MEXICO CITY, (APP/AFP) – Mexican police have rearrested a top
member of the violent Zetas drug gang who was freed last year, officials said Friday.
Federal officers detained Luis Reyes Enriquez, known as “Z12”, one of
the founders of the cartel.
The group is considered to be one of the forces behind a wave of
deadly violence in Mexico.
Reyes was freed by a judge last year after eight years in jail on
organized crime charges.
He has now been rearrested more than a year later after another judge
reversed the decision, officials said.
“He is considered a causer of violence and responsible for
transferring drugs in the states of Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas,” federal police anti-drugs chief Juan Carlos Silva told the media.
