Mexican Drug cartels terror reaches deep
into the U.S.
By Michael Webster:
Investigative Reporter
June 5, 2008
11:00 a.m. PDT
Mexican drug cartel gangs and their
surrogates as many feared are committing crimes against
Americans on the U.S. side of the border. Until recently it was
believed by U.S. law enforcement that these gangs limited their
terror to Mexican citizens in Mexico and other Latin American
countries. These ruthless drug gangs are now reported to be
robbing, torturing, kidnapping, and threatening Americans at an
alarming rate.
These gang members are known to be
attacking Americans all over the states. Recently it came to
light that a gang operation of this type was uncovered operating
on the east coast from New York to Florida. This
Queens-based
robbery crew used fake police badges, vehicles that resembled
police cars with fake police lights and sirens and would pull
over and rob drug couriers all up and down the East Coast,
federal investigators said. Similar tactics are being used in
Mexico’s violence. Police say this type of crime is happening on
both sides of the U.S Mexican border.

The drug dealing gangs watch known
drug dealing competitors and would pull them over and steel
their drugs and money. Often to get to higher-ups, they would
torture their victims to give up there bigger drug connections
and the gang would then go rob them and repeat the scenario till
they reached the bigger drug dealers then put them out of
business and sell the stolen drugs back on the streets at full
profits.
U.S. Attorney Benton
Campbell said the suspects would conduct surveillance
on their victims for weeks at a time. Then the crew would
allegedly use fake lights and sirens to pull over the victims'
cars and kidnap those inside.
If drugs or cash were not in the car,
prosecutors said the suspects would kidnap and torture the
drivers to tell them where the drugs, cash and other drug
dealers where. Many times their prey where not drug dealers and
were innocent victims.
Investigators said the suspects used
terrorist tactics of simulated drowning techniques (water
bordering) as well as pliers applied to the male victim’s
genitals to learn where and when millions in cash and drugs
shipments were being made.
Police said they recovered 20 guns in
their raids. The suspects allegedly stole more than $20 million
in drugs and $4 million in cash. The stolen drugs were then
resold on the streets of New York, prosecutors said.
Agents said the Queens-based ring
traveled from Massachusetts to Florida to carry out the
robberies.
Court documents showed that the
gang used various forms of torture on the victims,including
severe physical beatings, simulated drownings through repeated
submerging of victims’ heads in water for extended periods of
time, threatening to squeeze a victim’s testicles with pliers
and pointing loaded guns and shooting them at the victims and
their families.
Victims were held ransom until
either drugs or cash were provided. Once the gang obtained
information about the location of drugs or cash, the robbery
crew then went to the location and stole the drugs and/or
proceeds or had them delivered by the victim’s associates or
family members as a ransom. On occasions, there were shootouts
between the robbery crew and the victims’ associates. In
general, these kidnappings involved multiple victims and lasted
for days. On one particular occasion, the crew abducted
seventeen people from three separate locations and held them
over a period of several days.
It was not uncommon for the narco
gang to retrieve over one hundred kilograms of cocaine and/or
hundreds of thousands of dollars. Most of the drugs were
transported back to the New York area where they were
distributed on the streets.
Physical evidence, such as the
firearms, handcuffs, police scanners, multiple kilograms of
cocaine, and other crime scene evidence, such as shell casings
and fingerprints were collected by law enforcement officers.
U.S. Drug Enforcement agents worked
with local law enforcement all up and down the eastern seaboard
along with New York State Police developing this case. As a
result NYPD officers made eight arrests. The suspects allegedly
helped run the "police impersonation" ring that kidnapped and
tortured more than 100 known Americans and how many more victims
there where is really unknown because many of the crimes where
criminals on criminals and went un-reported to authorities
according to an undercover DEA agent who wants to remain
anonymous.
Among those charged were Acosta De
Vargas, who police said has past arrests for heroin dealing;
Jose Castro, who
allegedly helped organize the kidnappings;
Gabriel Pabon,
who police said has past gun arrests; and
Javier Rivera,
who faced deportation to the Dominican Republic on an earlier
offense.
DEA officials said this is becoming
wide spread across America and that more cases are being worked
and more arrests are expected in the weeks and months ahead.
Eight of the
suspects pleaded not guilty when they were arraigned Tuesday
afternoon. They were ordered held without bail. Click on and
