How Cancun's Taxi Union Became a Hub for Organized Crime
Police raid at Cancún's "Andrés Quintana Roo" Taxi Union reveals extensive criminal network involving union leaders and organized crime. Operation uncovers surveillance systems, stolen vehicles, and documents linking leadership to murders and illegal activities.
In a sweeping, high-stakes police raid, authorities in Quintana Roo have uncovered a labyrinthine web of corruption and criminal affiliations within the “Andrés Quintana Roo” Taxi Drivers Union, a powerful and influential organization in this world-renowned tourist destination. The operation, carried out on November 4 under the cover of darkness, has raised grave concerns about the union’s grip on Cancún’s taxi sector and its alleged ties to organized crime.
The intervention was a direct response to growing evidence that members of the union have been involved in a litany of serious offenses. These alleged crimes range from orchestrated homicides to vehicle theft, and even extend to relationships with some of the region’s most dangerous criminal factions. The events of that evening have left Cancún reeling, as the idyllic tourist haven grapples with a reality marked by entrenched corruption in one of its key service industries.
