The murderer from Mexico, who arrived in Romania to mount a transport of hundreds of kilograms of cocaine and methamphetamine through the port of Constanza, was part of a group so violent that the Americans considered her a terrorist. The individual arrived in Bucharest as a tourist, accompanied by his wife and two children, including a baby. He chose Romania because the mafia network wanted to expand to new Western European countries and he believed it was safe here. He did not suspect that our police officers were cooperating with the authorities in the United States and in any other country he feared that they would arrest him. In fact, it was the man’s first departure from Mexico, and he only obtained his passport a few days before leaving. He was shocked by the meeting with the police even when he got off the plane, at Otopeni airport, but he did not object to the arrest. The details were revealed, for the first time, by one of the anti-drug officers, who participated in the mission to capture the trafficker.
Ofi Ofer DCCO: “Both the Mexican and the American states are considered a terrorist group. Last year, after searches of members of the group, which also included our suspect, drones with plastic explosives were discovered on board. And the costume and the cars they used have a military touch, that’s why they are very popular with everyone.
They are also known for correlating drug trafficking with violence, torturing people who collaborated with the police, people who cheated in certain transactions or simply rival groups.
They intended to organize drug shipments through Romania, bound for Western European countries. When a criminal group like them wants to expand in certain areas, then a very important person in the organization will have to travel to that place, to see at a glance that the matter is serious.
He arrived in Romania in March, but the operation began six months earlier, during which time he cooperated with US authorities, DEEA, Homeland Security, and US Marshals. He arrived as a tourist with part of his family.
Later, it sought to develop its drug transport network and routes from South America to Europe. He traveled very little, according to the data we have, he did not leave the territory of the continent where he lived, precisely because of the fear that drug traffickers in Mexico have permanently towards the authorities in the United States. They know what they are doing and believe they can be caught at any moment.
He bought a passport shortly before his trip to Romania. I don’t think I ever thought that in Romania there will be a procedure in which the United States of America will get involved ”..
Ioana Ciurlea, Digi24 journalist: So you imagined that by coming to Romania you would arrive at a safe place?
Ofi Ofer DCCO: “Exactly. That’s why it was so easy. Not all traffickers, especially those with a well-defined role in a network, travel so lightly and without the company of trusted persons or bodyguards.“.
Ioana Ciurlea, Digi24 journalist: What was his reaction when he saw you, when you told him that there was an arrest warrant in his name?
Ofi Ofer DCCO: “At first he was very quiet and restrained, they will probably teach them to react in a certain way when, in any country, someone from the police approaches them, but later, understanding that it is an official act issued by the United States Department of Justice He realized that he was in touch with what he was doing and from that moment he was amazed that even here someone was following him. He was placed in preventive detention for his extradition and his family members returned to Mexico a few days later. “.
