Local Mexico drug boss tied to U.S. agent death caught
The Mexican Navy said on Sunday it arrested the alleged regional head of the feared “Zetas” drug gang in connection with this month’s murder of a U.S. customs agent by a drug gang.
The Navy said in a statement that Marines arrested Sergio “El Toto” Mora, the alleged head of the Zetas in San Luis Potosi, in a Sunday morning raid in the northern city of Saltillo.
Mora was to be transported to Mexico City and handed over to the federal prosecutors’ office for interrogation.
The statement did not provide further details of Mora’s suspected role in the killing.
