The plot that connects eight uniformed men with the underworld
This is not a series script, it is the harsh reality in Colima. Eight elements of the Manzanillo municipal police were linked to proceedings for alleged links with a criminal organization. The joke? They gave them privileged information about operations, movements of federal forces and even details of the state prison system.
The State Prosecutor’s Office presented compelling evidence: between December 2 and 19, police officers—among them a woman—reported in real time the presence or absence of armed corporations. All so that the thugs knew when and where to hit.
“They shared information about public security activities and criminal acts to benefit a criminal group,” detailed the Public Ministry.
They used it to communicate with criminals: Threema, a payment platform famous for its privacy protection. No WhatsApp or Telegram; here they were fine.
The judge did not mince words: he gave them justified preventive detention and two months to close the complementary investigation.
How did they get to them?
It all started with the murder of José Alfredo Chávez González, former secretary of the Villa de Álvarez City Council, executed on February 9 while he was exercising in a park. The Prosecutor’s Office had already sentenced the material murderer, Juan Olaf “N”, to 23 years and 4 months, but during the investigations – in coordination with Semar and Sedena – they carried out searches that uncovered this sewer.
In these operations they seized cell phones that, after forensic analysis, revealed the internal networks: active police transmitting live data on patrols, federal checkpoints and official movements. It didn’t take long for the arrest warrants to fall.
