Honduran governments. The governments didn't want the Amercian gang banging shit in their country because they were so brutal. When released from prison they try to stay low key and cover their tats.
DeleteThe original 18 st came out of mexican real cholos out of a chapter of clanton 14 but clanton didn't accept so they went on there own. And the central Americans joind but don't act like salvadorians are the shit using mexican culture assholes
ReplyDeleteSpain reaping what they sowed in their former colonies! Hilarious fact!
ReplyDeleteIdiots living in the past.Mexicans trying to flood another country with poison,what about that one ?
DeleteGood work Benny, everyone appreciates your input, regards Otis
ReplyDeleteGood work Benny, everyone appreciates your input, regards Otis
ReplyDeleteFrom the picture it looks like he is West Side 18st gang member and is associated with the Mexican Mafia based on the shield tattoo on his back.
ReplyDeletela diesisocho is a gang in california funded by the sinaloa cartel.
ReplyDelete@9:11
DeleteThey are not funded by the Sinaloa cartel. The Sinaloa cartel pays taxes to these street gangs and then a portion of that gets kicked upstairs. If the cartels won't pay tax they will get robbed and beaten and maybe even killed. The Mexican cartels will not mess with the California street gangs because if one day they have a relative that lands in the CDC system, it's over.
I find that hard to believe that Sinaloa who is so much more powerful than these local street gangs would pay a tax.It's more the other way around but I doubt it but I'm sure these street gangs have to deal with Sinaloa exclusively no matter the price of the others.Just ask the Flores twins from Chicago.
DeleteSinaloa pays no tax, maybe give them a better price, that's works everywhere, if that doesn't work, then you are going to the gusanos, entiendes?
DeleteWhen you go to your favorite fast food joint, does McDonald's pay you taxes for using their products?
Delete@canadiana
DeleteThink about it Canadiana, these California street gangs live in United States. The cartels and their families live in Mexico, but if caught they will probably get extradited to the US. They will seek protection of some sort for their family members. Example: John Gotti head of the very powerful Gambino crime family, when he was serving his time, he paid the AB for protection from the blacks. Nobody messed with Gotti, he felt untouchable and thought he didn't need the protection anymore so he refuse to pay the AB for any more services. The AB told the blacks that they he was fair game and they didn't have his back. Couple days after some blacks assaulted Gotti, he went back to paying again. Does it make sense now?
11:37 you have a lot to learn about corruption in Spain.
ReplyDeletefor all those confused by them using the name "mara" in el salvador and other parts around there that's like there word for gang so mara 18 and marasalvatrucha are two different things mara 18 is 18th street, 18st was a mexican clique from clanton 14th but they wanted other hispanics to be able to join so they seperated from clanton formed there own clique and accepted anyone then all those who joined got deported and started there sets in el slavador and everywhere else
ReplyDelete2:51-That's what I have read also.It all started with the CIA flooding the streets of LA with crack to fund the wars in Central America and these illegals went to 'work'.
Delete"These illegals"?
Deleteand you are some type of administrator?
CIA flooding LA with crack?
Nathan Jones school of drugwar? Breitbart maybe? where bigots go to embrace stupidity and prejudice?
Maybe if you had said "illegals" you get a pass, but "these illegals" say it all. and secondly maras began when they grouped together after being shunned by the Mexican American population.
2:51 is right,18 18 (calle 18) created multinational groups and MS13 was created strictly by and for Central Americans first generation U.S. who were not accepted in L.A.
there was weird shit that use to happen back in those days there's a story that there was a train full of weapons that stopped working near all the poor neighborhoods that's where a lot of gangs ended up getting guns and stuff from, another thing 18th street is one of a few sureno cliques that doesn't use the 13 although they do have members in La Eme calling shots from inside prison but thats in cali anywhere else like mexico and salavador they separate themselves from surenos
DeleteSprain will defend the human rights in their former colonies right until they get their contratos and concesiones firmados por el gobierno y las juntas militares de las republicas bananeras, ya asi hasta sueltan a los putones como al bertie boy moreiro...
ReplyDeleteIt is a fact that starting in the 50's, the U.S. sent forces to train anti communist forces in central and south america. The govt's of these countries were weak and after the US puppet leaders took over many lives were lost and villages destroyed. By the time of Vietnam, special forces were up and down central america. Almost nothing was ever said in the US media, but does that mean it didn't happen? Iran contra was when the american public finally found out but the damage was done! J.A.G.
