Mexican military captures Gulf Cartel boss on border

Gulf Cartel leader Mario Ramirez Treviño, alias ‘X-20,’ was detained in a joint operation between the Mexican Army and the Marines in the border town of Rio Bravo, Tamaulipas on Saturday morning.

The latest of Mexico’s kingpins to fall, Ramirez had assumed leadership of the Gulf Cartel after the arrests of Mario Cardenas Guillen and Jorge Eduardo Costilla Sanchez, leaders of rival factions within the gang, last September.
