Informes de inteligencia obtenidos por los medios de comunicaci\u00f3n de Honduras muestran c\u00f3mo un capturado narcotraficante y ladr\u00f3n de coca\u00edna de Guatemala operaba con la complicidad de funcionarios hondure\u00f1os, destacando la importancia del pa\u00eds en las operaciones de tr\u00e1fico de drogas de Centroam\u00e9rica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seg\u00fan los informes de inteligencia a los que tuvo acceso El Heraldo<\/a>, funcionarios hondure\u00f1os suministraron documentos falsos a Jairo Orellana Morales, alias \u201cEl Pel\u00f3n\u201d, y a sus colaboradores, facilitando sus operaciones de narcotr\u00e1fico en la regi\u00f3n fronteriza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Miembros de la polic\u00eda nacional de Honduras presuntamente tambi\u00e9n dieron protecci\u00f3n a Orellana, permiti\u00e9ndole operar durante a\u00f1os en el pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Los informes tambi\u00e9n ofrecen detalles sobre las operaciones de El Pel\u00f3n en Honduras, identific\u00e1ndolo como autor de varios asesinatos por venganza en San Pedro Sula, y detallando su papel como un ladr\u00f3n de coca\u00edna que establec\u00eda negocios de drogas y posteriormente asesinaba a los proveedores y robaba sus cargamentos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Los nuevos detalles de las operaciones de Orellana surgen poco despu\u00e9s de que las autoridades confiscaran<\/a> 17 propiedades y cuatro empresas, y congelaran 22 cuentas bancarias en San Pedro Sula y Santa Cruz de Yojoa, que aparentemente est\u00e1n vinculadas con testaferros de Orellana en Honduras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Orellana, capturado en mayo<\/a>, hab\u00eda operado desde una temprana edad en la regi\u00f3n fronteriza de Guatemala y Honduras. Era conocido por sus cambiantes lealtades y por su predilecci\u00f3n por los \u201ctumbes\u201d (robos de droga), lo que le gan\u00f3 el t\u00edtulo de \u201cEl Rey del Tumbe\u201d y casi acab\u00f3 con su vida<\/a> en al menos una ocasi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Durante a\u00f1os, Orellana estuvo asociado con el clan Lorenzana, que operaba principalmente en los departamentos (provincia) guatemaltecos de Zacapa y Chiquimula. Tuvo un hijo con la hija del patriarca de la familia. Tambi\u00e9n se convirti\u00f3 en un importante socio comercial de los Zetas -quienes ten\u00edan v\u00ednculos con los Lorenzana- despu\u00e9s de que ellos comenzaran a operar en la regi\u00f3n. Sin embargo, cuando la influencia de los Zetas en Guatemala se redujo y la relaci\u00f3n de Orellana con los Lorenzana se deterior\u00f3, aparentemente comenz\u00f3 a vender coca\u00edna<\/a> a los grupos rivales de M\u00e9xico, entre ellos el Cartel de Sinaloa<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n VEA TAMBI\u00c9N:<\/span><\/strong> Perfil de los Lorenzana<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Las operaciones de El Pel\u00f3n en el lado hondure\u00f1o de la frontera no son ning\u00fan secreto. Orellana operaba particularmente en el departamento de Cop\u00e1n, hogar del grupo criminal los Valles, y probablemente dependi\u00f3 de su apoyo para llevar a cabo sus operaciones -aunque esto pudo haber cambiado despu\u00e9s de que en 2012<\/a> presuntamente robara un importante cargamento de coca\u00edna que pertenec\u00eda al grupo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Los \u00faltimos informes ayudan a ilustrar el alcance de la influencia de Orellana en Honduras, y c\u00f3mo esta red de apoyo facilitaba sus operaciones. La polic\u00eda hondure\u00f1a es notoriamente corrupta<\/a>, y la regi\u00f3n fronteriza, donde hay poca presencia del Estado central<\/a>, es particularmente vulnerable a la influencia del crimen en la pol\u00edtica<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Informes de inteligencia obtenidos por los medios de comunicaci\u00f3n de Honduras muestran c\u00f3mo un capturado
