"Big Mama" & Crew Arrested in Mexican Truck Theft Operation
Mexican "Big Mama," alleged cartel-linked truck thief, busted with 4 others after offering bribe to cops. Accused of running major auto theft ring and paying CJNG for protection. Ex-cop among those arrested.
Move over, El Chapo, there's a new, albeit slightly less intimidating, name in the Mexican underworld: "Big Mama." Fernando "N," alias "Big Mama," a 36-year-old accused cartel kingpin, was busted in a coordinated raid on Tuesday, along with four alleged cronies, after cops caught them red-handed unloading stolen goods from a truck-trailer.
This ain't no petty theft. "Big Mama" is accused of running the most notorious federal auto transport theft ring in the state, greasing the palms of corrupt officials with bribes topping half a million pesos (around $30,000 USD) to keep the heat off, according to sources close to the investigation.
