La historia criminal de la narcotraficante que aparentemente hered\u00f3 la red que sol\u00eda ser dirigida por el capo del crimen \u201cJuan Chamal\u00e9\u201d arroja luz sobre los v\u00ednculos entre los principales grupos criminales de Centroam\u00e9rica y c\u00f3mo estos facilitan el tr\u00e1fico de drogas a lo largo de la regi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Las autoridades internacionales han acusado a Sebastiana Hortencia Cott\u00f3n V\u00e1squez, alias \u201cTana\u201d o \u201cDo\u00f1a\u201d, de 59 a\u00f1os<\/a> de edad, por el tr\u00e1fico de 40 toneladas de coca\u00edna hacia Estados Unidos a trav\u00e9s de Centroam\u00e9rica. Fue capturada el 8 de octubre en el sur de M\u00e9xico y al parecer trabajaba con el Cartel de Sinaloa<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Seg\u00fan La Prensa Gr\u00e1fica<\/a> los investigadores de Nicaragua la han se\u00f1alado como la heredera del grupo criminal que estuvo al mando del extraditado narcotraficante guatemalteco Juan Alberto Ortiz L\u00f3pez, alias \u201cJuan Chamal<\/a>\u00e9\u201d. Tras la captura de Chamal\u00e9, V\u00e1squez habr\u00eda desarrollado profundos v\u00ednculos con las operaciones del grupo criminal nicarag\u00fcense \u201cLos Charros\u201d. En 2012, el grupo fue relacionado con el asesinato de un famoso cantante argentino<\/a>, y en 2013, 13 miembros del grupo fueron condenados por tr\u00e1fico de drogas<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n V\u00e1squez tambi\u00e9n estar\u00eda vinculada<\/a> a la organizaci\u00f3n narcotraficante de los Valle en Honduras \u2013cuyos principales lideres fueron capturados recientemente- y a la red del capo salvadore\u00f1o Jorge Ulloa Sibri\u00e1n<\/a>, alias \u201cRepollo\u201d, quien fue detenido en Guatemala en 2013 y actualmente est\u00e1 siendo juzgado en su pa\u00eds de origen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tras su captura, V\u00e1squez fue deportada a Guatemala, y actualmente enfrenta una posible extradici\u00f3n a Estados Unidos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Los presuntos v\u00ednculos de V\u00e1squez con varios grupos criminales de Centroam\u00e9rica son una se\u00f1al de lo flexibles que necesitan ser los operativos criminales en esta regi\u00f3n, sobre todo cuando se trata de tr\u00e1fico de drogas. Las redes de transporte de drogas de Centroam\u00e9rica generalmente mueven coca\u00edna en funci\u00f3n de las necesidades de los carteles mexicanos, en lugar de mantener lealtad a un solo grupo en particular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n VEA TAMBI\u00c9N:<\/span><\/strong> Noticias y Perfiles Guatemala<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Este tipo de relaciones flexibles tambi\u00e9n han salido a la luz durante el juicio en curso de Repollo -que seg\u00fan el testimonio de uno de los miembros clave de su red, estaba asociado con 11 peque\u00f1as c\u00e9lulas de narcotr\u00e1fico<\/a> en Panam\u00e1, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras y Guatemala. Mientras tanto, en el caso de los Valle, adem\u00e1s de sus presuntos v\u00ednculos con V\u00e1squez, se cree que han trabajado con Jairo Orellana Morales<\/a>, un narcotraficante guatemalteco cuya afici\u00f3n por el robo de cargamentos de droga le ha ganado el titulo de \u201cEl Rey de Tumbes.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" La historia criminal de la narcotraficante
