MEXICO CITY (AP) - Mexican authorities say they have detained a man they identify as the No. 2 financial operator in the Zetas drug cartel.
Federal police say they captured Valdemar Quintanilla Soriano and another man on Tuesday in the northern state of Coahuila.

The authorities say Quintanilla has close ties with Zetas leaders Heriberto Lazcano and Miguel Angel Trevimo.

The Zetas are considered one of the most violent and prolific drug-trafficking organizations operating in Mexico. Their operations extend into Central America.
