Francisco, o Frank, Zeled\u00f3n, presuntamente dirige una red de narcotr\u00e1fico desde la ciudad de Bluefields, en la Costa Caribe de Nicaragua, aunque entre los locales es mejor conocido como un empresario, hacendado y constructor de barcos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Historia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Investigadores antinarc\u00f3ticos de la polic\u00eda dijeron a InSight Crime<\/a> que Zeled\u00f3n proporciona apoyo log\u00edstico a una red de trafico de drogas dirigida por Archibald Clayburn, propietario de un hotel en las Islas del Ma\u00edz a unos 80 kil\u00f3metros de la costa de Bluefields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aparentemente, Clayburn recibe cargamentos de coca\u00edna desde la isla de San Andr\u00e9s, en Colombia, y luego los entrega a Zeled\u00f3n, quien transporta las drogas hacia el norte, a lo largo de la Costa Caribe, utilizando botes con compartimientos secretos que presuntamente son construidos en un astillero de su propiedad<\/a>. Normalmente se le paga con coca\u00edna por sus servicios, la cual Zeled\u00f3n vende a la poblaci\u00f3n local.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Datos Francisco Zeled\u00f3n<\/h3>\n

Nacimiento:<\/strong> Diciembre 11, 1950<\/p>\n

Grupo:<\/strong> Red independiente
<\/a><\/p>\n

Actividades criminales:<\/strong> Tr\u00e1fico de drogas y ecotr\u00e1fico <\/p>\n

Estado:<\/strong> En libertad<\/p>\n

\u00c1rea de operaciones:<\/strong> Bluefields, Nicaragua<\/p>\n<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Las se\u00f1ales de la influencia pol\u00edtica de Zeled\u00f3n se comenzaron a hacer evidentes despu\u00e9s de uno (de varios) arrestos en mayo de 2011 por alteraciones del orden p\u00fablico, tras un altercado con un pastor evang\u00e9lico local. Zeled\u00f3n asegura que fue provocado, ya que la carretera estaba siendo bloqueada por una procesi\u00f3n religiosa, mientras que el pastor dijo que Zeled\u00f3n lo golpeo con la culata de su arma y lo amenaz\u00f3 con destruir su iglesia. Zeled\u00f3n s\u00f3lo estuvo detenido durante 12 horas, y los presos organizaron un mot\u00edn en la c\u00e1rcel donde se encontraba recluido, lo cual ha sido ampliamente interpretado como una expresi\u00f3n de apoyo al presunto narco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dos semanas despu\u00e9s de su arresto, el jefe de polic\u00eda de Bluefields fue trasladado de regreso a Managua. Zeled\u00f3n hab\u00eda criticado al comisionado Zambrana, entonces jefe de la polic\u00eda, quien s\u00f3lo estuvo en Bluefields durante un corto per\u00edodo de tiempo, diciendo: \u201cDesde que lleg\u00f3 aqu\u00ed ha dicho que soy un traficante de coca\u00edna, a pesar de que no tiene manera de probarlo\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actividades criminales<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Zeled\u00f3n presuntamente dirige una red de narcotr\u00e1fico, aunque no ha sido formalmente acusado de este delito. Tambi\u00e9n ha sido acusado de estar involucrado en el ecotr\u00e1fico y del env\u00edo de cargamentos de madera talada ilegalmente en las reservas forestales de Nicaragua.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geograf\u00eda<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Zeled\u00f3n reside en Bluefields, una remota ciudad portuaria en la Costa Caribe de Nicaragua, la cual es casi inaccesible por carretera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aliados y enemigos<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Se cree que Zeled\u00f3n ha patrocinado a candidatos pol\u00edticos locales, lo cual le ha garantizado cierto nivel de impunidad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perspectivas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A pesar de un largo historial de enfrentamientos con la polic\u00eda, Zeled\u00f3n actualmente no enfrenta cargos en Nicaragua. En 2013, durante el proceso que llev\u00f3 al desmantelamiento de la red de Ted Hayman, otro renombrado narcotraficante local<\/a>, Zeled\u00f3n consigui\u00f3 escurrirse con facilidad de ser judicializado.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
