The documents of the Secretariat of National Defense (Sedena) leaked by the hacktivist group Guacamaya continue to yield various revelations, including that the Sedena was aware that several agencies agreed to pay at least 45 billion pesos to the Army for works, and that in Tabasco and Veracruz, the huachicoleros weave a network with police, the National Guard and officials.
Here we share other data found in the Sedena Leaks:
Customs alert invasion of “crooked” cars
Reforma announced that the military officer who heads the Tijuana Customs urged last July to implement a system to control the access of “crooked” vehicles from the United States because mafias continue to intern them en masse.
“Some 65,000 vehicles enter Tijuana daily through its two checkpoints (50,000 through El Chaparral and 15,000 through Otay), without the possibility of inspections with Customs personnel or technological support to carry it out efficiently; although technology exists partially, in reality it does not help to identify the legal situation of these vehicles and people, since they are not connected to a vehicle or criminal database,” said retired Lieutenant Colonel Fernando Martínez, administrator of the Tijuana Customs, in one of the Sedena emails hacked by Guacamaya.

Agencies agreed to pay at least $45 billion pesos to the Army for works
La-Lista published on Monday that different agencies of the federal government agreed to transfer at least 45 billion pesos to the Army during this six-year term to carry out security work, adaptations of hospitals, the construction of the Mayan Train and other works commissioned by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
Among the 4 million Sedena emails that the Guacamaya hacker group leaked are some drafts of collaboration agreements that the Army’s Legal Affairs Unit sent to different federal agencies, which promise to pay millions to the Army.
One activity for which the Army has received resources is the construction of branches of the Welfare Bank.

Meanwhile, the newspaper Excelsior published that Pemex employees, elements of the National Guard, ministerial agents and former state officials are involved in a network of huachicoleo that operates in Tabasco and Veracruz and to which the Army already has in its sights.
Reports obtained by the hacking group Guacamaya detail the operation of a criminal group headed by Gabriel “N”, Gabo, along with at least 29 other people, including four workers of Petróleos Mexicanos and two national guardsmen.
Although it does not detail what kind of surveillance the Army maintains over the criminal network, the report highlights that there has been access to telephone conversations in which complicity is presumed with ministerial agents and former state officials.
