    --------
    In this clip, Hector Berrellez sheds light on the horrific violence and corruption employed by Mexican drug cartels and the apparent impunity granted by the Mexican government. Hector shares chilling accounts of cartels torturing, decapitating, and murdering their enemies or their families, to intimidate and assert dominance. He also suggests that Mexican holiday resorts, perceived as safe spots by tourists, are allegedly owned by the cartels, indicating a symbiotic relationship between the tourism sector and organized crime. In Hector's view, the ongoing problem is deeply intertwined with governmental corruption, and the only way to tackle it would be through addressing corruption first. However, he admits he doesn't see it happening soon, painting a rather grim picture of the situation's potential resolution.

    Having gotten an undergraduate degree in Criminal Justice and having lived in a US border town, these are the things you learn about. These things have been going on for years. The cartel do not allow for violence in these resort cities because it is bad for business. They even own clubs and bars on the Mexican border. It doesn't end there. They own restaurants and small businesses, they have politicians and police in their pockets in US border towns. They also own alot of real estate in the US. Almost anywhere in the US where Mexican communities exist, they have investments and ties to the community. There's a whole underworld going on behind the scenes that the majority of the population isn't even aware of. Drugs coming in to the US and money going South. We walk past people everyday, drive next to cars on the street, and are neighbors with people we would never suspect who are a part of this underworld. There are sweet old ladies with kilos in their houses, cars with compartments driving by us and drop offs taking place in garages and restaurants. It would blow your mind if you knew.

      US Government isn't coming down there no matter what.
      The US Government is the same government who caught a big drug dealer in the States who ended up being the Secretary of Defense of Mexico. They let him go for nothing because Mexico put pressure on the US and threatened to have every DEA agent removed from the country.
      The US gave him back and asked Mexico to investigate him.
      Mexico did and cleared him of all charges.
      The US didn't like that and asked Mexico to prosecute him or send him back up for an indictment.
      Mexico said no and that was the end of that.

    My understanding about why the Cartels own hotels, it allows them to launder money. Basically what happens, they rent out 100 rooms, then show an additional 100 rooms as 'ghost' guests who pay 'cash'. This allows them to put their money into banks without questions as to where they got it.

    I’ve been saying this since 2006. Everybody that got rich in the 80s and 90s off crack and heroin all invested their money in the major resorts throughout Mexico. That’s why when the resorts were off the hook and tourists stopped vacationing for a while all of a sudden everything miraculously calmed down. All the adults looked at me like I didn’t know what I was talking about because I was like 12 and they couldn’t wrap their mind around what I mentioned.

    I bought weed from the Cartel behind a watch shop in Quantana Roo. 2 days later they went into my hotel room in Playa Del Carmer while I was at the pool, took my cash and wifes jewelery, took money from our locked safe too and then asked us to come up from the pool. We walked up with smiley hotel staff and walked into a room of police. They tried to bribe us, but I was attending the resort with about 125 friends of mine for a wedding. We all walked into the room and stood outside of it. They left. When some of my friends went back to their rooms , they were robbed too. Fuck that place. Community is nice but its too corrupt. This was 2018. Did take a tour of the Mayan ruins which was fantastic but had to have a tour guide who was familiar with cartel and police. They both will rob you, especially the police. Our uber driver picked up somebody at a mall down the street and didn't let them know about it and they set his car on fire the next day. I spent 14 days there, will never go back. and yeah, its pretty much tacos everywhere you go

Next door to the riu emerald bay was the biggest most beautiful estate mansion and one of the guys hustlin on the beach told me not to get too close to the fence because “the guy has armed guards” and sure enough when we walked by later that week there was a guy up in a treehouse looking guard tower with a machine gun

    Not just in Mexico either my fathers side of the family is from Jamaica. Last time I went to Jamaica one of the cab drivers told me that I should buy some property out here. He mentioned the Cartels owns many of the resorts that are in Jamaica. My guess they have to have something to wash the money.
