Members of the The Mexican army sold weapons to a México state-based drug cartel
a hacking group that infiltrated the IT system of the Ministry of National Defense (Sedena)
In a 2019 intelligence report obtained by the non-governmental organization Mexicans Against Corruption and Impunity (MCCI)
Sedena said it was aware that a soldier offered weapons and tactical gear to a crime group in May of that year
The soldier also provided information about military movements and operations to the Tejupilco-based cartel
The soldier offered 70 fragmentation grenades to “operators of the crime group” at a cost of 26,000 pesos (US $1,300 at today’s exchange rate) each on May 31
The unnamed cartel bought at least eight grenades
Via an analysis of the metadata of the soldier’s cell phone
authorities determined that he was based in Almoloya de Juárez
a México state municipality that is part of the metropolitan area of state capital Toluca
The supplier of the weapons and tactical gear to that soldier was another presumed soldier who was believed to be based at an army facility in Mexico City
The cartel members referred to the supplier as “antiguo” (oldie)
but neither he nor the vendor were formally identified in the Sedena report
MCCI said that Sedena intercepted calls in which a criminal leader sought to buy from the army 2,000 rounds of AK-47 ammunition
5,000 rounds of AR-15 ammunition and 50 magazines for each of those firearms
It was unclear whether that request was fulfilled
The anti-graft group also said that the Almoloya de Juárez-based soldier
offered to tip criminals off as to the whereabouts of a regional prosecutor in Amecameca – a México state municipality 60 kilometers southeast of central Mexico City – as they allegedly planned to murder him
recently stole 6 terabytes of data from Sedena servers
Among the information that has been leaked are details about President López Obrador’s poor health and plans for an army-operated commercial airline

installing and even kidnapping political candidates in México state as they seek favorable conditions to operate under after the June 6 elections
The newspaper Reforma spoke with local leaders of several political parties
who revealed that threats have been made against their candidates in Valle de Bravo
all municipalities in southern México state
criminal groups blocked Democratic Revolution Party (PRD) Mayor Eliza Ojeda from seeking reelection
Criminal groups demanded that Carmen Albarrán be installed as the mayoral candidate for a coalition made up of the PRD
the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) and the National Action Party (PAN)
Those three parties formed an alliance in December to increase their chances of beating Morena party candidates in many municipalities and federal and state electoral districts across Mexico
coalition candidate Luisa Martínez González has received threats from organized crime
The PRD has reported the threats to México state electoral authorities but the state government has not publicly commented on organized crime’s intervention in the electoral process
criminal groups also allegedly “imposed” the Morena party candidate for mayor
part of México state’s Tierra Caliente region
PRI-PAN-PRD candidate Rigoberto López has received threats
a popular tourist town and weekend destination for Mexico City residents
organized crime took an even more hands-on approach this week
mayoral candidate for the PRI-PAN-PRD coalition
was kidnapped on Monday while she was campaigning at the Velo de Novia waterfall in Avándaro
The former sprinter and hurdler who competed at the 2008 Olympic Games was allegedly abducted by members of the Familia Michoacana cartel
According to witness accounts cited by noted political columnist Raymundo Riva Palacio in a piece published by the news website Eje Central on Thursday
Rodríguez was approached by two people and subsequently forced into a vehicle
Riva wrote that the candidate was driven 64 kilometers to Tejupilco
where a “person soaked in alcohol surrounded by an armed group” told her: “’Look
I just ask you to hide and drop out of the campaign.’”
Rodríguez asked whether she should leave the country and the person — who Riva said has been identified as Familia Michoacana leader Johnny Hurtado Olascoaga
also known as “El Pez” (The Fish) — reiterated that she should go into hiding and withdraw her candidacy for mayor
Hurtado and his brother José Alfredo lead a faction of the Familia Michoacana that has operated for more than a decade in the Tierra Caliente region of Guerrero and which controls the “criminal corridor” between Arcelia
He said the criminal cell is currently in an alliance with the Jalisco New Generation Cartel
generally considered Mexico’s most powerful and violent criminal organization
“’El Pez’ could have killed Rodríguez without any problem
but it’s clear that wasn’t his final intention
They [the Familia Michoacana] wanted to intimidate her
They wanted her to abandon her electoral campaign without violence and without attracting national attention
they achieved it: after the same criminals who abducted her at the Velo de Novia [waterfall] returned her to Avándaro
who hadn’t been seen in public since her abduction
appeared in a video on Thursday in which she said that she was well
She thanked her team for their “unconditional support” but didn’t speak about her political campaign or ask citizens to vote for her on June 6
Riva wrote that the motivation for the Familia Michoacana’s actions was to help the Morena party mayoral candidate
The Olascoaga brothers had injected resources into electoral campaigns
according to people with knowledge of the political life in the south of México state
install their people in the municipal ministries of Security and Public Works or to pressure and extort council members
… What is unprecedented is that they bet on a specific candidate,” he wrote
At the same time as Rodríguez was kidnapped
federal customs chief Horacio Duarte — in concert “deliberately or coincidentally” with the criminals — arrived unannounced at the offices of the current PRI mayor of Valle de Bravo
to warn him to withdraw his support for the PRI-PAN-PRD candidate
allegedly threatened to have the federal tax agency
investigate the mayor if he didn’t do as he was told
Citing information provided by people who personally know Rodríguez
Riva also wrote that people identified as members of Morena are watching her house to see who is visiting her
is to infer whether the former athlete still plans to contest the June 6 election
“… The state can’t allow actions of this nature in which a criminal group meddles in an electoral process where — if their apparent candidate is successful — they will implant criminal power into public power,” the columnist wrote
He urged the federal government to investigate Rodríguez’s abduction and the actions of Duarte to determine “his alleged responsibility in the criminal events” of this week
“The symptoms shown by the microcosm of Valle de Bravo are clearly those of narco-politics,” Riva wrote
adding that given the increasing number of examples of criminal involvement in politics
the federal government cannot continue to stand on the margins and not act against “this accelerated deterioration of public life.”
