They capture 'El Conta', financial operator of the Unión Tepito
Two key financial operators of the Unión Tepito criminal organization were captured in Morelos, Mexico, along with weapons and illegal substances.
In a strategic operation conducted in the capital of Morelos state, authorities from the State Coordination Table for Peace and Security successfully arrested Edgar "N", known as "El Conta", and Marissa "N", known as "La Contadora". These individuals are identified as the main financial operators for the Unión Tepito criminal organization in the region, which is led by Milton Jair "N", alias "El Tepis". Their capture signifies a significant blow to the organization's financial activities in the area.
The arrests took place in a commercial plaza, where authorities seized military-grade weapons, doses of fentanyl, cocaine, and crystal meth, along with a luxury vehicle that was intended to be used as a bribe to escape justice. The involvement of such drugs points towards the serious narcotics issues prevalent in Morelos and the ominous presence of organized crime that has been plaguing the state for years.
The Unión Tepito group has left a trail of systematic violence in Morelos during the last six years, indicating the challenges faced by law enforcement in curbing criminal activities in the area. The arrests of El Conta and La Contadora may lead to vital information regarding the finances and operations of the criminal organization, potentially impacting its influence and control in the region.
