Brunette until 10 months ago I had four important financial operators. Today only one is alive. Of the other three, two were executed and one died in a plane crash. Coincidences? Some do not believe it and think that there is a pattern to eliminate those who handled the money, but there is no evidence that links the three deaths that impacted two former presidential candidates, Marcelo Ebrard and Adam Augusto Lopezand hits the president of Morena, Mario Delgadowhich coordinates the campaign Claudia Sheinbaum. In any case, this is one of the most sordid stories of the presidential succession where nothing happened on the surface, but a lot happened – and is happening – in the political plumbing of power.
The first to die was Daniel Flores Nava, Lopez financial operatorwhen the small plane in which he was traveling crashed when leaving Veracruz, heading to Toluca on July 28. The second was José Guadalupe Fuentes Brito, Ebrard financial operatormurdered on the night of Saturday, July 29, along with his son a few kilometers after leaving Chilpancingo, on the Autopista del Sol heading to Cuernavaca. The third was Carlos Narvaez Romero, Lopez financial operatormurdered in Mexico City on May 13 when he returned from dropping his son off at school.
Who killed them? It is not known. What caused the plane to crash? There is also no conclusive information. Their deaths remain a mystery.
Flores Nava was a government contractor and was one of the beneficiaries of the construction of the Dos Bocas refinery. The increase in his fortune during this six-year term was galloping. According to Animal Político, he founded Proyecta in 2011, a company that during the six-year term of the former president Enrique Pena Nieto obtained contracts for 196 million pesos. But in the first half of the government of Andrés Manuel López Obradorobtained contracts for more than 27 billion pesos, an increase of 13 thousand percent.
The plane, according to intelligence sources, belonged to three partners, Flores Nava, Fernando Padilla, the financial operator of Brunette who is still alive, and Sergio Carmona, “the king of huachicol,” who paid for dozens of electoral campaigns for the ruling party, including eight for the governorships in 2021, and was murdered in Monterrey in November 2021. Carmona has been linked to Delgado in criminal investigations in Mexico and the United States, who are also linked to the trafficking of stolen fuel and resources of illicit origin. The president of Morena has denied it.
The second financial operator of Morena to die, the real estate, automotive and marketing businessman in the governments of Héctor Astudillo and Evelyn Salgado, José Guadalupe Fuentes Brito, was very close to Ebrard, and operated from Guerrero, a state where the former foreign minister had been for decades. has had an important base of political support. He was the uncle of Rubén Hernández Fuentes, Salgado’s current partner, and he joined the conflict between the three main criminal organizations in Guerrero, Los Tlacos, Los Ardillos and La Familia Michoacana.
The investigations into his murder, apparently suspended, are a mystery. Nothing is known about his executioners or the motives for the murder. It is the same thing that happens with the two murderers of Narváez Romero, whom López, from his position as Secretary of the Interior, promoted as the Customs administrator after the departure of Horacio Duarte, a position that has been a kind of loot during this six-year term. , around which dark relationships have been woven, particularly during the first part of the six-year term, when the head of Customs was Ricardo Peralta, who appointed Julio Carmona, brother of the “king of huachicol” as administrator of the Reynosa customs -in This space was incorrectly indicated as being the Altamira space, and that today it is a protected witness in the United States.
With Flores Nava, Fuentes Brito and Narváez Romero missing, only Padilla remains, the most powerful man in López’s entourage, who connects with the entire network of political complicities and strange relationships around Carmona. Padilla is linked to Rosalinda Hernández, sister of the former Secretary of the Interior, and currently general administrator of the Federal Tax Audit of the SAT. Together with her, Padilla collected resources from invoice workers throughout the country for her brother’s presidential campaign. He also brought him into Sheinbaum’s campaign.
Padilla operates alongside Delgado and Morena’s finance secretary, Javier Cabiedes, a key figure in the party president’s overt and shadowy financial strategy, as well as Édgar Garza, who according to intelligence reports, has a billing network and alleged money laundering. Garza has been associated with Peralta, who has probable links with organized crime, and together with his wife, Gabriela Jiménez, financed Morena politicians through civil associations and managed money to prominent PAN politicians. Jiménez is part of Sheinbaum’s war room, and some of the PAN members linked to him are inside the war room of the opposition candidate Xóchitl Gálvez.
The further the epilogue of the six-year term progresses, the more disturbing information emerges from Morena’s pipes. Ongoing investigations are deepening and detailing the links and complicities within the narcopolitical network in the country, where Morena leaders appear with alleged ramifications to the main drug cartels, and the names of associates of the leadership, the government emerge. and to the presidential campaign, as well as financial operators and their communicating vessels with the legal world and the criminal world.
The deaths of financial operators are a chapter that few want to talk about. Were they strange coincidences? Settling of scores? Is there anyone who would like to eliminate loose ends? We will hardly know the truth. The López Obrador government does not want to find it or, if it does know it, it wants to cover it up. What we will eventually know are the million-dollar resources that circulated through financial operators and how much of the total money arose from illicit activities. Perhaps then, the Omertá will be broken.
