"Socalj" for Borderland Beat
The Mexican Navy, in service as the Coast Guard in coordination with the Customs and Maritime Authorities of the Port of Ensenada secured three containers on board a container ship that held approximately 39,820 kilograms of material contaminated with cocaine.
Samples of the materials were sent to the Pharmacology and Toxicology laboratories of the Secretary of the Navy and the National Customs Agency of Mexico, for analysis. The tests came back positive for cocaine. The Attorney General of Mexico (FGR) is investigating the seizure.

| The Port of Ensenada is Mexico's 4th busiest commercial port. |
It is not known what material (liquid or a powdered form) was tested to determine if the entire weight of nearly 40 metric tons is primarily all cocaine or if the materials only tested positive for being contaminated with the substance.
 |
| 26 tons of cocaine-contaminated zeolite was seized in Veracruz the day before. |
A similar event took place at the Port of Veracruz with nearly 26 tons of zeolite (rock materials used in water filtration and for aquarium decoration) that was contaminated with cocaine was seized. The seized material was in a container from Cartagena, Colombia containing 530 sacks, of 50 kilograms each, with zeolite contaminated with cocaine, with an approximate weight of 26,500 kilograms.

According to the Secretary of the Navy, this method used by organized crime consists of intentionally contaminating a legal product, for the purpose of concealing the illegal substance.
Of the 10 killed, it is known that one was a local municipal official, José Eduardo Orozco Gil, who was a delegate from the town of San Antonio de las Minas. Two victims were traffickers associated with CAF in Ensenada. Alonso Arámbula Piña also known as "El Trebol" was said to be the target of the massacre. Another man also tied to CAF named Oscar Ivan Perez, also known as "Scarface" was killed as well.

After the attack on the event's Facebook page, he shared a small message in which he spoke about the events: “The Cachanillazo family joins this unfortunate tragedy. Unfortunately, what happened during the tour was not in our hands. We are wholeheartedly sorry for the losses and their families. Our sincere condolences. We are as baffled as all of you since we have nothing related to what happened.”

A narco manta in response to the killings was discovered on the Tecate-Ensenada highway in Valle de Guadalupe stating:
"The Arzate brothers once again hide their hands. While sending their filthy operative Ranchero and killing innocents, using their purchased media to alter the narrative. Stay tuned because we’re not going to be wrong. Yours truly, La Mera Verga."
 |
Los Arzate brothers, Rene Arzate “La Rana” and Alfonso Arzate García, “El Aquiles”.
|
| The Los Arzate brothers work for the El Mayo faction of the Sinaloa Cartel against CAF and CJNG in the Tijuana, Baja California area. It is not currently known if the killings were related to the seizure of cocaine at the port. |
There's no way it was that many kilos, right? Something is off in the reporting, or the way it's explained, though translation.
ReplyDeletePlease note that 'cocaine contaminated material' is mentioned throughout. Meaning the material weighed 40 tons, the amount of cocaine isnt known.
Deleteor am I just wrong?
DeleteIt’s kinda like this You could take a gallon of water put a gram of coke in it and now you have 8 pounds of contaminated water/meth
DeleteDr. J
DeleteSocalj gave the answer and it's in the article, contaminated means other foreign matter adds to the weigh.
Yea I was gonna say 40 tons so many people are gonna die jfc
Delete@01:57 ehy mate, the reason for the seemingly large amount of product is to keep clean cocaine pumping through Mexico to Chicago Illinois - the cocaine capital of the world. Those commodity stock brokers need their go go juice 🧃.
DeleteThis is a common method of smuggling cocaine from Colombia. After the shipment is received it is processed to remove and recover the cocaine to sell. Maybe there's just 3-5 tons of coca mixed with rocks.
My goldfish just ate my pyranha. I wonder if he got some of those contaminated rocks.
Deleteabsolutely correct. coke was in 40 tons zeolite from China the same as the 26 tons of same material seized the day before. Cocaine content a fraction of the total weight of the zeolite.
ReplyDeleteThe zeolite was from cartagena colombia
DeleteCreative ! How do they sort out the good stuff ?
ReplyDeleteChemical process. 40 tons might net 10 tons of actual cocaine, most likely less, I'd guess 4 or 5.
DeleteHa, yeah right… they just crush it all up and repress it all with the usual cuts to make it “white and shiny” again…
DeleteYou think they give a shit a shit what the addicts put up their noses?
How in the fuck a drug trafficker can think that it wld be ok to be a race car driver and go racing or go to races when you have enemies hunting you down. Its like he wanted to die. Anf how fucking dumb are the shooters to kill so many when they have one man as target.
ReplyDeleteNo one ever said drug traffickers were smart
DeleteSpray and pray
DeleteBecause it's more important to show off in social media at all cost regardless of the danger.
DeleteIts just another way for the authorities to hide what they really confiscated and sell back to the cartel.
ReplyDeleteOff-topic, but did anyone hear the story of the train derailment on the west coast that exposed a tanker car that was missing 60,000 pounds of ammonium nitrate… Now let’s hope and pray that an idiot or psychopath or one of the cartels didnt get a hold of it… 60,000 pounds of ammonium nitrate. For context, Timothy McVeigh used several tons-estimates were 3 to 4×60,000 pounds is of course 30 tons if you add just a little fuel oil with it and and the way to introduce some fire and you’ve got a world class explosion that would kill many people and be a tragedy like this country has never seen. According to federal and railroad officials, the fertilizer simply disappeared after a trip south down the west coast… Yes 30 tons of highly explosive material simply disappeared. That’s got to be total BS
ReplyDeleteHave you first considered the source of that information?
DeleteEvery major news outlet is reporting on it…
DeleteDon't worry sunny boy be happy 😀.
DeleteI was caused by a leak.
DeleteThey are preparing the public to buy into this pretty good story they've concocted, something about the shit "evaporating" little by little over the 5 day period it was in transit..
ReplyDeleteLeaky pipe, nothing to be concerned about, jaja..
