28 Gulf Cartel Members Found Guilty


The Monitor -- 28 Gulf Cartel members were arrested in Matamoros and announced guilty by Mexican authorities. These members were found guilty of engaging in organized criminal activity, crimes against public health, possession of restricted weapons and possession of military ammunition and explosives. The group was arrested by Mexican Marines and seized 55 assault rifles, 11 handguns, two rocket launchers, 21 grenades, 340 ammunition magazines, a large number of ammunition rounds, two trucks, $394,000 in U.S. currency and 560,000 pesos. It is highly possible that arms trafficking within the U.S. and Mexico is a criminal tactic that cartel groups are making in attempt to gain power and wealth. One of the 28 cartel members is Juan Francisco Martinez Manzanares, known to have led all members into criminal activity.
