During a meeting of the Veracruz coordination group over the weekend, President Yunes Linares announced the capture and dismantling of a gang of kidnappers who operated with Calderon Quintanilla, whom he announced as Brayan N, Ismael N, Jhonatan Luis N, and Christian N.

Following on from this, this morning on Calle Independencia in the Insurgentes colonia, in the municipality of Minatitlan, elements of the Public Security Secretariat and the State Attorneys Generals Office, found a burned vehicle, a red Versa with licence plates YKW9393.

Inside the car there was a narco manta signed by CJNG in which a reward of one million pesos is offered to anyone who gives information on the whereabouts of Calderon Quintanilla, El Cursi, but also for two alleged sicarios with the nicknames El Concha and El Pinto.




In addition, inside the burned out car, the sicarios of the CJNG left the body of a decapitated man, who remains unidentified to this point.

The content of the narco manta, according to a spokesman of the Secretariat of Public Security and shared by Ministerial Police said the following: "CJNG OFFERS A 1,000,000 REWARD TO WHOMEVER GIVES INFORMATION ON THE WHEREABOUTS OF EL CONCHA, EL PINTO, AND EL CURCI.

The body of the decapitated and burned man was transferred to the Medical Forensic Service of Cosoleacaque for identification.

In the south of Veracruz, which includes the municipalities of Acayucan, Minatitlan, Cosoleacaque, Coatzacoalcos, Sayula de Aleman, Las Choapas, among others, its has been historically the territory of Los Zetas, but the violence has intensified as a result of the detention in Cardenas, Tabasco, of the regional boss Hernan Martinez Zavaleta, El Commandante H, and from the despondency of Bernardo Cruz Mota, El Nino Sicario; and of Elias Aguirre Sanchez, El Metro.

He was recently arrested in the resort of Cancun, Quintana Roo, with Jose Giraldo Garcia, El Cubano, Los Zetas boss in Veracruz and Tabasco, with whom the subordinates  of this criminal organization maintain an internal struggle for control of the plaza, with the consequent execution of several members.

Because of this the upsurge in violence in southern Veracruz was exacerbated, because through executions and narco mantas the CJNG warned that it will take control of the plaza and annihilate Los Zetas, kidnappers, and extortionists.

In the Huasteca region, to the north of the state, Grupo Sombra dominates, a cell attached to the Cartel del Golfo. In the downtown area, in the state capital, the domain continues under Los Zetas Old School.

While in the presidency of Javier Duarte the criminal groups of Gente Nueva, Mata Zetas, Zetas and CJNG predominated, and with Yunes Linares there is a maelstrom of adjustments of accounts between Los Zetas cells, CJNG, Los Antrax, Sinaloa Cartel, Grupo Sombra, Cartel del Golfo and independent groups of huachicoleros.
