A medida que M\u00e9xico espera a ver lo que va a suceder a ra\u00edz de la captura del temido l\u00edder de los Zetas, Miguel \u00c1ngel Trevi\u00f1o, alias Z40, un comandante del su rival el Cartel del Golfo est\u00e1 siendo considerado como un posible candidato para hacer una jugada violenta para hacerse al poder en el noreste del pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mario Armando Ram\u00edrez Trevi\u00f1o, alias X20, que lidera una facci\u00f3n del dividido Cartel del Golfo, conocida como los Metros y consolid\u00f3 su poder sobre la organizaci\u00f3n tras la captura en septiembre de 2012 de Eduardo Costilla, alias \u201cEl Coss\u201d; podr\u00eda ser incluso m\u00e1s violento que Trevi\u00f1o, su ca\u00edda contraparte Zeta, dijo el diario mexicano El Universal<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n El peri\u00f3dico predice que Ram\u00edrez tratar\u00e1 de recuperar \u201cplazas\u201d, la jerga del hampa mexicana para referirse a los corredores del narcotr\u00e1fico, empezando con \u201cFrontera Chica\u201d, una zona de alto valor en Tamaulipas en la frontera con Texas; la cual ha estado en disputa desde al menos 2010, cuando el Golfo y los Zetas tuvieron una ruptura violenta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n X20 es lo suficientemente poderoso como para tomar el mando de los Zetas, afirm\u00f3 el peri\u00f3dico, e incluso podr\u00eda tener el potencial para reunir nuevamente al Cartel del Golfo y su ex brazo armado para formar una nueva organizaci\u00f3n formidable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Al igual que los Zetas, el Cartel del Golfo ha estado sumido en luchas internas<\/a> en los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os, divisiones en las que X20 ha desempe\u00f1ado un papel importante. Una divisi\u00f3n entre dos facciones \u2013los Rojos, leales al encarcelado ex l\u00edder Osiel C\u00e1rdenas Guill\u00e9n; y los Metros, partidarios de El Coss y Ram\u00edrez\u2013 ha visto como se matan entre ellos o se delatan para ser capturados por las autoridades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n La oposici\u00f3n m\u00e1s formidable de Ram\u00edrez, el l\u00edder de los Metros David Salgado, alias \u201cMetro 4\u201d, fue asesinado en enero<\/a> en Reynosa, posiblemente traicionado por X20. A su muerte le siguieron intensos combates. El 10 de marzo, varias personas perdieron la vida en Reynosa cuando tiroteos se prolograron por horas entre las distintas facciones<\/a>. X20 posteriormente consolid\u00f3 su control sobre el Cartel del Golfo, dijo Reporte \u00cdndigo<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Los Zetas se han fragmentado a\u00fan m\u00e1s<\/a> que sus rivales a medida que numerosas facciones han declarado su intenci\u00f3n de ir tras Z40 y su hermano Alejandro \u201cOmar\u201d Trevi\u00f1o, alias Z42<\/a>. Con la captura de Z40, cualquier jerarqu\u00eda restante que pudiese sostener a la organizaci\u00f3n en una sola pieza ha desaparecido, dej\u00e1ndolos significativamente debilitados y vulnerables.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A medida que M\u00e9xico espera a ver lo que va a suceder a ra\u00edz de la captura del temido l\u00edder de los Zetas, Miguel \u00c1ngel Trevi\u00f1o, alias Z40, un comandante del su rival el Cartel del Golfo est\u00e1 siendo considerado como un posible candidato para hacer una jugada violenta para hacerse al poder en el noreste del pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":38137,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":false,"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"_newspack_byline_active":false,"_newspack_byline":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_show_updated_date":false,"newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_article_summary":"","_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[334],"tags":[412,406,1524,2881],"newspack_spnsrs_tax":[],"coauthors":[3813],"class_list":["post-5694","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-noticias-del-dia","tag-cartel-del-golfo","tag-mexico-pais","tag-x20-es","tag-los-zetas-es","entry"],"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","canonical_url":"https:\/\/insightcrime.org\/es\/noticias\/noticias-del-dia\/x20-del-cartel-del-golfo-podria-llenar-vacio-de-poder-el-universal\/","meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"X20 del Cartel del Golfo Podr\u00eda Llenar Vaci\u00f3 de Poder: El Universal","url":"http:\/\/insightcrime.org\/es\/noticias\/noticias-del-dia\/x20-del-cartel-del-golfo-podria-llenar-vacio-de-poder-el-universal\/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"http:\/\/insightcrime.org\/es\/noticias\/noticias-del-dia\/x20-del-cartel-del-golfo-podria-llenar-vacio-de-poder-el-universal\/"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/insightcrime.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/es-988aa60704b38ac3538729e5326f2cc7.jpg?resize=150%2C150&quality=100&ssl=1","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/insightcrime.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/es-988aa60704b38ac3538729e5326f2cc7.jpg?fit=280%2C169&quality=100&ssl=1"},"articleSection":"Noticias del d\u00eda","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Miriam Wells"}],"creator":["Miriam Wells"],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"InSight Crime","logo":"https:\/\/insightcrime.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/logo.png"},"keywords":["cartel del golfo","m\u00e9xico","x20","zetas"],"dateCreated":"2017-03-27T23:54:58Z","datePublished":"2017-03-27T23:54:58Z","dateModified":"2023-04-24T20:32:10Z"},"rendered":"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n","tracker_url":"https:\/\/cdn.parsely.com\/keys\/insightcrime.org\/p.js"},"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":180223,"url":"https:\/\/insightcrime.org\/es\/noticias\/captura-emblematico-capo-beneficiaria-expansion-cjng-frontera-eeuu-mexico\/","url_meta":{"origin":5694,"position":0},"title":"Captura de emblem\u00e1tico capo beneficiar\u00eda expansi\u00f3n del CJNG en frontera EE.
