On September 12, 2011, a special unit of the Mexican Navy,
Semar, captured Verónica Mireya Moreno Carreon
(“La Flaka”), the leader of the Los Zetas cell, the Plaza
de San Nicolas de Los Garza, Nuevo Leon. Verónica was selected as leader
of the cell, the Semar officials said, because of her “ability
to perform various operations and for her cruelty, as her duty was to organize
and carry out executions and torture, collect the "rights of flat for
extortion" and kidnapping ransoms, and to make drug transfers, among other
functions.” She was selected in August by cartel leaders to replace Raul Garcia
Rodriguez, “El
Sureño” (“The Southerner”) as head of Plaza
de San Nicolas de Los Garza.
She was captured in Santa Fe Oriente in a stolen vehicle
following a report on the car theft. Arresting officers seized from her a .38 special revolver, one hundred packets of cocaine, 50
doses of “crack,” two packages of marijuana and six portable phones.
Verónica Moreno was previously a police officer (circa 2009)
in Nueva León. In that capacity she received awards for distinguished service
and was given scholarships for advanced training.
