[24], Garcia Abrego's reach became known when a United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent named Claude de la O, in 1986, stated in testimony against Garca brego that he received over US$100,000 in bribes and had leaked information that could have endangered an FBI informant as well as Mexican journalists. In goes into the extent, in a recent book called Tamaulipas; La casta de los narcogobernadores: un eastern mexicano is accused of being present while former governor Tomas Yarrington, also accused of involvements with DTOs of the Gulf Cartel, received illicit money from the Gulf Cartel to finance its campaign for governor.

[349] The Mexican drug cartels that operate in the area are currently employing gang members to distribute drugs and conduct other criminal activities on their behalf. [11][15], On 24 March 2010, the United States Department of the Treasury sanctioned Cano Flores under the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act (sometimes referred to simply as the "Kingpin Act"), for his involvement in drug trafficking along with fifty-three other international criminals and ten foreign entities. [262] On 7 November 2011, about 1,660 policemen were released from their duties because they had either failed their control tests or refused to take them.

[135] Other sources mention that one news reporter was also killed in the crossfire. [242] Authorities are still trying to understand how the prisoners escaped. [80], Upon the arrest of the Gulf Cartel boss Crdenas in 2003 and his extradition in 2007, the panorama for Los Zetas changedthey started to become synonymous with the Gulf Cartel, and their influences grew within the organization. [22] During the 1990s, the PGR(Procuradura General de la Repblica), the Mexican attorney general's office, estimated that the Gulf Cartel was "worth over US$10 billion.

[167], After this incident, there was a huge division of opinions over the fate of the Gulf Cartel. [335] The Economist mentioned in 1997 that the drug money from the Gulf Cartel in the Rio Grande Valley was perhaps moving about $20billion, and that around 15% of the retailers' gains were from drug money. [329] One leader of the Gulf Cartel confessed after his apprehension that "drug trafficking is their main business, but due to the difficulties they have been encountering, oil theft has been an important financial cushion" for the cartel. [136] This military-led operation was a result of more than six months of intelligence work. [263], Although there have been efforts by the federal government to wipe out police corruption, Terra Networks published an article of a witness who said that the police forces in Matamoros work as "informants for the Gulf Cartel" and report on the activity of the Mexican military, and even "wave at [the cartel members]" when they see them in the streets. Unbelievable! Pero desde hace algunos meses se ha sumado una nueva batalla: una divisin al interior del Cartel de Sinaloa en Durango, donde dos de tres grupos que lo conformaban decidieron separarse y disputarle a esa organizacin criminal las rutas de trfico de drogas por el estado, segn el oficial de la polica federal. When the hostilities began, the Gulf organization joined forces with its former rivals, the Sinaloa Cartel and La Familia Michoacana, aiming to take out Los Zetas. [64] They were enticed with salaries much higher than those of the Mexican Army. [251] Consequently, the federal government did not hesitate to assign the Mexican Army and the Federal Police to vigilate the prisons until further notice; they were also left in charge of searching for the fugitives. [244] In the border city of Reynosa, 85 inmates escaped from a prison on 10 September 2010. [352] Due to its multifaceted transportation networks and proximity to major production areas right across the border in Mexico, Texas is a major hub for drug trafficking. [140] Public transportation and school classes in Matamoros were canceled, along with the suspension of activities throughout the municipality, since the cartel members hijacked the units of public transport and made dozens of roadblocks to prevent the mobilization of the soldiers, marines, and federal police forces. [243] The authorities mentioned that the incident is "under investigation," but did not give further information. They pointedly noted that they had carried out executions and kidnappings under orders of the Gulf Cartel when they served as their enforcers, and they were created by them for that sole purpose. By constructing a tunnel, the cartel can get their product across the tight border security with the possibility of no detection. Cartel gunmen used at least three car bombs and superior firepower to storm a prison in central Mexico to break out a regional leader and eight of his top associates. After Osiel Crdenas Guilln took full control of the Gulf Cartel in 1999, he found himself in a no-holds-barred fight to keep his notorious organization and leadership untouched, and sought out members of the Mexican Army Special Forces to become the military armed-wing of the Gulf Cartel.

[39] Hours after the judge told Garca brego that he was going to spend the rest of his life in prison, the death penalty was out of the question for the prosecutors. [323], FBI agents have claimed that the Gulf Cartel moves millions of dollars in cash through the Rio Grande Valley each month, a tempting amount for many U.S. At the time of his extradition, U.S. authorities indicated that he faced a minimum prison sentence of ten years and a maximum penalty of life in prison for his charges.

[300] The Mexican Lucha libre wrestler Lzaro Gurrola, known as the Estrella Dorada (Golden Star), was also arrested for kidnapping people for the Gulf Cartel. [163] Moreover, his death also generated a turf war with Los Zetas in the city of Ciudad Mier, Tamaulipas, resulting in the exodus of more than 95% of its population. [203][204] Their conflict has even occurred on U.S. soil, where the Gulf Cartel killed two Zeta members in Brownsville, Texas on 5 October 2010.

[210] Consequently, Los Zetas joined forces with the Beltrn Leyva Cartel and the Tijuana Cartel to counterattack the opposing cartels. [81] Los Zetas began to grow independently from the Gulf Cartel, and eventually a rupture occurred between them in early 2010. [305] When victims are kidnapped by the drug cartels on American territory, kidnappers usually hide them in the trunk of a car and take them to Mexico.
