A federal judge ordered the formal imprisonment of Osiel Cárdenas Guillén, alias “Mata Amigos” and founder of the Zetas criminal group, for his probable criminal responsibility in the crime of organized crime in the hypothesis of crimes against health.

The Attorney General's Office (FGR), informed that the measure was obtained through the Specialized Prosecutor's Office for Organized Crime (FEMDO), in coordination with the Specialized Prosecutor's Office for Regional Control (FECOR), in the State of Mexico.

According to the investigation, Osiel Cardenas belonged to a criminal organization “in which he allegedly exercised leadership and made alliances with members of various criminal gangs, in addition to trafficking drugs in the Port of Lazaro Cardenas, Michoacan, Guerrero, Tamaulipas and internationally,” said the Attorney General's Office in a statement.

After the evidence provided by the agent of the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office (MPF), the Fourth District Court in Criminal Matters with residence in Toluca, issued a formal order of imprisonment against this person, in the Federal Center of Social Reinsertion number 1 “Altiplano”, in Almoloya de Juárez.

Cárdenas Guillén was deported from the United States to Mexico on December 16.

It should be noted that, in the last week, an arrest warrant was served on him in prison for the probable commission of the crime of homicide.
