Chivis Note: Delays usually end favorably with defendants. Often released on the basis of human rights violations
One year and nine
months after being behind bars, in the process of Leticia Rodríguez Lara (a)
“Doña Lety” or “La 40”, only the initial hearing was held in which she was
linked to the process and she was issued informal pretrial detention, a
situation that could be capitalized by her defense lawyers who could allege
violations of due process, since they consider that the client is in a state of
defenselessness.
Rodríguez Lara, former
agent of "missing persons" Federal Judicial Police, according to the accusations
of the also disappeared Attorney General's Office (now the Attorney General's
Office), was the head of the Cancun Cartel and controlled the retail sale of
drugs, mainly cocaine, in several of the municipalities of Quintana Roo,
mainly in the hotel zone of Cancun.
According to Sol
Quintana Roo, she was captured on August 9, 2017, in the state of Puebla, when
she went to visit her son José Rafael Socci Rodríguez, “El Dóber”, in the
prison of that state, after she had she was arrested in Cancun, a month
earlier, on July 7, in possession of firearms, cartridges, drugs and stolen
vans.
The woman was
apprehended along with Fernando Arellano Carbajal and Rafael Quiroz Alfaro who
were acting as federal agents, a situation that they used to alert women about
the actions that the authorities could take against the so-called Cancun
Cartel, formed by deserters from the Cartel from the Gulf, Los Zetas and other
criminal organizations.
After her capture, the
woman and the former agents who also served as their escorts were placed at the
disposal of the District Judge Specialized in the Accusatory Criminal System,
attached to the Federal Criminal Justice Center in the State of Mexico, Iván
Aarón Zeferín Hernández, who he linked them to trial on April 10, 2018,
pursuant to criminal case 152/2018, for crimes against health and organized
crime and decreed them for informal preventive detention.
José Rafael Socci
Rodríguez was also linked to the trial, within the same criminal case, upon
discovering that he was also part of the Cancun Cartel in which he held an
important position, as the son of the head of the organization.
According to the
accusations, Leticia Rodríguez was the leader of a criminal group dedicated to
the narcotics trade in Cancun, Playa del Carmen and Alfredo V. Bonfil, in
Quintana Roo, who along with her son José Rafael controlled retail drug dealers
in those areas.
Leticia Rodríguez,
after defecting from the federal corporation, began as a retail drug seller,
that is, as a simple drug dealer, but in a short time she began to form her own
organization with former convicts, deserters from Los Zetas, from the Gulf
Cartel and gradually became seizing the square.
The organization, which
joined the Sinaloa Cartel, would have been operating since 2005, mainly in the
hotel zone, bars and beaches of these resorts, under the protection of local
and federal authorities, in exchange for periodic economic remuneration and
high gifts cost, like motor vehicles.
The Cancun Cartel had
local or territorial narcotics distributors or sellers and a large group of
people that served as an armed arm for their protection, while Fernando
Arellano and Rafael Quiroz, as
Active elements of the
Federal Police favored the activities of the organization, by providing all
kinds of information obtained from intelligence investigations.
But they also
investigated the antagonistic groups of “Doña Lety”, such as the Jalisco New
Generation Cartel, Los Pelones, the Gulf Cartel, Los Zetas and others, and
reported to their chief everything related to these organizations, as well as
the operations that would be carried out against her by the Attorney General's
Office, the Federal Police, the Secretary of the Navy and Defense.
Currently Leticia
Rodríguez Lara is confined in the Federal Center for Social Rehabilitation CPS
16, Femenil Morelos and her son José Rafael Socci Rodríguez, in the North Men's
Preventive Prison.
Regarding Fernando
Arellano Carbajal and Rafael Quiroz Alfaro, in their capacity as former public
servants, they remain in the Federal Center for Social Readaptation 1,
Altiplano, in the State of Mexico.
All of them are waiting
for their process to be formally initiated that, being stagnant, the defense of
the accused cannot take any action in favor of their clients and less try to
provide evidence of their innocence to the court where their cause lies .
Before the slowness of
the court where she was linked to the process, the lawyers contemplate the
possibility of filing a complaint before the Federal Judicial Council, so that
they can expedite the trial and can begin to operate in favor of the accused,
who, they say, "they are in a state of defenselessness".
HER STORY
Leticia Rodríguez Lara
is 49 years old and is originally from Veracruz; belonged to the disappeared
Federal Judicial Police and was assigned to Quintana Roo, only that, like some
drug lords like Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo, they decided to change sides and
join the criminal ranks.
After leaving the
corporation, she started as a retail drug saleswoman, but in a short time she
began to form her own organization with former convicts and deserters of other
drug cartels.
But she not only
dedicated herself to the traffic of unnervants, but extended her tentacles to
other illicit ones, such as extortions to hotel and restaurant entrepreneurs,
mainly from the hotel zone; to owners of bars, clubs, nightclubs and nightclubs
with variety, as well as merchants from the municipalities of Xel-Ha, Tulum.
Cozumel, Isla Mujeres, Puerto Morelos and Playa del Carmen, among others.
Their illicit
diversified the collection of flat, rent to small-scale drug dealers, extortion
to entrepreneurs and absolute control of the sale of drugs, through taxi drivers,
magazine and newspaper vendors, as well as street vendors.
As you will remember,
she was arrested in Puebla after being located by the intelligence services of
the SEIDO and the Semar, as confirmed by unofficial sources at the time.
With this action the
main organization that operated in this tourist pole was dismantled, who is
responsible for violent events in the tourist area, in addition to having
forged a network of narcomenudeo that grew to become one of the most violent
cells linked to the Cartel from Sinaloa.
"Doña Lety"
took notoriety as she managed to take over the square that disputed the
criminal organization of "Los Zetas" in the tourist area of Cancun.

ReplyDeleteI found playa del carmen to be peaceful this past January. Quiet with no worries when in the restaurant and shopping district.
DeleteLike many cities where business flows extortion and drug sales have always continued by those criminal organizations. However, not to the annoying behavior that one might expect.
