A large operation carried out in Mérida by elements of the State Investigation Police (PEI) of the Public Security Secretariat (SSP) and the State Attorney General’s Office (FGE) resulted in the arrest of “El Skiny,” a criminal leader of extortion in Quintana Roo.
The operation was conducted in collaboration with their counterparts in Quintana Roo, leading to the capture of this man and two women, all linked to a criminal gang from that state involved in homicide, extortion, and drug dealing.
Who are the detainees?
The detainees are Zacarías G. G., alias “El Skiny,” Brenda Estefanía C. U., and Mariana Guadalupe U. M.
“El Skiny” is identified as the leader of the criminal group operating in the municipality of Benito Juárez, Quintana Roo, specifically in the Kukulkán Boulevard area and the beaches of Cancún.
While his partner Brenda Estefanía and Mariana Guadalupe are holders of bank cards where the extortion money was deposited, a crime for which they have arrest warrants.
The action by Yucatecan authorities that led to the location and capture of these individuals reaffirms the commitment to society that crimes will not go unpunished and that those who commit crimes in other states and seek refuge in Yucatán will be pursued according to the law and brought before the competent authorities.
Who is Zacarías G. G., alias “El Skiny”?
Zacarías “N” was one of the priority targets of Mexico’s Crime Atlas, with at least three arrest warrants for aggravated homicide in Cancún.
The crimes committed between May and October of this year on Kukulkán Boulevard included the murder of a minor and two other men.
Additionally, the criminal group is related to extortion and drug dealing in Benito Juárez.
After their capture, Zacarías and his accomplices were transferred to the Social Reintegration Center of Quintana Roo, where they will face justice.
Their legal situation is expected to be defined in the coming days, while investigations continue to completely dismantle the criminal structure they led.
