Guacamaya Leaks Uncovers Pact Between "Marro" and the National Guard: They Paid Them 120,000

The elements asked "El Padrino", "Marro's" ally in the State of Mexico, for 120,000 pesos per night to help them extract LP gas from pipelines in Celaya.



ORGANIZED CRIME

For 120,000 pesos a night, members of the National Guard helped José Antonio Yépez Ortiz, alias "El Marro", and "El Padrino", a Mexican drug trafficker, to smuggle stolen LP gas from Guanajuato to the State of Mexico.

The above is documented by the Sedena and is part of a report leaked by hacktivists called Guacamaya.

It all started as an alliance that the two capos began to weave in January 2019, when they had their first meeting, according to the leaked document obtained by El Sol. They had come together to seek a solution that would allow them to continue committing crimes after a federal government strategy implemented to combat oil theft.

Jose Trinidad Zarco, alias "El Padrino," and "El Marro," leader of the Santa Rosa de Lima Cartel were huachicol kingpins in their regions: Mexico State and Guanajuato, respectively. Their criminal activities related to the theft of hydrocarbons, particularly that of "El Marro," were affected after the federal government shut down Pemex pipelines in the Santa Rosa de Lima Cartel leader's area of operation.

Desperate after having his main source of income taken away, he sought out "El Padrino" for the possibility of a possible alliance. They met in January 2019 and just over a year later began operating together, but there were more than 2 in this criminal operation against federal strategies.
