The latest news to surface in terms of the 132 prisoners who have escaped from the Piedras Negras Centro de Readaptación Social (CERESO) is that three of the prisoners have been apprehended. Two in Zaragoza and one in Monclova as late as 11:30 P.M. on Wednesday. The first two Mauro Antonio Valdés González and Jorge Mendoza Bárcenas were captured in the municipality of Zaragoza, Coahuila traveling in a 4x4 pickup with Texas license plates and in the possession of two AK-47 assault rifles and two AR-15 assault rifles along with an array of ammunition.

 

 

Another, Pablo Sánchez Campos, revealed to authorities that the fugitives from justice did not all escape through the tunnel which led away from the prison, they were allowed to exit through the front gates compounding the theory that there may have been a conspiracy to cooperate with outside organized crime in order to allow these prisoners to be set free. Sánchez Campos, who had served three months for Grand Theft Auto, recounted his experience to authorities stating that he too left the facility through the front door with a large group of prisoners and left on foot to an 'ejido' by the name of Candela and was suffering from dehydration, but he managed to get a ride to Monclova, Coahuila where residents alerted authorities of a suspicious individual. When captured, Sánchez Campos said, "It was better for me that I was captured," as he showed signs of malnutrition and dehydration. Reports coming from Mexico relate that the majority of the fugitives may already be in the state of Tamaulipas and were recruited to supplant rival factions in what has become an all-out struggle for power now that Juan Carlos Morales Gonzalez, also known by the alias Milton Monserrat de la Rosa or his nicknames "El Peluche" or "Peluchin" who was apprehended on September 7 in Piedras Negras, has caused two rival factions of the cartel to be vying for power. Police Chief Tony Castañeda informed The News Gram that this incident could be related to this struggle for power. Formed in 1998 by 14 former Mexican soldiers, the Zetas have grown to command more than 10,000 gunmen from the Rio Grande to deep into Central America. Their rapid expansion has displaced Mexico's older cartels in many areas, giving them a dominant position in the multi-billion dollar cross-border drug trade, as well as extortion, kidnapping and other criminal businesses.
