In this clip, Hector Berrellez sheds light on the horrific violence and corruption employed by Mexican drug cartels and the apparent impunity granted by the Mexican government. Hector shares chilling accounts of cartels torturing, decapitating, and murdering their enemies or their families, to intimidate and assert dominance. He also suggests that Mexican holiday resorts, perceived as safe spots by tourists, are allegedly owned by the cartels, indicating a symbiotic relationship between the tourism sector and organized crime. In Hector’s view, the ongoing problem is deeply intertwined with governmental corruption, and the only way to tackle it would be through addressing corruption first. However, he admits he doesn’t see it happening soon, painting a rather grim picture of the situation’s potential resolution.
