I was a Hit Man for Miguel Treviño
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 лип 2013
- When Rosalio Reta was 13, the leader of Mexico's most violent drug cartel recruited him to be an assassin. Miguel Treviño, who was just captured by the Mexican marines, used American teenagers to carry out killings on both sides of the border.
Reta is now serving time in a Texas prison for one of the 30 killings he claims to have committed. He spoke to The Center for Investigative Reporting prior to Treviño's arrest about the years he spent as a hit man for the leader of the Zetas. The interview is airing now for the first time.
Reta says he feels remorse and shame for the life he led as a killer. "It gets to a point where I can't even stand myself," Reta tells CIR. "It's eating me inside little by little, and there's nothing I can do or say to justify my actions."

70 years for 30 kills...
thats not bad
J 7 he rolled
70 years is a life sentence.. Why give him anymore time than that? Even if you went to prison at 10 years old somehow, you'd be getting out at 80 years old!
popeye a man whos supposedly murdered 250-300 people in Colombia was sentenced to prison for around 22 years.
Black Prince Thats because over there the average man is 1/2 the size of the worlds average size.
Obama face “ not bad “ that’s 12 life sentences or 1200 years
Dude has a smile that just smiles on its own (literally)
Literally
Literally
When he thinks back to those 30 people he killed he just can't help cheesing a little
And he get you gone quik dont let it fool u
I was thinking the same thing.
For this man to thrive in an organization like the zetas he had to do some of the sickest shit humans have ever seen. He deserves his punishment regardless if he was groomed.
I honestly don’t think he’d want to be out of there. He’s protected there.
@@Joeyd1184his own people tied him and were going to torture and kill him. He somehow got free and killed them both. This dude is 100 percent a sadistic psychopath . “The wolf boys” is about him and his friend. Reta loved killing even though he acts like he didn’t
imagine someone forcing you to kill your own brother, can't even imagine.
His partner (who was also a child soldier for the cartel) said this guy was a sadist who enjoyed killing. Would even go out of his way to run over dogs on the street. Only a few from the cartel training camps are choosen to be hit men. The rest who can't kill are made to be lookouts or scouts. They actually do get a choice to be killers or not at the camps.
Well at least we know he has good place in hell
Doesn’t matter, lookouts and scouts are still tortured and beaten to death and dismembered alive when caught by rival cartels or Federales
(federal troops usually don’t dismember them but will beat them to death or toss them out of a helicopter)
You've seem to have some scary in side Information And a bit Salf criminating
You can tell by the way he's smiling
turkey2003 from the UA-cam comment section knows exactly how cartel training camps of los Zetas worked in the late 2000s
I hope his wife is ok after this because usually when they reveal names of "snitches" They go for families
She’s fine. Zetas are done there is no money lost from her speaking and no heat. In fact it helps them if they’re around. They are about money and get talking doesn’t efffect that

...and he's Married?! She must be crazy.
kentishtowncowboy she looks crazier than him tbh
ya that's why he traveled over there "intrigued by the narco life". He chose to kill or be killed. We can absolutely judge the choice he made.
She looks like she complains at all the restaurants she eats at just to have a free meal, to feel in control.
AD GP or maybe just maybe he could have not been about that life! That simple. I feel no pity for trash humans.
AD GP not true he said in an interview I saw that he wanted to be a hitman
He still amazed by his old boss you can see it in his face the smile dont lie is like if wanted to be there again and enjoy.
100 percent. Just goes to show how delusional he is. Z40 was as sadistic and sick as it gets. Look up the San Fernando massacres and read into the intimate details about what z40 did. Disgusting waste of human trash
This dude was on Gangland Zetas. The FBI wanted him to snitch or something like that & the Zetas found out took him to a house & were torturing him. The guy broke free killed everyone in the house & called the FBI
That el chino antrax I think
He was on gangland but Reta was to violent for Los zetas and when he ran to Mexico he was going to get killed in a Mexican jail so that’s when he called the fbi to get him in a American jail
He is smiling when he talks about the two brothers who had to kill each other. Look in his eyes, there is no remorse, no trauma. This guy can not be given the opt-out that some people are using, called poverty. He did it because he wanted to do it. He did it because he is heartless.
@Belltown Daisy he was a monster
@@yurichtube1162 he was still a child in poverty. The first kill was cause he was broke, he liked it after that.

chimney man just proves hes a clown
chimney man my moms freind has face tattoos like this
Official Krazee it's gang shit, in his case, it was for the gang and what he was ... some people just have funny face tattoos, but with gangs like this think of it as an army .. your tattoos are your medals, badges, whatever .. that's it
Looking at him he seems like he’d be a nice person in real life, but it’s all a charade....
One kilobyte of ram
Yeah I met some pretty chill people who turned out to be murderers, it’s crazy ! Sitting down and talking with and laughing with these guys then finding out on the news they killed 3+ people gives you a kind of cold feeling on the inside
no capp hes kinda cute
Aamir Basir they’re just killing rivals not innocents
RestInParadise Kobe
Yeah it’s still pretty crazy knowing someone who has took another human beings life is all 😯
It's all business to him is organized crime so he won't waste his energy on a nobody we be good aslong we dont f with him but this cartel is ruthless he might not hurt you but the man behind him will
Surely the guy and his wife giving these interviews is a bit risky
Well, he IS in prison.
drpoetry1 It's still pretty easy to get to people in prison dude. There are plenty of corrupt prison wardens that would turn a blind eye for a pretty penny. Also, the Mexicans are hardly short on numbers of gang persons who are incarcerated that could get to this guy.
Abraham Hagos nah he's in feds, hes either in custody with snitches, so they won't get killed or if that's even too risky they'll put him in a hole.
drpoetry1 it doesn’t matter, the cartel can bribe the guards or order the prison gang members to kill him, they have ties with the Mexican mafia who has ties with aryan brotherhood
Abraham Hagos who cares
Looks like a hit man for Ronald McDonald

Has more balls than you tho homie!
If even half of the stuff said about Trevino is true, he's way more evil than most serial killers.
Most narcos are. Mexico is scary
Trevino is a serial killer.
Definitely not...
He probably killed 10-20 more than what he said.
But who's the really the soft one here? The guy in the video with tattoos all on his shit imprisoned for murder?
Or the people commenting on here saying he's soft?
SirGameChanger its the punk asking this question
Yeah dummy i mean you
This guy is trash. I remember when he was first caught. My family is from Nuevo Laredo. He turned himself in because he killed a Mexican mafia member and he knew if he didn't turn himself in he would die. A lot more is known because of that clown man. He would say he had no remorse, it was like a real life video game. I guess he could have changed his mind. I didn't like him at all though
SirGameChanger rarely cant u glorify violence but understanding why ppl do the things they do n the desperation that motivates people do these things
Is important
SirGameChanger The Keyboard always come with PTSD... Have some Respect.
Some people get death sentence for killing one person. He kills 30 and gets 70 years. Yeah, makes sense. But dang his wife is hot. He in prison and he can't touch his wife and I ain't got no gf
Curiosity gonna get u killed fuck being around people that are involved in some shit 🤣
The only thing you're going to be inside of is a coffin.
Some people arr asking where you from
Damn that’s right then next day you get killed by the zetas
This guy is a hell of an actor I've watched several different interviews and each one his level of desire to be involved was different in one he's all hard and loves the work he did this one he's a victim of the lifestyle the truth is probably in between
What the F you expect from a psychopath.....
Thx kid kootenay
It's all the same interview edited to fit the presentation
Its not acting when u lived the life bro. Most people that watched this video are in the comfort of their own free life not having the horrors of what this guy have been through.
Hes the one who chose to go to mexico because he was "interested in the narco life". It was his dream and he fulfilled it. Dont make it sound like he was forced to endure what he voluntarily signed up for
Thanks so much for your comments and thoughts. We just posted a longer story about child narco-soldiers working for the Zetas called "Miguel Trevino's Teenage Assassins." The video features an interview with another young hitman and expanded footage of Rosalio Reta's interview. Let us know what you think!

I looked at all ur liked video....WTF?!
Lmfao!😂
Thank you for sharing this with us. I'm interested in Reta's testimony, particularly because I assume that while he may be trying to inform the public accurately, he may also be hoping to make the kind of impression that may help him apply for parole later...I think he's up for it in 30 years?
I was wondering what type of documentary you'll be producing in the next few months? I would love to see just the raw footage of the entire interview about Miguel Trevino. Might that be available sometime?
Damn.... prison in the usa must be a cakewalk for this guy.
lamplava probably not he's probably at a maximum level 4 camp. Where everything is completely controlled movement. Definitely not a cakewalk
lamplava ... This punk is in super max....

Where else would you imprison a US citizen?? And obviously you have not been to prison!!!
All things will be revealed before God...
Sad this people still around us,living in a good houses, car and good life.
And now look at you? You're spending the rest of your life in prison for another man

+Ramiro are u a teacher or something
Drake's Wheelchair No it’s just that I see it all the time and it’s super annoying. It’s become a thing.

If you think about it thats kinda gay
“The stuff he forced him to do” ???
No one believes that bs! Those people are monsters through and through each and everyone of them.
let me know when that documentary is done, i'd be interested in seeing it.
This is why I stay home and write books.
What type of books do you write? Have you ever thought of writing a book about this stuff that happened? I have more than enough Info and letters with tons of Information that only I know?

Oh whoa. So the video I watched before this was a guy in Texas, who started running with drug guy hoping to get the Zetas to back off of him.
I wonder if they ever met?
I hear you, and btw this guy Miguel Trevino was recently nabbed by the Mexican Anti-Narco Task Force.
The real question is, did he ever meet Lazcano..
At that time Trevino was second in command, Lazcano was the top chief.

So be sure about that life you choose. Those decisions that you make and those people you turn your back on.
Nobody gets out. Nobody. Jail or the grave.
You take on that fast life, just know that you've decided to throw anything good in your life away.
That ain't making a living or you just trying to support your loved ones. That's just you, alone.
Think hard, try to see into the future without you making this terrible choice. I was a short timer. Served a total of 8yrs, 10 mos. Got out. Never looked back nor went back.
As kids we dont think we know nothing about life but as u grow up you understand. Its sad cuz these are ppls children, I never want my son to go out feel like he has to get money like that. Its not worth it its just nice for what? U kill someone ur life over why risk it for someone who wouldnt for u.
Face looks kinda harmless...
Lesson: Don't Judge A Book By Its Cover
This guy needs a documentary.

You have to join the cartel and kill 30 ppl then maybe you'll have a chance with her
Funny thing about these cartel guys or gang members in general. Is that when they are in there little groups. They play the movie as if they were the biggest bad ass you'll ever meet. But catch one of these guys alone, some of the biggest cawords you'll also ever meet. And once they get locked up for murder or drugs. They become the biggest Snitch you'll ever know...
The cartels are the toughest suns of bitches ever, this guy would beat the shit out of you bro he'll murder you with his bare hand's.
*RELENTLESS* 💀
Where did you get that info?
30 people damn😨
"Do you want to be a Sicario?"
Sad stories...how sickening...
full documentary ?
Please do a more longer documentary on Reta and his friends like a half an hour or 1 hour documentary then a 5 minute one If possible. Thank you
2:27 he´s smiling
he wants to laugh all the way through this but controls himself.
There was a documentry on him that when they would always do the brutal attacks on victims he was alwa yes the one that wanted to volunteer

His teeth are on point..
Hi ifilestv, thanks for the great reporting. Is there any way to see the entire interview with Reta?
Tattoo's are not a smart move if you are going to be an assassin. Too identifiable.
i was a hit man for Tony Montano. I am one of the few people who can talk about him. was there when he was shot in the back by sosa sicario. As soon i see him fall ine the water i knew my life in that world was over, i had to change.
TonyMon16 lol
Montana lmfaoooo
Lol Sosa doesn't shoot Tony.
Nick Finder yeah that’s why he said Sosas sicario
idk why but this is too funny man perfect ironic comment
Reta also talks about seeing 60, 70 and 100 people massacred at the same time. Similarly, another defendant in U.S. court spoke of seeing some 300 people massacred at the same time, which included women and children. And, on either Narco Blog or Borderland Beat, I saw a report of an actual battle that had taken place between CDG and the military, and there were 100s of dead bodies. Of course none of this makes the mainstream news. If a massacre of 100 people took place anywhere else in the world, it would be the headlines for several days, but it is just BAU in the land of wolves. The fratricide that is taking place in Mexico today is astonishing in scope and brutality. I'm no Trump fan, but some things he has right, and the wall is one of them. If Mexico collapsed, which is a likely possibility in the next 50 years, even the wall would be insufficient for the exodus. We would need 250,000 soldiers on the 2000 mile border in a hurry.
I’m sure even if he said no it would’ve been the same outcome
They need to make a movie on this
thats stupid
@@elyadrian8871 How?
“Should never been forced on anybody” my boi knew what he was doing and what he wanted to do stfu 😂
He knew he wanted to kill people at 13?
This is a cartel we're talking about, not some shitty half assed LA street gang... You don't get invited to an execution and then tell the boss no. That's how your whole family dies my dude..
You probably think all those child soldiers in Africa who were being mainlined heroin and meth knew what they were doing too...

hello
Remeber he was a kid. Kids are so easy to manipulate and fool and was forced to a life a crime. While i feel bad he still commited many bad crime and seems like he regets now it will haunt him for the rest of his life now.
I remember he came out on gangland. He told on everybody
That is my average KD in Battlefield hardline
That dude looks like Quagmire, With glasses
A man sometimes has to do things that's part of his job, killing is one of them. We've seen Mafia,Triads who have killed for honour,business but never will you see people like in the Mexican cartels. These animals don't kill because it's business,with these dogs it's not even personal, it's just for fun! These animals are psychos! They're mentally ill who don't even care about the money,they do it because they're genuinely sick in the head.
There's no honor in this! This is not what a gangster should be! Even gangsters have a code that they will not break. Women and kids. Going to people's homes. These MF go directly for families.
You couldn't be more wrong..... if you did actual research, you would know that what you are saying is not true.
His answers are slightly different in every interview. His responses are possessed of a slight nuance in every interview.
Oh boy look like he belongs in ah deck of cards...

Don't give these any airtime it only increases their ego and encourages other to follow. They are reliving their crimes by talking about it.

But if a serial killer, killed that much people, he'd get 500 years.
What kinda question is that
Theres no force here mija this Killer Murder chose this life style on his on while what you think he thought it was like a boys scout try out no he knew what he was getting in to at all cost he got lucky he didnt get killed
U could see in his eyes he didn't enjoy doing it
How did he get caught
Our people need to come together and help each other not kill foo🤦🏾♀️
"the stuff that he forced Rosalio to do" Girl bye
You don't have a choice to reject a cartel boss' decisions, so in hind sight he didn't have q choice, otherwise if he were to decline that offer to work for Miguel he woulda been killed, brutally too. Nobody declines offers for Mexican drug cartels, you don't have a choice. It's either that or you die.
Squantizzle “it’s either that or you die” you literally contradicted yourself. Lmao
@@Abalamski I don't know how I "contradicted" myself, since a cartel boss isn't gonna let you live after proposing illegal drug trade operations that you decline, but it's clear to me you don't know much about this life at all.

I thought Nick Eh 30 was family friendly.
He's got a resting smiling face like he's about to smile but tryin not to like a smirk. Is he the joker?
When you try and get some bad ass facial tattoos but end up looking like crappy the clown.
He is trying to appear remorseful. He wants you to think he didn't have a choice and killed for the Zetas out of fear. If you watch his expressions when he talks about Miguel forcing the brothers to kill each other and planning to kill the survivor, you can tell he loves that shit. He admires Miguel rather than fearing him. He's no victim.
I'm not hating, though, just pointing it out. To each his own.
This dude got caught up in what he thought was a glamorous lifestyle and got introduced to a Nightmare, but you will do strange things to impress the Boss....I bet if he had a chance to jump in a time machine he wouldn't of wen't to that spot in Mexico....I remember making runs to Loredo Texas....back in early 90's and copping shit...I heard about tunnels and stuff way back then....and these older Mexicans would tell me your alright Gringo...and tell you anything...like there is incuransce on the load....It was scary back then had one major check point to go through...and them fuckers were just getting hip to checking the welds on gas tanks...crazy shit I seen in Loredo.
I’m oddly interested in serial killers
This is terrible. He seems like a guy that could have become something useful for society, but instead this. Its a shame. And after all those ugly tortures he has seen , i think its only one way road. Just like if you have been a guard in nazi concentration camp - things you see damages your mind, and your soul becomes hardened to suffering and pain of other human beings. Though, i dont give him a forgiveness, i just think that there are some cirumstances that leads human beings to act in such a terrible way.
He's tricking you. This guy is a vicious killer. He wasn't forced to do this stuff.
As the comment above states, this man is a monster. You don't kill dozens without something of a lust for murder.
I've seen footage of this guy before. The DEA recorded him on the phone bragging about gruesome details of their victims begging for their lives. He talked about slicing one of his victim's stomach open and filling a cup with the blood of his victim as part of a sick ritual. This guy is a sadistic psychopath.
cosa nostra dude so does the United States the only problem is the United States doesn’t get caught doing that
Chet Carson what kinda name is chet?? Sounds like Cheetos ur ain’t easy being cheese looking ass🤣🤣

These type of Guys are always claiming someone MADE them do something that they did not want to do.
Well that's how it works with child soldiers... so that's why they say that... turns out sometimes it's true.
