Emotionless: This Is How 'Z40', One Of Mexico's Most Brutal Criminal Leaders Is Described

"Sol Prendido" for Borderland Beat

His habits and methods turned Tamaulipas and Coahuila into the scene of a bloody war.

Z40, one of the most brutal criminal leaders in Mexican history

Ten years after the arrest of Miguel Angel Treviño, Z40, one of the most brutal criminal leaders in Mexican history, new details about his business dealings and shady hobbies have been aired in US courts.

The DEA estimates that the Zetas leader personally murdered more than 500 people. His habits and methods turned Tamaulipas and Coahuila into the scene of a bloody war.

U.S. prosecutors investigating Los Zetas were able to learn that Z40 had several doctors on his payroll, dedicated to researching the most effective methods to kill without leaving traces.

They identified a type of Botox that caused a heart attack and was undetectable in an autopsy. With that information, Z40 experimented on the people he "abducted" on a daily basis.

The doctors also treated the wounded hitmen in the war with the Gulf Cartel, with its epicenter in Miguel Aleman, Tamaulipas.

"He loved killing people," said José María Guízar Valencia, El Z43, one of his former trusted operators. He recalled that the victims took approximately 40 minutes to die: "He liked to see people suffer. And more than anything, towards the people who were close to him, to cause fear and psychosis so that we would not betray him."

In an affidavit, Z43 recalled that Miguel Angel Treviño's hitmen and people close to him feared being killed or tortured by their boss.

"He personally used his weapon, a knife or some object, sometimes baseball bats. Hanging, dragging, crushing them with trucks, all kinds," noted El Z43: "He was an emotionless person. He had no emotions. He had no empathy. He killed people every day and experimented. He was a psychopath. He was sick.

But his experience went far beyond that. He saw how El Z40 took revenge against those who betrayed or tried to betray him.

An 18-year-old girl who was dating a Zeta hitman and at the same time dating a soldier. When Treviño Morales found out, he kidnapped her and her mother.

"They took her to Allende, Coahuila, where these people were from. They took her behind a hotel and took her nose. First, they killed her mother in front of her because she was giving information to the soldiers about the Zetas' movements. They blew her nose off with an MP5. Then they hit her in the ears. They hit her in the face, on her cheeks. And the young woman begged to be killed because she was suffering. And she was screaming in pain.

"And the mother, who was supposed to be dead at that point, got up and fought with him and said, 'you dog, leave my daughter.' ' And we all freaked out because she was supposed to be dead.

And Miguel Angel Treviño said, 'Did you see that,' and he put the MP5, put it in automatic mode and shot it to see what would happen. And she fell. At this point, he continued playing with the young woman, shooting her in the legs. She was screaming for them to kill her."

Z40 continued the torture until the young woman could no longer stand up. Then he executed her.

In another scene, Treviño Morales ordered his hitmen to dress up in Mexican Federal Preventive Police uniforms to go to a house to kill a woman with Botox. Shortly after, it was revealed that the woman was Z40's mother-in-law.

The woman had told Miguel Angel's children, her grandchildren, not to get into the same car as their father for fear that something would happen to them. It angered the Zeta leader, who tricked his wife into believing that Mexican police had killed her mother.

His "guisos" also became known among the inhabitants of Tamaulipas and Coahuila. Together with his hired killers, they burned people in 200 liter drums with a mixture of gasoline and diesel.

Today, El Z40 is being held in Mexico to avoid extradition to the United States.

      Idk i feel like if I was in the joint in the US and I went in the cell with z40 and pulled out two blades and told him lets catch the blades. I have a feelin he’ll start back peddlin. Its easy to pretend to be a killer when the odds are in ur favor. When its a level playing field, I feel like most these capos would bitch up. They aint real gangsters. They just happened to have good mouth pieces and happened to be in the right place at the right time and capitalized on certain situations that put them in play to be able to manipulate hundreds if not thousands of individuals into idolizing these pos.

    6. @1:53 I could be wrong. Most these paisas I met in the joint aren’t really about that life. Them paisas frfr dont even like catching a fade heads up. So idk.

      @432 religion in the penitentiary is a mental escape, no one turns religious out of fear.

    14. 6:42 you obvously never done time if you think mfs aint catching fades. I was at a USP mfs catching them onesies all day. Especially if catching a fade avoids a bigger issue. Them paisas aint about shit in the joint. I know. Thats why they mind their business and arent very active. They stay doing mfs laundry and sewing shoes. And puttin canicas on eachother. Bunch of caquino ass paisas. The only foos that think theyre hard in the paisa car are the undercover gangmembers or dropouts that are hiding behind the paisa flag.

    2. A psychopath, like someone as Z40, typically has a distinct lack of empathy, shallow emotions, and often exhibits antisocial behaviors. Psychopathy is a personality disorder characterized by traits such as superficial charm, manipulativeness, and a lack of remorse or guilt.

      For someone like this to feel anything, it often doesn't align with the typical emotional experiences most people have. They may not experience genuine emotions such as love, empathy, or deep sadness. However, they can still experience other types of feelings, such as:

      Thrill or Excitement: Psychopaths might feel a sense of excitement or thrill, especially when engaging in risky or dangerous activities. This sensation is often sought after due to their need for stimulation and lack of fear.

      Frustration or Anger: While they may not feel empathy, psychopaths can still experience frustration or anger, particularly when their desires or plans are thwarted.

      Pleasure: They can feel pleasure, but it's often derived from achieving their goals, manipulating others, or experiencing power and control over situations or people.

      Boredom: A common trait among psychopaths is a tendency to feel bored easily, which can drive their need for stimulation and engagement in risky behaviors.

  14. The right punishment for these kind of scumsucking animals would be cutting off their arms and legs and let them live like that, making sure that they they don’t put themselves out of their misery. It would be a much worse fate than death. And it would be so, so much well deserved.

    4. A lot of ppl believe that Lazcano faked his death or 40 sent military so many conspiracies. Honest truth. He died by pure bad luck. And the ppl that were actually close to Lazcano knew he has kidney cancer. Was bad. That’s why 40 took over way before Lazcano died. Look at the pics of Lazcano body where he was shot. That’s why he has the faja wrapped around his waist/stomach. He had been sick months. Military was bought by Lazcano. They had no clue they had just killed him. 40 went for the body. Had him with him 2 days getting fuxked up before he gave him to lazcanos sisters.

    5. 7:56/10:13 okay I'll believe you instead of what La Ardilla "volunteered" and the messages he had with Z3 on his phone after he was captured. Alejandro Treviño Chavez killed➡️Lalo killed➡️Ardilla captured and "interviewed"➡️Lazcano located, "resisted" and killed by MARINA all within days of each other. No coincidence at all. Z40? New Boss of Los Zetas until his capture. Lazcano was connected to the top, Los Zetas were going to be favored by the new administration just as they were by Beto pero la cago El Verdugo y por eso se lo quebraron. Calderón ni pío dijo acerca de esa muerte, el no la ordenó.

We had one where a Z woman lit these estatales with a M16 from a moving vehicle. This was leaving Yerbanis towards Gómez Palacio and the welts on the wall remained for years. All the rancheros were terrified of her. I don't remember hearing if she ever got caught up.

    1. “ Word on the streets is if you looked into his eyes you'd wake up in heaven (or hell if you like pineapple on pizza).”

      This is what happens when there is no accountability: criminals can behave as if they are Gods walking among humans. In less corrupt countries, there are criminals, of course, but they have to adopt a low profile approach to go about their businesses, in Mexico if you have an argument with someone at the gym and it turns out that he is a cartel member, he can kill you and your entire family with no accountability at all

    And the people of Mexico have got used to that. The Cartel typically don't live long lives, but their altered reality slithers among the people everyday. These are dark times despite the great advances.
