Mexican authorities reported Sunday that they arrested Mario Alberto Cárdenas Medina, alias ‘El Betito’, who is the nephew of the ex-leader of the Gulf Cartel, Osiel Cárdenas Guillén, said to be responsible for the crime of organized crime, and arms trafficking.
The capture was made in the State of Mexico, reported the Office of the Attorney General of the Republic (FGR), and arrested with him was a woman identified as Miriam “M”.
The general coordinator of Research Methods of the FGR, Felipe de Jesús Gallo, confirmed that the subject was captured for arms trafficking and crimes against health.
In a press conference the authorities informed that Cárdenas was arrested by federal ministerial police in the municipality of Naucalpan, State of Mexico, which borders the capital of the country.
‘El Betito’ carried a firearm with 10 cartridges, four cell phones and narcotics.
Cárdenas Medina is the son of Mario Cárdenas Guillén, known as El M1, founder of the Los Metro faction, captured in the city of Altamira, Tamaulipas, in the year of 2012, sentenced to 20 years in prison for organized crime, he has an arrest warrant for extradition at the request of the United States government.
The two persons arrested were transferred and placed at the disposal of the agent of the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office, attached to the Deputy Prosecutor’s Office specialized in Investigation of Organized Crime.
El M1
Cárdenas Guillen led the Gulf Cartel in its last years of growth. The criminal organization is based in the state of Tamaulipas, but also operates in the northern zone and the Gulf of Mexico.
The criminal organization was led at its best by his brother Osiel Cárdenas Guillén who after his arrest and extradition in 2003 caused the weakening of the Gulf Cartel.
In his place was Ezequiel Cárdenas Guillén, alias ‘Tony Tormenta’, who is brother of Osiel and Mario. He suffered the rupture of the Gulf Cartel and the organization of “Los Zetas”, which served as his armed wing until it became an independent adversarial criminal organization.
“Tony Tormenta” was killed in a confrontation with the Armed Forces in the year of 2010, which is how Mario Cárdenas Guillen ‘El Gordo’ took charge of the cartel.
Tamaulipas under violence
Mario Cárdenas Guillen was imprisoned in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, where he was still handling drug trafficking. He was transferred to another jail in the state of Jalisco where he was subsequently released.
The Gulf cartel was weakened, which led to disagreements within the organization, and several dissenting cells were born.
This resulted in the creation of ‘Los Metros’, led by José Eduardo Costilla Sánchez, , ‘El Coss’, who was a municipal policeman in Matamoros.
Both ‘El Coss’ and Mario Cárdenas Guillen maintained an internal dispute over the leadership of the Gulf cartel.
The two were arrested in 2012 which left a wave of violence in the state of Tamaulipas.
Cárdenas Guillen was in a neighboring cell of Joaquín ‘El Chapo’ Guzmán Loera, leader of the Sinaloa cartel, in the Altiplano prison until he escaped in 2015.
In Tamaulipas, the Office of the Attorney General of the Republic has detected seven criminal cells that still operate in the entity; of them ‘Los Rojos’ and ‘Los Metros’ are the most violent.
