The Interrogation Of Germán Alegría Estrada

"Sol Prendido" for Borderland Beat

The name of the shadowy figure known as El Güero Pulseras returns to Borderland Beat yet again in another video. This obese bad boy has been getting down for the mighty Cartel de Sinaloa (CDS) for a number of years now. 

Every movement that he has made thus far as an operative for CDS remains unimpeded in the state of Chiapas. The actions of his adversaries have yet to take him out. 

For this broadcast, police chief Germán Alegría Estrada will reveal on camera the names of all guilty parties allegedly involved within the criminal landscape of Chiapas. 

From every town that they hold control over and have illicit business dealings in. To the intimate details of a local merchant who was recently killed right after his abduction. 

All municipalities mentioned exist within an area of operations of no more than 200 miles in length. 

Police chief Estrada was killed with one gunshot to his head off camera right after his interrogation. 

Video translation is as follows:

Interrogator: What’s your name and what position do you hold for the government?

Captive: My name is Germán Alegría Estrada. And I am the director of the municipal police in the town of Berriozábal.

Interrogator: What other job do you hold?

Captive: I’m in charge of the plaza for Jesus Machado Meza aka El Güero Pulseras in Berriozábal.

Interrogator: Do you have knowledge of Pulseras hierarchy in the state of Chiapas?

Captive: Yes. 

Interrogator: Tell us everything you know. 

Captive: Jair Hernández Terán and his brother alias Travieso are in charge of the plaza for the city of Tapachula. They also have Gordo Ernesto Molina, a government employee, on board with them. We currently have very few hitmen. We’re having to do most of the work ourselves. In addition, there’s a checkpoint in the town of Tuzantán. If they happen to see something in that area that needs to be handled. There’s a house there where people are brought in to be interrogated. And if the individuals are good to go, someone in the town of Tonalá is notified about this. 

Interrogator: Who exactly is notified in Tonalá?

Captive: The person in charge there is El Fresa. He’s the individual that’s notified. Just the same, they only have 10 individuals within their group. The people who operate there are a mob for Commander Marin. If it happens to be them that capture a suspicious person. They then hand that person over to Fresa. 

Interrogator: What else can you tell me?

Captive: My shift is on Fridays and Saturdays. And I follow their orders. 

Interrogator: What all do you know about the car wash merchant and why he was abducted?

Captive: He was directly dealt with from people at the top. I was contacted by Commander Gopes, his last name is Rojas. Word had come down from the bosses that they had to be abducted. I was instructed to turn the cameras away. We used a Honda CRV and a Chevy Tacoma, both white in color. They killed the merchant and the other individual was taken away. 

Interrogator: Who exactly are you referring to when you say people at the top?

Captive: When I say from the top I’m referring to Gabriela Cepeda and Panchito Orantes (Francisco Javier Orantes Abadía - Undersecretary of Security). They’re the ones who give out the orders to Commander Rojas. 

Interrogator: How do you guys operate in the city of Tuxtla (Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas)?

Captive: They have 2 or 3 vehicles in Tuxtla where they operate. Law enforcement handles all of the jobs. They set up the cameras and erase the video footage afterwards. Everything has been prearranged beforehand with the C5 (Command, Control, Computing, Communications and Citizen Contact Center) personnel. The apprehensions are made by the PEP (State Preventive Police) agents or any other police authority in Tuxtla. They’re then handed over to Pulseras mob. Both Alexis Zuart, director of police for the city of Tuxtla. And Marco Antonio Burguete Ramos, director of the State Border Police, gather there. 

Interrogator: What else can you tell me outside of this?

Captive: I know that Ivan Meras aka El 300 is in charge of Villa Las Rosas and that he’s currently a government employee. He’s the son in law of Orantes and brother in law of Yair aka El Hercules. Alex Cruz aka El Pelón is in charge for the towns of Venustiano Carranza and San Francisco Pujiltic. He runs all of that area. In fact he’s the individual responsible for the abduction of businessman Carlos Amadeo Moguel, which took place recently in the city of Tuxtla. He’s the person who worked him over. And in the city of Comitán, everyone already knows that mayor Mario Guillén aka El Señor Fox is Güero Pulseras boss. He created a tactical unit for the municipal police for the sole purpose of being able to safely patrol everywhere. 

Interrogator: What about for the town of Suchiapa?

Captive: They have people in the ranches, family members of politician Jorge Luis Llaven Abarca. He’s the actual godfather of both Gabriela Cepeda and Panchito. He’s interested in never losing that municipality. And that they remain the only individuals who hold control over that airport. 

Interrogator: What message would you like to give out to the everyone? 

Captive: Well, for them to think long and hard about what they’re going to do here. Things aren’t as easy as it seems. We were promised so many things and given very little in return. It’s not worth it to give support to people who come in from other states. Because if they lose the war. The only thing that they’re going to do is go back to their home state. And the problem is done and over with on their end.
