Isla, Veracruz: Local Drug Distributor Video Interrogation

"Sol Prendido" for Borderland Beat

A new video from the Mexican underworld has just surfaced online. For this broadcast a young drug distributor is being held in captivity against his will. 

Under questioning he narrates his illicit affairs with the local Fuerza Civil, the Civil Force is a semiprivate police force.

The following film has been deemed safe for all to see. Just as well the fate of this man is currently unknown at this time.

Video translation is as follows:

Sicario: What’s your name?
Captive: Martin Olevo Jacobo. 
Sicario: Where are you originally from?
Captive: I am from Isla, Veracruz. 
Sicario: How old are you?
Captive: I am 22 years old. 
Sicario: Speak louder!
Captive: I am 22 years old. 
Sicario: What do you specialize in?
Captive: I am a construction laborer. 
Sicario: What else do you do?
Captive: I sell crystal meth and marijuana for a police agent within the Civil Force here in the city of Isla. 
Sicario: At what prices do you sell your product?
Captive: The crystal meth doses are sold anywhere between 200-250 pesos. And marijuana runs anywhere from 100-150 pesos. 
Sicario: What other contributions do you provide for the Civil Force?
Captive: I also pass them intel. And they in turn use this to charge a protection fee with whoever is financially successful. 
Sicario: And how exactly are they being charged?
Captive: It’s simply known as a protection fee. And it’s implemented by force. 
Sicario: Ok then. So, just the individuals who are successfully making money are being charged a protection fee and have to pay for the right to continue selling there?
Captive: Exactly, a protection fee. They are abusive and like to take advantage of everyone.

  4. This kid clearly looks like he hasn't had a good meal in years. Are these people trying to make a statement that even if you are poor and trying to live they don't give a fuck?

  5. that they picked him up, and clearly arent from that area, makes this even worse. why the hell would anyone pick up a sickly looking kid like him just because he is trying to live. No hearts or minds are going to be won over by killing a kid trying to survive

  6. Everybody knows this guys fate.

    If his captors let him go the the Fuerza took him in and tortured him to death for ratting.

    In the end: was he dumped somewhere in the bush or will he be found and buried by his family?

  8. "a la gente que trabaja bien"
    Just like the majority of all these videos, this dude was obviously told what to say, nobody is gonna just say they extort only those that work the right way. It's clearly that bullshit tactic all these people use to try to give them selves a "positive image" and try to bullshit the people that they're getting rid of the criminals, accusing their rivals of being the reason a community suffers and they're the heroes that came to save the day. We all know it's bullshit and it's getting old.

    A few years back the videos would give a good insight on the problems both groups would have. Normally the captive would be someone important and on the interrogation you realize they would talk about their involvement in an attack that you would actually have heard about, how it went down and you get an idea why they are at war and what happened. These were videos like La Barbie interrogating the Zetas, The Dude who explains how Arturo ordered la Barbie to send men to fight Chapo, the Video where CDS interrogated El Guacho, and even CJNG interrogating El Cholo.

    These newer videos seems like it's always some random defenseless tweaker an ordinary street corner dope dealer or an halcón but never anyone of importance that affects a cartel, they're always saying the same answers that they commit extortion, kidnappings and sell drugs for someone and a few cops are involved, the interrogator always trying to make it seem they got some important big bad guy off the street and giving their "we are the saints that came to end the murders and kidnappings" bullshit.

  9. Poor dude, you can see the fear in him, probably just an addict who's crimes he commits are probably just petty theft to feed his addiction while his captors do worse shit and pretend they're good guys.
    Young, small,skinny, poor, local drug dealer so no cartel protection, made him an easy target and probably why he was targeted.

    It's a sad situation overall how Mexico has this problem where this is just too common now and it still keeps on happening. Back then it was different seeing how these men who some spoke of as if they were legends, powerful men who seemed untouchable were suddenly being taken out, wether by their enemies or the government and it seemed like a sort of progress.

    Now we see it got worse, we see daily all these young guys are killing each other constantly by the bunch, and not for power or leadership positions like before, not for routes to other countries but for colonias and street corners. Innocents are no longer considered untouchable, now whole town's get burned down and their basic needs cut off. The ones involved are no longer just producers but also consumers which made the situation worse that's why they kill for street corners because their costumers aren't just the foreigners anymore but members of their own community.

    What sucks is how long it has been allowed to happen. Did a country really just got used to living in those conditions? How is it possible that everyone knows what's going on and for so many years been able to keep a blind eye and look the other way as if nothing happened and not grow tired of it? Mexico being one of the biggest countries, with good allies, full of resources, very rich (even if the population is mostly poor) and yet have these 3rd world problems and no shame not an effort to try to correct them.

    1. It's nice to read a thoughtful comment here. Good points.

  10. It's very hard to just say "Oh, he's just another worthless drug dealer so what if he's been tortured and murdered," I look at him and he's not getting rich from his dealing, hell I bet he struggles to even eat and yes I do know that dealing drugs is wrong but I also know that us as humans will do almost anything to survive, and yes even deal drugs. I know I at this point I could never be a sicario for one of the drug cartels because I look at this kid and feel very sad for him that he's in the position that he is and would tell him to get out of the drug game, and if he's willing to take his life in his hands dealing drugs here in Mexico, go to America and get an honest job because hell your a dead man staying here, at least in America you can make a little something and don't have to worry as much about being murdered by others in the drug cartel's. For those out there who will call me a piece of shit for being an American and telling poor kids in Mexico to illegally enter the US, I say for one damn minute put yourself in their shoes your government is corrupt as hell (not like the US government isn't as well) there isn't really any meaningful employment because your poorly educated and your starving, if you say that you wouldn't be looking North your a liar. I know this kid is dead now, but I really hope someday we as humans learn to care about one another, I know I'm fooling myself but I don't want evil to win.

    1. Good expression of life in Mexico. I am not going to put pity on you, because your telling the truth. What's fueling this issue is the government of Mexico, that does nothing, this trend will continue years to come.

  11. He appears rather healthy, has good teeth, and has a young cute appearance. Some chance then after fattening him up a bit that they will sell him into sex slavery for male clients like CDN does often in Tamaulipas.

    1. Lots of sinaloense men as customers for these boys, it’s seen very often here in Guasave and Culiacán. Boys from my middle school are forced to join as soldiers or sold into sex trade. Very frightening.

    2. Understood, the validation of the statement is appreciated because the Mexican printed press here is always nervous about reporting cartel crimes against humanity. How ironic that there are my fellow Mexicans that are actually for the cartels when such atrocity is in front of our collective faces. Reminds us of the historical realities of the Germans blinding their eyes to Nazi atrocities during that era. Yes, there will be those that demand there is no comparison to that which goes on in Mexico, moreover, if one's child is sold into sex slavery the parent might well think the comparison real.

    3. 2:27 that’s just BS Sinaloa has no human trafficking problems with boys it’s the girls who are often targets from foreign sex traffickers and local weirdos. stop spreading false information just because it’s what you consider a “rival” 🤦🏽‍♂️

      Delete
    4. 6:33, I'm not 2:27, but how do you think that you know what you claim? Your comment due to its absolutism might well suggest some allegiance to the cartel in question, so who are you please and or what do you do to know about such matters?

      Delete
    5. You’re a pocho that lives in the states cmon down here so you can see what really goes on I am afraid to walk home alone after school @6:33 maybe you can walk me macho men

    6. 10:13/11:12 i know you’re the same guy, this is a dead comment section that nobody else is commenting on or reading besides me and you 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️. and no I was born and lived in the area for over 2 decades I would know if things like that were happening. like i said no one is really worrying about boys being abducted, it’s teen girls who are often targets, they are harassed and abducted and taken to South American countries for prostitution. Why don’t you shed light on that instead of baseless inflammatory claims? That’s a new low to use propaganda about children being hurt like that 🤦🏽‍♂️ you sound like one of those pochos that think everything about Sinaloa is linked to cartels

    7. Wow, 9:18, no, you are dead wrong about why I was still following this article and comments, and I am not the "same guy" about whom you are having a tirade. Good to read about your experience because that is what I asked about, a simple question, how do you know what you know, and now you have answered. Moreover, your experience does not equate to being all knowing about what occurs elsewhere beyond your sphere. If you care about dialogue and establishing substantial critique on our Mexican societal woes then do keep an open mind and have decaf for a change. Cheers. Wishing you well.
