The patron founder of Los Zetas and former leader of the Gulf Cartel, Osiel Cárdenas Guillén has been returned to Mexico after serving his US sentence and was quickly re-arrested by Mexican authorities.
Cárdenas Guillén once led the feared Gulf Cartel before he was arrested and extradited to the United States in 2007.
US Homeland Security Department confirmed in its social media accounts Monday that Cárdenas Guillén had been returned after serving 14 years in US custody, most of his 25-year US prison sentence.

He is a Mexican citizen, so presumably he was deported. He was handed over at the San Diego-Tijuana border crossing.
A Mexican federal official who was not authorized to be quoted by name said Cárdenas Guillén had immediately been taken into custody in Mexico on drug, organized crime and money-laundering charges.
The official said Cárdenas Guillén was being held at the country’s top maximum-security Altiplano prison just west of Mexico City.

This is one I don’t get
ReplyDeleteI know Eduardo Arellano wasn’t and isn’t going to get back in the game but Osiel is a witness and a snitch and he’s headed right back into Mexico
Was this part of his own plan or the US just burning him? As a witness he can stay in the US if he wanted to. Look at Mayito, Damaso, Vicente
He had threatened the two US agents in Mexico, that may have something to do with it. There may have been some agreement too when he was extradited back then.
DeleteIn Mexico with the arrest of ranking capos there is more to the story than justice. Could be pressure from the existing criminal fabric of politicos and cartels to keep him out of the game or fleece him of $$$ to buy his way back into the game or to make sure he knows who is the boss before he is released back into the game or a any combination of the previous!
DeleteHe was late on his mordida payment… interest has been accrued…
Delete-Holden D. Cash
Can't wait for Benjamin Arrelano Felix to comeout, let's see what direction he takes with his sisters.
Delete@ Holden d Cash. Is that you Osiel? Last time you commented was around the same time he went away. He gets released and you're suddenly back up? Chava Gomez ghost is behind you...
DeleteNo he can’t stay in the US because he’s a witness. They never gave him that protection.
Delete@12:50 Mr. Min is retired.
DeleteSnitcher Truther snitched!!!
Delete@6:59 Chale… I’m Mr Steal Your Girlfriend not Mr MataAmigos…
Delete-Holden D. Cash
He’s a snitch but to get reduce time not to b part of the witness program they wouldn’t of deported him if he was
DeleteSo he's going to do more years in mexico now?
ReplyDeleteYes.
DeleteWhy would they let him out after ‘most’ of his sentence? That guy has hundreds if not thousands of bodies on his head. This isn’t a f-cking hit and run!!
ReplyDeleteThose murders were committed in Mexico he was locked up in the USA for the drugs he was pouring in he did his time but now he has to answer to Mexico for those bodies you mentioned
DeleteBecause this isn’t really about justice served. It’s about continuing to enforce this cat and mouse game so that when capos are arrested, the government can seize the money, squeeze information out of them, and let them out early. That’s the war on drugs.
DeleteInstead of actually punishing individuals who do this or addressing the drug issue as a health problem, we’ve made this a law enforcement issue.
@12.31. Your comment is so confused. "Instead of actually punishing individuals"? He just served most of 25 years in a supermax and now he's being deported by agreement to face who knows what. Of course the drug war is filled with bullshit, but do you think they should NOT seize the money, or squeeze them for info? Murder, kidnap, torture, everything Los Zetas did under his command- those were not "health problems", and they didn't arise from prohibition like some crimes.
DeleteAnd how did he get less than life?!
ReplyDeleteTiene sus dias contados en Mexico.
ReplyDeleteOsiel was a cooperating witness for Uncle Sam. Why did they extradite him? This is a death sentence.
ReplyDeleteThis is Osiel decision to return to Mexico, he was under witness protection given free housing and monthly allowance, just like V. Zambada, Mamito, etc.
DeleteNo he wasn’t lol he was fighting his deportation he loss and got deported. Y’all keyboard warriors say anything on these blogs lol
Delete8:21 Detroit, OCG cooperated with the USA to not get a life sentence like his predecessor Juan García Ábrego. Back in the early 2000's an extradition was to be feared, now the "Capos" will snitch on their own father's and immediate family and get a big time pass. OCG if I'm not mistaken was extradited on the same plane as "El Güero Palma" or "El JT". I think it was the former.
DeleteBetween his prison release and removal to México he was receiving his instructions. Ponte verga y arregla todo el puto desmadre que empezaste con tus ojetes. El negoció es para ganar no para andar de muerto de hambre.
Viva México cabrones!
''No he wasn’t lol he was fighting his deportation he loss and got deported''
DeleteYes why would he want to go back to Mex?
8:43
DeleteFalse. It only pays the first 6 months.
@8:21 if he was in witsec he would have been in a nice prison for his time.
DeleteWitness protection and cooperating witness are two different things. Osiel was not in witness protection.
Delete@10.55.. Abrego wasn't given the option to "snitch". It's completely different. When the US go after them as the head of an organisation having spent millions and trumpeted it in the media and pressured Mexico the option isn't there for them to "snitch".
DeleteHe wasn't getting instructions on the plane from anybody- this was extradition, not a local arrest- let alone Guerro Palma.
Let me guess, he did his time like a "champ" LOL.
ReplyDeleteoh no, not the original.
DeleteClose. He did his time like a tramp.
DeleteZetas Vieja Eecuela are mostly in mejor vida,Osielito is back,loads of his family still controls Matamoros....feels like big comeback..
ReplyDeleteMini lic in 20, if he pleads guilty and all that rat shit.
ReplyDeleteIf you were in his situtation you would even rat on yo momma .
Delete@3:13, not really. Most of us aren’t dumb enough to take a great second chance at life, (which let’s be honest, a drug dealing, murderous piece of shit like him should never have got) and throw it away by being dumb enough to traffic fentanyl. Dumb enough to traffic the most despicable shit while under court supervision in the U.S. for your past crimes. Fuck him and lock away the key.
DeleteI hope this dude meets a horrible end, he should never have been released. Pure psychopath.
ReplyDeleteAged well. This guy looks like my doctor in Ciudad Juárez.
ReplyDeleteAged well? He doesn’t look a day over 70
DeleteCardenas family still run half of Tamaulipas. I doubt he has no power or scared of his life.
ReplyDeleteHe’s scared you can see it in his girly face
DeleteCardenas family have power through contador. The cardenas meaning Osiel kids and his direct nephews don’t. Only contador. Contador is literally the only one. Y’all need to get off that cloud. If it was up to his nephew he would wack him today he just can’t get his hands on him
Delete@ 3:29 you don’t know what you talking about his kids has plenty of money and with wealth comes power. Especially in Mx
DeleteYou don’t know shit lol his kids don’t run shit. The last one who had power was his son in law married to Marlene and he got arrested already. Y’all are blog detectives lol y’all don’t know shit
DeleteAt 10:55 and you’re in Tamaulipas? His son in law had power because he married to his Daughter dumbass his brothers still in the game.
Delete10:55am if he didn’t have any influence in Matamoras then the would have wiped out his kids. But the live good over there and protected.
DeleteHis kids don’t live in matamoros no more: and Marlene which was the last one left after her husband started cooperating against contador after getting arrest in RGV
DeleteNone of you know none. He is that guy they made man apart about. Better we watch it
DeleteNo he’s not lmao 🤣
DeleteMaybe since he is back in Mexico he can reunite all of the Cartel del Golfo factions into one Cartel like before. It will be peaceful in Tamps once again. Nuff Said!!!
ReplyDeleteThat ain’t happening. Maybe if the people in charge where guys that worked for him back in the day, but they ain’t.
DeleteNuffy my local Denny's is hiring, dishwasher, it pays $16.00 an hour.

Copyright and Trademark infringement doesn't occur unless the person or people using "Nuff Said" start making money. I don't think the "imposter" got rich off of his post. SORRY. Try to take him to court and waste your money on attorney's fee's. Plus who gives a shit, it's fucking STUPID like you. Get a fucking job or a community college education and better yourself instead of being a butthurt bitch, LOL! Besides you should be flattered that someone is more dumb than you using " Nuff Said"! Instead you're on here proving to everyone how fucking stupid you are! LOL! Get a life and get out of yo momma's basement damn!
DeleteThere are many parellel universes, just as there are many nuff saids!!!
DeleteGet over your narcissistic ways, the predictions of the ancient soothsayers have come true, and the complete nuffyfication of the world has begun.
From this day forward, EVERYBODY is a nuffy!!!
9:39 "Very well respected him and his father". OCG and his Father? It's sort of a mystery who his father is. Perhaps those closer to Matamoros and its underworld history know more. Care to elaborate?
Delete@6.09. B.B Follower 4 Life.
DeleteYou rant about the intricacies of trademark infringement to a dude who was obviously joking?
@Nuff Said!!! You must know by now that anything you say is instantly undermined by your sign off. If my sign off was EAT MY SHIT MUTHAFUCKKER!!!!!! and I was writing a heartfelt tribute to an innocent victim then best not to write anything at all.
Once you get to the exclamation marks everything you write sounds like a kid flapping their hands in excitement about something they shouldn't be excited about.
Yeah I know I'm a bitter old bastard. Just drop the exclamation marks dude, they make me twitch.
La Kena and Primito are going to be good friends under the tuterage of tio Osiel lol pobre alucin
DeleteThe Mexican justice system is going to slap murder and drug trafficking charges on him, that's why he is back in jail. He's going to do a lot of time in a Mexican prison and I don't see him getting out for a long time.
ReplyDeleteEveryone here talking about Osiel is back and this and that. Osiel had lawyers fighting his deportation. He wasn’t trying to come back to Mexico. He knew he had charges pending and a lot of ppl want him dead. Starting with his nephew Contador and 40. It’s going to be interesting how things play out for him. He is definitely going to be incarcerated for a while in Mexico.
ReplyDeleteI believe that if he orders his nephew dead it wld get done. There are many people in matamoros that are still loyal to him. Plus el contador is not very popular even amongst his own family. Mario Cardenas is also out of prison. And el contador was freed in mexico and didnt make the news but apparently the matamoros faction is making incursions into reynosa. As soon as el contador hit the street the war is heating up again.
Delete@2.28. There are people in Matamoros who are loyal to the idea of him. To the old Osiel, not the broken man who can barely string a sentence together.
DeleteEl Contador wants him dead, you sure about that? Yes I know there are rumors in that vein, on the flip side there have been strong rumors that El Contador has always taken orders from Osiel via son-in-laws. Time will tell.
DeleteEveryone knows Contador and Gordo (Osiel son in law) NEVER got along lol idk where y’all get y’all info I’m assuming these blogs. Osiel tried his best to not get deported. It’s literally public records the motions he presented. He was in fear for his life bc his nephew wants him dead. Everyone knows that in matamoros. His direct family meaning his kids, don’t even live in matamoros any more. His son in law is a cooperating witness against contador
DeleteEveryone knows Contador and Gordo Villarreal never got along? News to me. If you're talking to me there's a links to every piece of information. With that said I'm open to the possibility they don't get along but I'd love to see references to it somewhere, not just "everyone knows".
DeletePpl who actually live in matamoros know, not blogers who get info from blogs. Since gordo was arrested and started cooperating against contador it was their last straw. Osiel not his kids run nothing. It’s all contador and his sons. Even Betito didn’t return back to the city after being released. Why? Because contador wants to wack all of them. Contador is the sole leader of CDG matamoros. The last of Osiel left with his son in law
DeleteY’all just run with everything y’all see on blogs. Come down to the city and it’s as clear as day who runs it.
Deleteif that’s news to you then you’re not doing your job right or have no clue about what you write. I’m assuming y’all just copy and paste like Sol did. Everyone knows since gordo went away they were cut off because he gave information on contador.
Delete@2:53 When was Gordo Villarreal arrested? I believe you are confusing him with Cuate Martinez. Marlene lives in the United States, Yaya Cardenas is a different story.
Delete@3:00 Please point to an article that I wrote that is a copy and paste. You know what they say about assuming...
DeleteBoth yaya and Marlene live in the states. You’re right, cuate was arrested and gordo fled to the states was confusing them. But gordo house been empty since last year. None of Osiel ppl who still held on to his power are active here in the city no more. Contador made sure of that. Yes I can’t accuse you of copying and paste just bc of others on your blog I apologize for that. Yes Osiel name and last name carried heavy weight once upon a time. Since his daughters husbands both started going against contador it was over them.
Delete@2.53. "People who actually live in Matamoros know"...
DeleteI always found that the further you went from a place the clearer things would become. Not too far obviously, but just enough to see the wood from the trees, and not too far that you'd get sucked into another orbit and have a whole new group of people in a news blackout getting their info from the streets.

Is drug trafficking not a crime in Mexico?
ReplyDeleteHow is it that a well known Drug Cartel figure, has absolutely NO charges pending for drugs? Lmao
Double jeopardy?
DeleteTrakas hspm
ReplyDeleteWaiting on Benjamin Arrellano Felix to come out now 😁
ReplyDeleteBenjamin was Osiel’s bitch lol
DeleteOsiel Cárdenas le dieron una putiza los krikosos de la eme .
DeleteThat's Koo foo
DeleteReleased , deported , and then re arrested again for pending charges in Mexico. Same thing happened to Javier Torres, El Güero Palma, etc ..
ReplyDeleteEvery pic of this dude he has the most evil look ever. Tie between him and Miguel Trevino Morales. You can see the complete pyscho demonic look.
ReplyDeleteReally? I never saw it in any of his pictures .. I would lose no sleep over this guy.
DeleteNobody is losing sleep, they just made a comment. Tranquilo.
DeleteLOL. I tested this after somebody said that El Mamito was clearly a psychopath judging by his eyes when he was paraded. "You can tell by the look in his eyes".. I called bullshit.
DeleteI put 200 photos together and told them to pick the evil ones, and they picked doctors, care workers, unemployed labourers, before they picked Zetas. (Except for Jaime Duran, El Hummer, but he always looked wrong)
His hair went grey and white but his eyebrows didn’t get the message to follow suit 😄 Looks like the Mexican version of Eugene Levy 😄
ReplyDeleteI remember reading that Osiel had BAF get a vicious beating in Altiplano for a disagreement back in the early 2000s. Does that have any shred of truth?
ReplyDeleteHe got the guards to beat him up. Back when Osiel had full control over Altiplano. He even manage to get a cell phone one time and called the news station on live tv to complain about his soon extradition
DeleteYes that actually happened.. poor basterd almost died.. but then karma came and it happened to Osiel in usa..
DeleteYes that actually happened.. poor basterd almost died.. but then karma came and it happened to Osiel in usa..
DeleteOsiel even lended BAF $100,000dlls I believe for his legal battle. I mean didn’t the Aretes control a border and amass a multi-million dollar fortune by shipping out tons of product and collecting plaza tax ? Why would Osiel lend BAF any money? If anything I think the Arellano clan are far wealthier than the Cardenas family.
DeleteOf course BAF had more money than Osiel.. the Tijuana plaza is more lucrative than all of Tamaulipas state combined
Delete14 years is most of a 25 year sentence? Try that with the IRS folks!
ReplyDeletePlus the 4 yrs he was in jail in Mexico that they counted also
DeleteStill doesn’t qualify for „most of his sentence“.
DeleteHe did 21 yrs total. That literally amounts to most of his sentence. Anyone in the feds does 21 yrs off 25
DeleteHow many stories were about zetas,cdg and things in whic osiel had his fingers in.and now hes out and 21 comment.Bb reporters are good just in translating finished articles but they dont even think to make step forward and wrote article in their name.
ReplyDeleteIt’s write
DeleteIt’s write

DeleteThey are onboard, strictly volleenteer basis. Writing on their own takes more time. You want to write articles on your own, without getting paid?
Things change over time you know? Many have jobs and family. Then having time for hours and hours daily to do research and cross checking and writing large articles for free is not easy. How about you and doing some work. Just put your money to your mouth and start writing.
DeleteI am happy that we still have some ppl left translating articles and often adding some additional info to it.
Kudos to BB!
You can’t write such articles unless you are boots on the ground here or have primary sources (BB doesn’t and I’ve pointed this out in the past.) It’s a legitimate criticism and yes, the majority of the content is recycled and doesn’t seem to have a rhyme or reason to how it’s curated. Unfortunately (for all of us interested), absent primary sources, providing satisfying and substantive content is impossible because these matters are not well investigated, prosecuted, documented, or published here in Mexico. In the US, particularly after prosecutions, it’s common that organizational roles, structure, operations, and participants have been illuminated which leads to a better understanding of the dynamics of that or similar organizations moving forward. Everything I have read here and elsewhere about Mexican DTOs leaves me with the impression of a blind man touching and describing the ear of an elephant. In most cases, we have a very very broad strokes painting of the criminal landscape here.
Delete@2:05 Yeah we've had this conversation before. Got it, I should stop writing because I am unable to do so in the way you think is proper.
Delete2:05 your on the wrong site.
DeleteGo to True Trump.com
@2:05...…Why don't you enlighten us all. You're no one to tell anyone else what to write about or not write about. If you're not a fan of the content, simply don't read the articles or posts. These folks at BB are volunteers. No matter your opinions, BB is the most reliable source for news about the Mexican underworld.
Delete@2.05. "You can't write such articles unless you are boots on the ground"? People with their boots on the ground are too worried about staying alive to explain the details to people like you. These aren't roving investigative journalists paid to parachute into Tamaulipas and shadow Zeta leaders for a scoop, they assemble dozens of articles to give people an idea of what is happening in Mexico. Read Itzlis stuff- the sourcing is more like a historian than a journalist, and it's brilliant. Don't shoot the messenger.

ReplyDeleteHe did get arrested.
DeleteIs he still mad at the EME?
DeleteHe can't decide to live in Reynosa or Matamoros?
DeleteThey call him "mata amigos". Maybe the chickens have come home to roost.
ReplyDeleteNobody called him that though. It was a catchy little phrase based on a rumour spread by authorities to journalists, and US media ran with it. I've even seen reputable sources calling him "Osiel Cardenas-Guillen aka El Mata Amigos". Like it was an alias, or a
Deletenickname.
