Yesterday morning, CJNG narcomantas were reported being circulated throughout the city of Saltillo, the capital of Coahuila. It says they have arrived, will clear out cartels now in operation, and gives warning to all who are cooperatives with the cartels.
The message orders cartels it claims are operating in the city; El Cartel Del Golfo, Los Zetas and El Cartel Del Noreste, and Sinaloa Cartel, to leave Saltillo within 72 hours.
The message chastises El Mayo Zambada and the children of El Chapo Guzmán, Ivan and Jesús Alfredo who are also known as "Los Menores ("The Minors) who tells them they should be ashamed of how low their cartel has fallen.
CJNG ended with a message to the Coahuila Governor Ruben Moreira. Stating “It is a pity that in the capital of your state, four cartels operate and no one did anything to get them out. We will.”
Also mentioned was that accusation that Moreira’s secretary Victora Zamora works together with “El Homer” and “El Jaguar”.
Zetas once had a lock on the state of Coahuila, reportedly because of collusion with Ruben’s brother the previous Governor of Coahuila, Humberto Moreira. Forbes Magazine placed Humberto on its list of “Ten Most Corrupt in Mexico”. His threats of suing Forbes never came to pass, as no one thought it would. Had a civil suit went forth, Humberto would have been mandated to give sworn testimony and deposition. That would have been great fun…for those of us following his alleged criminality and antics.
When he left office, and his brother was voted in, there was a bad split between the brothers. Ruben was rumored to immediately work against Zetas having complete control of the state, and made it possible for others, to operate, especially in the southern part of the state.
