Several people released the Zacatecas flaying video, including YouTuber Plagued Moth. He published a 13-minute video titled “The Zacateca Flaying, Worse Than FunkyTown?” in July. The unsettling video’s story was narrated by the content producer. The horrific video, which he obscured on his channel, was also shown to netizens.
Over 164K people had viewed the YouTuber’s video
According to several online users, the victim’s limbs were tied, and he was forced to the ground. He was also allegedly under the influence of drugs before the horrifying slaying, which would have probably lessened the pain. Netizens claim that when the victim was being tortured by members of the Zacatecas cartel, he did not cry out in agony.
As previously noted, when the video was posted to YouTube in July, many users were shocked by what they saw. Many people said that even though the flaying was hazy, it was still clearly apparent. Many others said that after watching the video, they were left with scars. Some commented on how startling it was to observe the victim not scream in agony. Responses to the video by Plagued Moth ranged from:
Who was behind the flaying?
According to Reddit users, the flaying was carried out by Mexico’s Cartel del Noreste. The Northeast Cartel is another name for the cartel, according to Historica Fandom. According to reports, Juan Gerardo Chavez Trevino created it in 2014.
Following Omar Trevino Morales’ arrest as the leader of Los Zetas, the Zacatecas cartel was established. Los Zetas was divided into the Old School Zetas and the Cartel del Noreste as a result of a power vacuum, and they engaged in conflict regularly. The cartel engaged in combat not only with the Old School Zetas but also with the Gulf Cartel, the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, and Nuevo Laredo.
El Pais claims that violent conflicts between cartels have plagued Zacatecas for many years. Seven friends and cousins, ages fourteen to eighteen, were abducted by armed men in September. The cartel members sent a video of the victims walking down a hill to their families in an attempt to extract money. Six of the abducted lads tragically perished, and only one made it out alive. Five police officers were also abducted in August and discovered murdered in Zacatecas.
Speaking about the kind of guys that join cartels, Carlos Perez Ricart of the Center for Economic Research and Teaching disclosed that males who lack possibilities and reside in impoverished metropolitan areas between the ages of 17 and 24 are frequently recruited. The recruits are usually ex-shooters as well. It is said that recruits are occasionally coerced into joining the cartels.
In the last five years, the state has seen 4548 cases of femicide and homicide, according to Mexico United Against Crime. In the previous five years, 2371 individuals in Zacatecas have also been victims of kidnappings, wrongful detentions, and other crimes against humanity.
