26 years in Prison for El Tigre, ex leader of the Cartel del Golfo

Translated by Otis B Fly-Wheel for Borderland Beat from a Milenio article

Victor Manuel de la O Trevino, alias Abel Alfredo Flores Trevino, was accused of the crimes of  belonging to organized crime, crimes against health and carrying arms for exclusive use of the armed services.


Reporter: Ruben Mosso
A Federal Judge sentenced to 26 years and 8 months in prison, the ex-leader of the Cartel del Golfo in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Abel Alfredo Flores Trevino or Victor Manuel de la O Trevino, El Tigre, whose detention in September of 2009, provoked an attack against the army with anti-tank rockets.

Together with El Tigre, Erik Torres Ibarra, was also sentenced to four years in prison and a fine of 100 days for the crime of carrying arms for exclusive use of the armed forces.

The Judge, of the Fourth District of Federal Penal Processes in the State of Mexico, found El Tigre guilty of the aforementioned crimes. Flores Trevino was captured on 4th of September of 2009 by elements of the army when he was encountered aboard a pickup, carrying weapons, after his detention, a commando intended to rescue him, that generated a confrontation with the army, that saw the criminals fire anti-tank grenade launchers against the army vehicles.

Otis: The following information does not form part of the above Milenio article but is intended to give some background on "El Tigre".

When Heriberto Lazcano and Miguel Angel Trevino voted for Los Zetas to split with the Cartel del Golfo, they denounced El Tigre, who was trying to arrange a meeting between the heads of CdG and Los Zetas or "the company" as they were known then to CdG.

At the meeting, Los Zetas did not show up but the Army did and arrested El Tigre, the inference being that Los Zetas had given him up.

At the end of that month, seeking revenge for the death of one of their men, Concord 3 who was chief financier of Los Zetas,they issued an ultimatum to the Cartel del Golfo, deliver Samuel "Metro 3" Flores Borrego or face the consequences. CdG responded by expelling Los Zetas from Reynosa and other cities. M3 was eventually killed.

    1. 718. Imagine how many years innocents are in jail or prison without due process in Mexico. Believe it or not, some are in there for the protection from the outside forces. Although easier to survive on the outside, it is not easier for legal system to be forgiven

    3. I wonder if they give sentence reductions to compensate for time served. If so, El Tigre’s escolta should be free already.

    4. Due process? In Mexico? LOL This is a wonderful country blessed for rapists, mass murderers, serial killers & pedophiles. This is a country that advertises impunity. Where every one from the taco vender to the president can murder and rape at will and the most get arrested but immediately released. Even in prison you can do what you want for a few bucks and even leave upon your own for “work release” go out assassinate people and check back in for a late dinner and nap.

  4. What happens in Mexico when you get a 4-year sentence but you’ve already got 8 years of time served?

    1. well, you tell the inmate he has to dig a trench in the prison yard and then lay in it while several guards/hacks walk by and rip a few into the skull. TIME SERVED! They do not deserve to be released, if and when they are however they need to be dropped off in the middle of a rival’s disputed plaza with a sandwich board sign (like Bruce Willis) declaring the local jefe/capo a complete bitch and on the other side of the sign call him out that he is a sissy whore LMAO!! End of sentence, time served with chainsaws and axes.

  6. Why not in the USA where prison is real for a cartel boss ? Seems to me they just expend their operations while in Mexican prisons . Probably even get a new wife in there and live together and combine their criminal resource Raphael Caro Quintero .
    We gonna get RCQ and keep him in the USA
