The 35 year-old is said by police to have been one of the founders of Los Zetas, and was responsible for co-ordinating the trafficking of drugs and migrants throught the south.
Thousands of migrants from Central America hoping to travel through Mexico to to the US border are believed to fall victim to criminal organisations like Los Zetas every year.
