Zeta Soldier Deported

US authorities deported a former Mexican soldier and a known member of the ‘zetas' back to Mexico.

Wanted by Mexico's attorney general's office, Raul Hernandez-Barron known as ‘Flander', was turned over to Mexican authorities around two in the afternoon by the Reynosa international bridge.

He was arrested in a Starr county residence by a combined task force made of state and federal agencies.

Hernandez-Barron deserted the Mexican army and became a member of the ‘zetas', a commando known to carry out killings and acting as drug couriers for the gulf cartel.

Once in Reynosa, Mexican authorities said the suspect would be flown to Mexico city where he would face weapons charges.
