On October 21we were sent a link to an audio recording which was posted on the Face book page “Río Bravo Zona De Peligro”.
While there is no way for us to verify its authenticity, there has been a development that makes it worthwhile to post the story.
Translation of the audio narrative
This is difficult but what makes sense is that there are 2 lines of communication going on simultaneously. I believe there is the cell phone communication between CDG comandantes Chiricuas and Wero (guero) Cleofas, and also an open radio frequency communication with comandante Toro which is referred to but Toro is unheard. (Julian Manuel "Comandante Toro" Loisa Salinas)
In the recording Chiricuas is off the rails high and does most the speaking. At first there is a little banter back and forth, Chiricuas then says that Los Zetas cartel is back in Cuidad Mier.
Mier a border city in Tamaulipas was the site of the 2010 CDG/Zetas massive combat over control of it and other cities. This was at the time of the split between the two former allies. Mier was ground zero of the battle. It was the first Mexican city where citizens were told to leave or be killed. In the mass exodus that followed, thousands of families had nowhere to go, and shelters were set up in nearby cities such as San Miguel Aleman. BB administrator Chivis Martinez and her foundation took supplies to the Mier SMA shelter, read about that troubling experience by linking here.
In the audio, car bombs are discussed. Chiricuas tells Wero of the plans to detonate car bombs in the vehicles of the Fuerza Tamaulipas. He says this is for retaliation of the heavy hits against Metros (CDG) of Reynosa by the Fuerza.
Also discussed was a reference to “Capo Leal Moncada" (Narco Viejo) saying he was told when he wants to see Jefe Toro about send a car bomb for the police, to tell the Jefe of Victoria. He refers to the police as “fucking polinegros, poliguachos, poliazules, polimarinos”.
Subsequent to the recording being broadcast on October 21, (the same day we were sent the link), on the Face book page “Río Bravo Zona De Peligro”, others picked up the story over the next few days.
A week or so later a narco manta appeared allegedly from “Toro”.
The translated text:
Mr. President Enrique Peña Nieto, Governor Egidio Torre Cantú, Mayor Pepe Elias Leal and the State Police Force of Tamaulipas, Fedral Police, Sedena and Marina, this message is for you, to make it clear, I am a drug trafficker, I am not a terrorist , as announced through social media, where it said that I want to use car bombs to unleash a dirty war.
There is no justification, I am outside the bounds of the law, but I repeat, I am a drug trafficker. I am also seen as a kidnapper and extortionist but check your files, and you will see these crimes have decreased since I have been at the helm.
Also, why not make public about what happened with the 8 million pesos and 158,000 U.S. Dollars that was inside the white van that was seized in Los Arcos
In the end you are the same or worse than us, because you are criminals also, the only difference is that you use the police to commit your abuses and violations.
Sincerely,
Comandante Toro and CDG
