Before the prosecutor, Sarabia narrated his criminal career, which began in2005 as manager of the “little shops”, (narcomenudo) in Nuevo Laredo.Sarabia, is a compadre of Miguel Angel Treviño Morales, “L-40″, whoupon hiring him, assigned him the code “L-44″. In late 2007 he joined “The operation”, as the escort of”L-40″ and his brother Omar Trevino Morales (L-42) while hiding inthe cities of Reynosa, Rio Bravo, Valle Hermoso and Matamoros, when the”Gulf Cartel”, then still allied to “Los Zetas”, werefighting for control of Nuevo Laredo against the now imprisoned Édgar ValdezVillareal “La Barbie” and Arturo Leyva, “El Barbas” wasmurdered in Cuernavaca. Another involved was Emanuel Almaguer, Municipal Police Commander of Saltillo,who paid the payroll and received support for expenses of the patrols. He wasexecuted on 5 December with his son of 12 years. Humberto Torres was legal director of the State Health Department. Today he isa fugitive. Respondents contend that they gave him very high bribes (the firstfor $100 000) and gave him a BMW and a Mustang. Despite this history and the confessions and accusations made by the detainees,who are almost a year in the power of the PGR, this office has not made anyinvestigation against the former prosecutor Charles Torres. And it has notsolved any cases of forced disappearance of any persons, although the presidentFelipe Calderon pledged since mid-2011 to accelerate research and respond tofamilies seeking justice. In his declaration before the PGR, gave details, amongothers, the death of a boss at the horse races, and the assassination of JaimeZapata, an ICE agent from the United States last February. The declaration of Luis Jesús Sarabia Ramón, Pepito Sarabia or ComadantePepito, explained some of the facts of violence of the last year in thenorthern region of the country, because of being close to Miguel Ángel TreviñoMorales, L-40, his compadre, also because of his ascension in the criminalorganization, Los Zetas, in which he became an associate. During the year nobody mentioned that the ICE agents were armed until lastWednesday, the 15th of Feb. when the Washington Post made known other detailsof the attack, for example, the truck was bullet proof and it would have beenable to withstand the shot of AK 47′s and the detonation of grenades, but thevehicle had a technical fault when placing it in “park” the locks ofthe door automatically opened. (Heriberto Lazcano Leader of Los Zetas)
Sarabia suspected now of different federal crimes explained that El Toto wasthe accountant of the palza and had been in charge that week when the iceagents were attacked. The investigation 051/2011 establishes that Sarabia asked El Toto to explainwhat happened and ordered to reunite with El Piolín. With his squad, he was toeither kill or deliver El Toto to the authorities. darle piso (kill someone)montarllo (hand over to authorities.) Sarabia was in Monclova when he was call upon by el Laszco for him to be in chargeof organizing a portent against the construction of a federal jail that wasgoing on in Monclova as stated in the investiga 041/2012 The matter became a crisis. The night of February 15, 2011 hours after agent’sZapata’s murder, L-40, and el Lazca called Sarabia asking for an explicationsince he was the principal commander of that region. The first one to arrivewas L-40
From Sarabia’s declaration: “my compadre 40 asks me what happened in SanLuis Potosi , “that who had fucked the ice agents?”, referring tothem as the blondes of ice, because I was the one in charge but I told him Ididn’t know about that mes-didn’t really know the details since El Toto was incharge.
El Violin and another secario only referred to as El Tarta has been identifiedby mexican authorities as the executioners of the attack.
Races in Fresnillo Some months before his detention Sarabia started to have problems inside thecriminal operation according to his declaration. On Dec 15, 2010, there were races and parties among Los Zetas. They gottogether at a race track near to then Fresnillo Jail. The brothers Miguel Ángely Omar Treviño, L-40 y L-42 respectively, Iván Velásquez Caballero, El TalibánComandante 50; El Diamante, operator of Zacatecas; and another guy known as ElGordo who is in charge of the organizations’ horses and La Ardilla, Zacatecasplaza boss. El Talibán asks Sarabia if he had done done something to his compadre L-40because he was so very angry that he wanted to have Sarabia turned in.”The only thing I told him was he was mad because he had seen me with awoman from Veracruz who was a table dancer but it seemed L-40 had likedher.” explained Sarabia There weren’t any complaints because suddenly they received reports about thepresence of the Military in the area and the party was over. The army finished the races for the day, and the Zetas managed to escape butconfronted the military all along the state highway Jerez-Fresnillo. Only apistolero died. L-40, L-42, El Lazca and La Ardilla flew to Monclova in privateairplanes and Sarabia fled by land and hid in Saltillo Villarín y Cañada Park The taste for horse races of Heriberto Lazcano y Miguel Ángel Treviño has beenextensively referred to mainly because on different occasions they have beenattacked or surrounded by the army while being spectators in this activity. One of the first mentions of this hobby occurred in El Villarin, Veracruz whena disagreement between the gamblers ended in a shooting. That time HeribertoLazcano it was speculated could have been the one was killed, but in reality itwas Efraín Teodoro Torres, Comandante 14 o Z-14. Two days later, on a farm of alleged Allende, Nuevo León, during the wake, asquad group of comandos shot the mourners, where his brother Jose Carmelo diedalong with other relatives and friends of the gambler from Teloloapan,Guerrero, were injured.
It was on the Los Pinos, Highway since that day there was a horse race to whichEl Comandante 40 attended because he knew in that place there was going to be agambler who a year before (in reality 2 years before) had killed commandant 14in the horse races that were held in Villarín, Veracruz. Sarabia was stationed in the surroundings of a convent located around thehighway to Los González in Saltillo when he received the order to come closerto Cañada Park but in transit he realized there were patrol cars waiting forthe convoy of L-40 that they had already executed El Gato Urióstegui and wasreturning. Sarabia was in charge of the custody of the convoy of L40, confrontingthe police, he ended up wounded. Two Faced Officials When they heard on the news that the former prosecutor Jesus Torres Charles andsub-delegate Claudia Gonzalez of the PGR in the state, were linked to LosZetas, the first by kinship, the second for providing protection, ‘whenhundreds of families across the country their blood froze.

Feb 28, 2011 the government presented Sergio Mora Cortés, El Toto, detained bythe marines. It was attributed to El Piolín. At an unusually face pace, thezetas were falling.
The ICE agent couldn’t respond to the attack, they were overpowered by weapons.
They understood that at the same time contributing new data to the officials tolook for their missing relatives were essentially giving information to thecriminals themselves. They understood also why, despite their efforts, thegovernment has not found any of the persons reported missing in the state inthese times of war against drugs.
She is the mother of the engineer Jorge Robledo Antonio Fernandez, originatedfrom DF disappeared in Monclova January 25, 2009. He was 32 and working at ICAFluor Daniels in the Phoenix Project of Altos Hornos de Mexico. Since then thecouple Robledo-Fernandez turned in search of their son and traveled every weekto Coahuila to submit evidence to the prosecutor. They gave him a video of suspected bar, windows sealed, which shares parkingwith the auto parts store where her son disappeared. Calls for a year, weremade from the two cell phones of her son and even the location of the two ATMsin the bank withdrawals which were made with his cards. But he did nothing, noteven include the data in the preliminary 002/2009. They always ask us what new things we had researched and often we toldthem:” You have to investigate, that’s your job, not ours ” she saidto proceso,” this woman who part of the organization United for OurForces Missing in Coahuila (Fuundec), which has documented 230 cases in thestate, 2007 to January 2011. Preliminary calculations of the state government show that in the state over1,600 have gone missing during the presidency of Felipe Calderón. “We made superhuman efforts to get information: we did an analysis ofoutgoing calls from the cell of my son and we would take them every 10 days toshow they were active, they were reloaded, and they had numbers used regularlyas friends on several phones; we had bank card statements and we told them theweek that showed steadily to withdraw money. We were hopeful that they wouldput an undercover agent to wait, because Monclova is a small town. But Saturdaycame and the miserable bastards, who had taken out of 3 000 pesos eachwithdrawl until the cleaned the last 100 pesos., “he says. The director of Human Rights Center Fray Juan de Larios, of the Diocese ofSaltillo, Blanca Martinez, also adviser Fuundec now today (Fuundem because itencompasses all of Mexico ‘missing) reports that, in the recent news, familiesare bewildered and outraged. Growing disenchantment The Fuundem scheduled several regional assemblies urgently in order to take aposition on that case. However, it is clear that will they may be asked toinvestigate the former Governor Humberto Moreira who kept Jesus Torres Charlesin office despite his negligence.
“The first loss was five years ago and to date there is nothing. There isa clear responsibility, at least by default and most likely not to look fordeliberation, and that means institutional responsibilities and status. Nodoubt there is direct responsibility of senior officials, such as thesub-delegated. So we will ask for an investigation into the former prosecutor,all officials involved in the alleged investigations of the missing andobviously, the former governor Moreira,” said Blanca Martinez. Throughout 2011, the families set tables with state and federal officials whoparticipated with the sub-delegate Claudia Gonzalez. “(She heard) allcases, giving her opinion, agreeing with families to find their missing,saying, with an unethical management to-emotional mothers angle that sheunderstood them as a woman.” (Below:Bert Resigns Amid resigns as PRI president over the Coahuila debt scandal “Since the first time we sat down with Humberto Moreira, in September2010, one of the demands of the families was the resignation of Charles Torresfor his acts of omission providing justice. The then governor ignored it andwhen he left the governorship to leave the job of president of the PRI, hestill told us: “Relax, here is the prosecutor, he’ll keep looking,”said Moreira. Despite the poor performance as state attorney Charles Torres. Humberto Moreira’s successor, his brother Reuben, who appointed him head of theOffice of Legal Affairs, where he watched the new laws being approved. Duringthis time defining the crime of enforced disappearance that does not meet theguidelines of the Organization of the United Nations. “The definition is tricky, to go off on tangents. we’re going backwards,is very ambiguous, the punishment to those directly responsible of the crime aswell as the responsibility of the state in order to provide justice”, hesays. Disenchantment is not new. As time goes on, families on pilgrimage from onegovernment institution to another to request the search for their loved ones,they have come to realize the complicity between authorities and criminals.However, up until now made explicit. “For a long time, we spent and we trusted the word of those people whomtell the news, they are part of the criminals.. To us God lit up the April 27,2009 when we realized that the prosecutor wasn’t doing anything. We found thatthe new data that we had, phone sheets, photographs, had not been included inthe preliminary investigation, but we had put everything in his hands. Inaddition he paralyzed us, telling us that we should not be searching for himbecause our son was in danger,” adds the mother of Jorge Antonio.
