On the dark side of Mexico, the North East Cartel (Cártel del Noreste) is facing an unprecedented internal power struggle. The North East Cartel was founded as a splinter group from Los Zetas, amid violence, betrayal and struggle for profits. Behind the scenes, the thrilling story reveals how power and money tear a group apart.
Historical BackgroundThe Norte Orient Cartel, whose main criminal activities include kidnapping, extortion and drug dealing, has taken control of the city of Nuevo Laredo, which is their main base.
The North East Cartel traces its origins to the Treviño Morales family. The family has a rich criminal history, with all six members engaging in illegal activities at an early age. Over time, they gradually established a complete operating system in the local area, which made their position in Nuevo Laredo more and more solid.
"His main advantages are his fluent English and connections to the United States, which helped the cartel's drug trafficking operations."
As the brothers struggle for power, the fortunes of the Treviño brothers change rapidly. Many members accused the youngest brother, Juan Francisco, of betraying the other leaders, leading to the split in Los Sutas. Under such circumstances, the fate of the North East Cartel moved step by step towards destruction and rebirth.
The arrest of Omar Treviño Morales (codename Z-42) in 2015 further deepened the power struggle within the organization. As the different factions clashed, the North East Cartel eventually emerged as the criminal overlord of the region.
"These internal power struggles not only reveal the fragility of criminal organizations, but also reveal how violence and money dominate their decision-making."
Since its inception, the North East Cartel has undergone several changes in leadership. The inauguration of Juan Gerardo Treviño Morales, alias El Huevo, marked the beginning of a new wave of conflicts and challenges. With multiple arrests and alternations of power, order within the cartel has become increasingly unstable.
"Under the dual pressures of violence and profit, how will the North East Cartel choose its future?"
In the vortex of power struggle, the North East Cartel not only faces crackdowns from the government, but also needs to deal with the growing suspicion and distrust among its members. Although the organization has consolidated its control over Nuevo Laredo, the hidden danger of internal conflict may break out at any time, making the future of this criminal group full of uncertainty.
"What is the real intention of the North East Cartel in such a fierce internal struggle?"
The fate of the North East Cartel remains undecided as a new wave of arrests and a reshuffle of power within the group continues. Behind all this, how many unknown stories and conflicts are continuing to unfold?
