Links between former Sedena pilots and drug traffickers identified

The hacking of files of the Secretariat of National Defense (Sedena) made by the hacktivist group Guacamaya has revealed links between former Sedena pilots and the narco, that at least 70 gangs dominate the south of the country and that the government allocates 7 times more soldiers to detain migrants than to fight huachicol.
Links between former Sedena pilots and drug traffickers identified
El Universal published that the Ministry of National Defense (Sedena) identified that at least nine ex-military pilots have possible links to organized crime, according to leaks from the Guacamaya group.
One of them was identified as part of the Sinaloa Cartel. In another text, the link with drug trafficking is detailed: “Former pilot of the Mexican Air Force carries out drug transfer activities by air for the Jalisco Cartel New Generation (CJNG),” reads an internal report of February 2020.

In a report entitled Air Intelligence Results, dated September 2020, Sedena states that “organized crime uses airport infrastructure and the National Airspace taking advantage of the vacuum of authority due to the lack of capabilities of some dependencies, lack of the legal framework of others and inefficient administrative processes.”

70 bands dominate the south of the country
Meanwhile, Excelsior revealed that at least 70 criminal groups are responsible for violence and crimes in Veracruz, Guerrero, Oaxaca, Chiapas, Tabasco, Campeche, Yucatán and Quintana Roo.

The Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) and the Pacific Cartel are the hegemonic gangs, but independent groups dedicated to fuel theft, drug trafficking, migrant trafficking, kidnapping, extortion, theft of cargo transport, livestock and laundering coexist, according to Sedena reports obtained by Guacamaya.
Guerrero stands out for the dispute between the Familia Michoacana, Los Tequileros, Guerreros Unidos, CJNG and the Beltrán Leyva for the control of the traffic of enervants.

Sedena monitors elections in Coahuila
Reforma announced that Sedena monitors the political environment in Coahuila, where there will be an election for governor in 2023.
Although he predicts the triumph of Morena, he warns that the deployment of security forces ordered by Governor Miguel Riquelme could benefit the PRI.
“The possibility that for the first time in the state of Coahuila another party will govern is not ruled out,” said an email sent on June 27, 2022 by the 14th Motorized Cavalry Regiment to the General Headquarters of the 47th Military Zone.
Government allocates 7 times more soldiers to detain migrants than to fight huachicol
Animal Político published that the López Obrador government allocates seven times more soldiers to detain undocumented migrants in Mexico than to other internal security tasks, such as the fight against the huachicol, the reinforcement of customs, the surveillance of airspace, or drug trafficking.
In fact, the Mexican Army employs almost the same number of soldiers for immigration containment tasks as for military operations against organized crime; this, despite the fact that traveling without documents through the country is not a crime, nor a crime, but only an administrative offense.
This is revealed by documents contained among the information of the Ministry of Defense (Sedena) that was obtained and leaked by the group of hacktivists Guacamaya.
