MEXICO CITY — A U.S. indictment unsealed Wednesday in the District of Columbia claims the leader of one of Mexico’s most violent gangs continued to run an offshoot group, the Northeast Cartel, from inside a Mexican prison.
Miguel Angel Treviño Morales, alias “Zeta 40,” was a founder and leader of the notorious Zetas cartel. He has been in a Mexican prison since his arrest in 2013.
Together with the killing of the Zetas’ other top leader in 2012, the old cartel, which spread terror throughout Mexico with bloody massacres, basically fell apart.
