“Char” for Borderland Beat

DECEMBER 21, 2O24

In the following, interrogation video La Mayiza captured two alleged hitmen recruited by La Chapiza Cartel from a drug rehabilitation center in Mazatlan, Sinaloa. La Mayiza or MF Group, with help from the Los Cabrera Sarabia brothers’ criminal organization armed wing Los Flechas, are constantly pressuring plazas in the southern areas of Sinaloa, Concordia, Villa Union, and Mazatlan.

Cartels are known to prey on the most vulnerable (teenagers, drug rehabilitation centers) through their famous recruitment tactics, whether it is deceitful job offers like CJNG Cartel has been known to do or in this instance, La Chapiza’s forcible recruitment to replenish membership as their troops appeared to have suffered casualties from the onslaught of attack from the MF Group or La Mayiza.
