Sicario: The Cartel del Noreste then. What position do you hold?

Captive #2: I was contracted as a hitman.

Sicario: On whose orders did you guys execute La Diabla?

Captive #2: It was done on the orders of Alejandra Aluevanos aka La Gorda. 

Sicario: Alejandra Aluevanos aka La Gorda then. Where exactly is Alejandra Aluevanos from?

Captive #2: She’s from Ciudad Mante.

Captive #2: They were supposed to be pay us 15,000 pesos every 2 weeks. 

Sicario: 15,000 pesos biweekly then. What would you like to say to your buddies from the CDN?

Captives in unison say: Don’t commit another wrong act people. You’re all better off aligning yourselves with the Gulf Cartel. The armed criminal cell that we belonged to fled to Nuevo Laredo. Go ahead and commit yourselves to the Cartel del Golfo. And don’t commit another wrong act if you don’t want to experience what’s going to happen to us. 

* In a low voice the hitman encourages them to say: Espartanos Ciudad Mante.

Captives in unison say. We are the Spartans out of Ciudad Mante. 

Sicario: We are the absolute Gulf Cartel. Scorpion Group. 

* The hitmen haphazardly say: We are the absolute Gulf Cartel. Grupo Scorpion. 

* The last hitman that spoke is a Mexican American. 

Digital narco message reads as follows:

We’re coming after your corrupt scumbag ass. You chose to go to the wrong cartel. I don’t know how it is that you served the townspeople or the state. You’re a fucking traitor to the nation and the homeland. 

I will end up capturing you in the same manner that you ratted out, kidnapped and took the guard Jared Antonio Zamora Míreles to Ciudad Victoria. Antonio Romero Sánchez I will come for you in this manner. Therefore, you better watch your back. Remember that it is one world who watches over all. 

Victor Manuel Zenteno Quezada is the coordinator for the State Police. He’s also been linked to the execution of the guard Jared Antonio Zamora Míreles. He ordered the patrol units 1556 and 1497 to detain the victims vehicle. So that the CDN could abduct him in front of La Barandilla at 2 in the afternoon on Saturday the 25th of September. In addition they beheaded him. 

You’re not going to steal from us our peace in Ciudad Mante. With all due respect to the State Police agents and the general public. Whoever contributes information regarding these 2 scumbags from the Northeast Cartel. We will reward you with one million pesos. 

Without investigating the origin of the information as long as it’s true and accurate.

Sincerely, El 19 of Los Escorpiones
