Part 4/6:
The trucks involved in the clandestine transfer were identified as belonging to Mephra Fletes, a transportation firm based in Halisco. This company has notable connections to the CJNG (Cártel de Jalisco Nueva Generación), one of Mexico’s most prominent and powerful criminal organizations. The involvement of such entities indicates that organized crime continues to exploit the energy sector, leveraging logistics companies to facilitate illegal exports and smuggling operations.
This intersection between criminal networks and the energy infrastructure presents a complex challenge for authorities. It underscores the need for enhanced international coordination, intelligence sharing, and targeted enforcement actions to disrupt these illicit supply chains effectively.
