Tomás "N", alias "El Tomazín", considered one of the main generators of violence in the municipality of Tuxtepec, Oaxaca, was arrested.

The subject, who worked as a hit man for the Cartel de los Zetas, is linked to at least 30 homicides, the Federal Police (PF) reported this afternoon.

"Derived from office and field investigations, elements of the corporation completed an arrest warrant against the alleged killer, who apparently is related to Los Zetas with a presence in the Papaloapan Basin, Veracruz, and Tuxtepec, Oaxaca".


To carry out the execution of the warrant, federal agents implemented an operation in the municipality of Fortín de las Flores, Veracruz, where Tomás "N" was captured, without a shot being fired.

The alleged criminal was placed at the disposal of the corresponding ministerial authority, who will continue with the subsequent inquiries to determine their legal status.

After splitting from the Gulf Cartel, Los Zetas became the most violent criminal group in Mexico in the course of a decade and a priority "target" of the authorities during the government of President Enrique Peña Nieto.

In the last 5 years, at least 33 of its main leaders have been arrested or killed by the authorities in operations: 28 are apprehended and 5 are killed in different actions.

The Zetas are followed by the Pacific Cartel with 21 detainees and 3 killed; the Cartel de Poniente with 17 apprehended; the Juarez Cartel with 7 captured; the Gulf Cartel with six and one, respectively.

In the list of the 122 priority objectives of the Federal Government there are also six detainees of the Beltrán Leyva; three of the Knights Templar and two more dead; three of the Jalisco Cartel New Generation and one dejected; of La Familia Michoacan two and one; of the Arellano Felix there are two apprehended and one dead of Los Rojos.

In total there are 109 "objectives" achieved, of which 95 have been arrested and the rest killed. From its split of the Gulf Cartel in 2010, the Zetas became a powerful and feared criminal group that operated in at least 22 of the 32 Mexican states, with more presence in the country than the Sinaloa Cartel, led by Joaquin. "El Chapo" Guzmán.

The US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) also reported Los Zetas operations in Central American countries such as Guatemala, where the authorities claimed that they had recruited elements of the so-called "kaibiles" group, a special force of the Guatemalan Army
