Prison Director Threatened By Z40 Is Executed in Mexico City

A prison director was shot to death on the streets of Mexico City. It turns out that the prison director was threatened by imprisoned Zetas leader "Z40" shortly before he was killed.



Z40 has spent over a decade of his life behind bars, having been arrested back in 2013. He’s been able to navigate the prison system with ease - often manipulating it to his own benefit.

So it's worth considering, was Z40 behind the execution of the prison director? And how could the government prevent this from happening again?
