With regards to the confirmation of the death of Heriberto Lazcano, Treviño Morales statements have assisted Seido who have now completed the preliminary investigations, which had remained open until last month.
This was due to the PGR failing to legally prove the death of the former leader of Los Zetas, as the samples obtained by the Attorney General of Coahuila and genetic testing conducted by the PGR using the remains of bodies believed to be the parents of Lazca, were inconclusive, so did not help in legally confirming the death.
Currently, the Z-40 is subject to a single criminal proceeding in which is judged to be suspect organized crime, violations of the Federal Firearms and Explosives and operations with illegal proceeds (money laundering ).
