The United States Department of Justice has filed charges against the governor of Sinaloa, Rubén Rocha Moya, and nine other officials. They are accused of conspiring with the Sinaloa Cartel to import narcotics in exchange for political support and bribes. The indictment reveals a network of collaboration between public power and organized crime.
Criminal management software: efficiency in illegal logistics 💻
Criminal organizations have modernized their operations through data management platforms and encrypted communication. According to DEA reports, the Sinaloa Cartel uses GPS tracking systems and encrypted messaging apps to coordinate shipments. These technological advances allow for optimizing trafficking routes and minimizing interception risks. The integration of artificial intelligence software to predict law enforcement movements is now a common practice in organized crime.
The state payroll: when the salary includes cocaine bonuses 💰
It seems Governor Rocha Moya confused the state budget with an investment fund for the cartel. The bribes, according to the indictment, were paid in cash and promises of impunity. One wonders if the next labor reform will include a section for productivity bonuses in drug trafficking. At least, the Sinaloa bureaucracy shows it knows how to diversify its sources of income.
