MEXICO CITY — A man who helped start one of Mexico’s most notorious criminal organizations has been arrested, adding to the list of high-profile kingpins the police and the military have arrested or killed in the past year.

The federal police said they arrested Flavio Méndez Santiago — known as El Amarillo, or the yellow one — on Monday outside Oaxaca, the capital of Oaxaca State in southwest Mexico.

A police statement said Mr. Santiago, 35, directed operations in three southern states for the group, Los Zetas, which originated in the early 1990s as a collection of former soldiers serving as enforcers for the Gulf Cartel.

They've also been interfacing with the 'Ndrangheta, one of the traditional three Mafias of Italy. That's not good at all.

mara salva trucha, ms-13

MS-13 doesn't have a core of ex-military vets who've turned into dug kingpins.

of the original zetas is not what it used to be, and if you think the cancer of ms-13 is small here in the U.S. your wrong they have a huge population scattered here, in almost every state and every major city!!

...and we can see it from our back yard!

As Mexico's oil production continues to plummet, we will come to realize that we ain't seen shit yet.

I give it 10 years before we're facing an all-out war on the border.
