EXCLUSIVE: Horrific 'Torture Chamber' Discovered in Cancun Taxi Union Headquarters as Leaders Arrested for Murder

In a truly terrifying revelation, the Quintana Roo Attorney General's Office (FGE) uncovered a chilling and sinister torture room within the heart of the Cancun Taxi Drivers Union, shedding light on a nightmare that had remained hidden in plain sight. The harrowing discovery was made during a major search operation, which has rocked this popular tourist destination to its core.

Authorities were acting on alarming suspicions that the Andrés Quintana Roo Taxi Drivers Union was far more than a transportation network, instead harboring a network of brutal crimes and unimaginable violence. The operation culminated in the arrest of two high-profile union leaders, Salomón “N,” also known as “Mafer,” the interim general secretary, and Óscar Antonio “N,” a senior board member. Both men are accused of orchestrating at least three homicides, marking them as key figures in an investigation that is exposing the dark underbelly of Cancun’s taxi operations.

Witnesses have described a grim reality: a specially designed office transformed into a veritable chamber of horrors, where violent acts of torture were allegedly carried out against unfortunate victims. Sources close to the investigation indicate that several union workers, under duress and fear for their own safety, confessed to having witnessed these barbaric scenes. The disturbing discovery is expected to play a crucial role in the ongoing investigations into the deaths of two taxi drivers and a union collaborator, all of whom bore the signs of extreme and brutal violence.

Law enforcement authorities have taken drastic measures to secure the taxi union’s facilities, locking down the area with a heavy presence from the Navy, the National Guard, and state police. This intense security operation, which lasted more than three hours, restricted movement in and around the union's headquarters in Supermanzana 92. Streets were blocked, and residents were left shocked as the dramatic scene unfolded.

The Murky Connections of a Taxi Union

So far, the FGE has remained tight-lipped, withholding an official report on the full extent of what was discovered during the search. Rumors are swirling about potential arrests beyond those of Salomón “Mafer” and Óscar Antonio “N.” There is speculation about the seizure of firearms, illicit funds, or damning documents linking the union to a web of criminal activities. However, one fact stands clear: the operation is closely connected to the murder of union member José Luis Corral, whose fate became a gruesome tale of abduction and murder.

Corral, who worked as a graphic designer and political adviser to Ruben Carrillo Buenfil, a deputy in the Congress of Quintana Roo and a former secretary of the taxi drivers union, was reported missing on October 25. The tragic sequence began when two men, emerging from separate vehicles, forced Corral into one of the cars, depriving him of his freedom. Five days later, his lifeless body was found in a secluded green area along the Cancun-Merida Federal Highway, bearing unmistakable signs of brutal violence.

The arrest of Salomón “N,” alias “Mafer,” is a watershed moment in this complex investigation. He is being closely scrutinized for his possible role in Corral’s murder and potentially other violent crimes tied to the union. Authorities believe that the union’s leadership may have been complicit in a series of heinous acts, from drug trafficking to violent reprisals against those who dared to cross them.

The search and subsequent arrests have led to explosive claims about a well-organized criminal cell operating under the protection of the taxi union. Unofficial sources suggest that this cell may have engaged in a variety of illegal activities, with Salomón Alfonso, the interim leader, acting as a key figure in the operation. The possibility of a clandestine grave on the union’s premises has only fueled these chilling rumors.

Authorities are currently investigating whether human remains might be buried on the site, and as each day passes, the tension grows. The FGE’s search teams, alongside forensic specialists, are meticulously combing the area for any trace of hidden atrocities. For nearby residents, this development is nothing short of a nightmare, bringing a sense of horror to a neighborhood once known for its vibrant taxi community.

Taxi Drivers Speak Out Amid Fears

While the investigations continue, a number of taxi operators and owners have expressed a sense of relief mixed with trepidation. "We’re thankful for this operation because it was already unsustainable to work like this," some drivers confessed, describing the daily fear and extortion they faced. The atmosphere of intimidation was pervasive, with many feeling powerless against the union’s violent enforcers.

One driver, who spoke under the condition of anonymity, described how “they had to pay a fee daily,” a form of protection money that many begrudgingly handed over to avoid violence. Now, with the authorities taking a hard stance against this apparent network of crime and corruption, some in the taxi community are cautiously optimistic. "The cleanup has begun, and it will go as far as it has to go," another operator said. "What was happening was an open secret, and until now, no one had dared to act."

The unfolding saga has prompted a wider crackdown across the region, as investigators are also turning their gaze toward other taxi unions in Quintana Roo. The government’s commitment to confronting violence and impunity head-on suggests that this might only be the beginning of a larger effort to dismantle crime networks embedded in the region's infrastructure.

As the investigation deepens, the people of Cancun and beyond watch with bated breath. What else might authorities uncover in the search for truth and justice? Will more high-profile figures be implicated in this network of violence and corruption? The answers remain uncertain, but for now, the grisly discovery at the Andrés Quintana Roo Taxi Drivers Union is a haunting reminder of the dark forces that have lurked beneath the city’s sunny surface.

In a place where tourists flock for its beaches and nightlife, the revelations from this shocking operation serve as a wake-up call, illustrating that even paradise has its shadows. As Cancun struggles to reconcile its glittering image with the dark reality now exposed, all eyes remain on the authorities—and the hope that this brutal chapter in the city’s history will soon be brought to a close.
