The fall of Ulises Pinto Madera, known as “El Pinto” or “El Mamado,” not only represents the arrest of an individual, but also reveals the complex web of power, betrayals, and alliances that have shaped the criminal landscape in Tabasco in recent years.
“El Pinto” amassed a considerable fortune, with properties in residential areas of Zapopan and Guadalajara, in the state of Jalisco, and a collection of luxury vehicles, all the product of illicit activities such as migrant smuggling, human trafficking, and control of bars and clubs.
This wealth, according to official information, was built in the shadow of a criminal structure that knew how to adapt and fragment to survive.
The Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC) confirmed the arrest of Ulises Pinto Madera by its members and the Secretariat of the Navy.
The arrest is based on an outstanding warrant for Aggravated Criminal Association and puts an end, at least temporarily, to the career of one of the main perpetrators of violence in Tabasco.
