MEXICO CITY ? The Mexican navy has arrested a man alleged to be Zetas drug cartel’s local chief for the Gulf coast port of Veracruz, saying he is tied to the dumping of eight bodies in a rural town a week ago.
The navy says five other men were also captured, including a suspect in the jail break of 32 inmates a day before gunmen dumped 35 bodies on a busy avenue of Veracruz last month. A picture released by the navy shows four of the six dressed in military clothing.
A navy statement identifies the purported Zetas local leader as Carlos “The Bam Bam” Pitalua. It says he is suspected in the Oct. 20 killings of eight people in Paso de Ovejas.
The navy captured the men on Tuesday.
