Hector Berrellez: Cartels Own Tourist Resorts, 37,000 People Disappeared Last Year (Part 13) 

Having gotten an undergraduate degree in Criminal Justice and having lived in a US border town, these are the things you learn about. These things have been going on for years. The cartel do not allow for violence in these resort cities because it is bad for business. They even own clubs and bars on the Mexican border. It doesn't end there. They own restaurants and small businesses, they have politicians and police in their pockets in US border towns. They also own alot of real estate in the US. Almost anywhere in the US where Mexican communities exist, they have investments and ties to the community. There's a whole underworld going on behind the scenes that the majority of the population isn't even aware of. Drugs coming in to the US and money going South. We walk past people everyday, drive next to cars on the street, and are neighbors with people we would never suspect who are a part of this underworld. There are sweet old ladies with kilos in their houses, cars with compartments driving by us and drop offs taking place in garages and restaurants. It would blow your mind if you knew.

These are the types of guests I want to see more on here - who really know the underworld and are ready to fight against it. Ex mob bosses and gangsters are interesting to hear, but this is really the type of guys that should get more publicity instead of them

So basically, the Cartels own Mexico. Never go to a country where Cartels run everything. I don't care how luxurious the resort is, I'm not fuckin' with Mexico.

Pure evil. This is what happens when good men no longer oppose evil with force.

This is one of the most terrifying interviews i've ever heard.

Watch the full interview now as a VladTV RU-vid Member - ru-vid.comjoin

"I would not recommend anyone to go to Mexico" is a wild statement

He look like the Mexican Sylvester Stallone 😂

God bless Hector Berrellez. I would love to just hang around this guy and listen. What a wealth of information. He belongs in the next administration as a strategic advisor.

We need stuff like this to get the same kind of publicity as Keefe D did, smh

They did arrest people who killed those Black tourists. The Cartel themselves turned in the members who did it and apologized for what they did. They wanted no parts of the US government being given a reason to be able to go there. A smart move.

This interview its amazing when are you gonna upload the full interview?? I already watch the first one and its a piece of work

I have homes in the U.S and in Tijuana. He is not lying. I know women who been kidnapped and people who been murdered by cartels. Prople like him are Heros and thank you for bringing awareness to those who do not know

Man the interviewer is doing a helluva job, kudos

I’ve been saying this since 2006. Everybody that got rich in the 80s and 90s off crack and heroin all invested their money in the major resorts throughout Mexico. That’s why when the resorts were off the hook and tourists stopped vacationing for a while all of a sudden everything miraculously calmed down. All the adults looked at me like I didn’t know what I was talking about because I was like 12 and they couldn’t wrap their mind around what I mentioned. People are delusional if they really think the Mexican government did anything to encourage the tourism to come back 😂

This is what sacrificing your life for the world look like ✊🏾

When I went to Playa Del Carmen, the resort “staff” encouraged us to stay at the resort, resort recommended excursions or the tourist shopping district. I remember them saying DO Not go exploring Mexico on your own. I see why now, geesh.

My understanding about why the Cartels own hotels, it allows them to launder money. Basically what happens, they rent out 100 rooms, then show an additional 100 rooms as 'ghost' guests who pay 'cash'. This allows them to put their money into banks without questions as to where they got it.

I thought this was the guy from dust till dawn smh😂😂

This Man needs to be protected at all cost!

Extremely interesting and informative. Thank You.

Lord, God protect this man!!! Thank you for sharing!!!

Great Man 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 & we appreciate your honesty!!! Need more like you to get rid of the foul corruption like the stories you have told.

That happened in Iguala in the state of Guerrero, those 42 students had commandeered a couple of buses as was their annual tradition to protest against something I don’t recall, unknowingly a local cartel had put drugs to be smuggled on those buses just prior and when the students accidentally drove off with the drugs in those buses the local cartel had the local police chase them down shooting at them until they stopped the buses and rounded up and shot and killed all the students at the cartel’s direction as proved by the texting between them when eventually it all came out the local cartel lord and police chief were briefly arrested and let go !😮

I lived there and he’s not lying but when you’re there it’s much more scary than you can describe

I hope nothing ever happens to hector his speaking facts !

44 years old life long San Diego resident. I stopped going to Mexico long ago. Back in the day I felt completely safe but at some point that changed

This guy would be willing to die to protect thr weak. Obviously a man of faith

I just left cancun like 3 months ago.....the cartel has done awesome with that town...waters/beaches beautiful, weed is pure, food is delicious

Bruh will hear my guy clearly explain something and then ask the same question differently again and somehow, it works. Great interview.

Vlad loading up old Katt Williams flash backs

These are the guys the CIA is in business with.

Violence is a language that everyone can understand.

I never thought about who might own the resorts.

This guy is such a good interviewer, great questions

Great interview

@7:26 from what I remembered, they presumed the cartel thought those other people were Haitians were connected to a drug group. But I also kind of remembered an article that stated once they realize it was mistaken identity, they released them, and a few of the lower level gunmen were given up and arrested. Obviously they were given up by the main cartels who wanted to bury the story

I remember the story about the 42 kids.. my mom said her friend who was a mother of the college student. They were picked up because of sum protest & they were all burned near a river & no evidence was ever recovered.

Best interview

Explains why you see these Mexican restaurants in the US with no customers but be in business for years

I wish I could hang out with and learn more from Hector...this guys has so many answers to my questions..

This guys a hero. Godspeed Hector Berrellez. Peace.

Yup, I remember the 42 university students missing. I'll nvr forget and often wonder if there are any updates. I empathize with their family and friends.

SMH wow great interview

Remember that, they murdered their own for mistaking tourist and killing them. Then posted sorry letter with the bodies.

"The mutilations the beheadings thats just business gotta keep up appearances" The counselor

Wow I was looking at going to Baja thanks for this

That’s insane

Looks like the best way to visit Mexico is by watching Mexico Life 😳😳. God bless Hector always bringing the heat 👍

Imagine if we had people like him at the top. Earth would be cleansed

Hector be waiting for Shawn to spit it out (pause) just like us 😂

I could listen to he's storys everyday I swear such a clever guy 👌

sean keep saying he's surprised. Man gotta wake up lol

Like he said, the cartels are already living here😮.

My cab driver in puerto vallarta 15 years ago was telling me about this. This is nothing new.

My brother got married in Mexico bout 10 yrs ago. A year later the same hotel we stayed at got taken over by cartel! They came on the resort when tourist were there and kicked everyone out!

Facts!! My family lives in Sinaloa. We went out and uncle told us to get back before sundown. Well we didn’t get back in time. We got pulled over by a check point. Dude dressed street clothes and in ski mask and ak47s. Luckily they let us go! It’s wild out there.

I was just in Tijuana over the weekend. Everybody was out and partying. People were in the streets until 5 AM.

love these guy!!

How is this guy not on rogan yet🤔 💯😵‍💫😵‍💫 he has exposed as much as that Epstein list 💯💯🤣

You can tell who work for cartels in the night clubs in Cancun

The Cartel have one fear, American Prisons.

Correct, i was in mexico ar a resort near tulum and i left my belongings in my room along with my walle which had arohnd 350usd in it, but i took my card with me, when i got back my wallet was gone and a necklace. I conplained to the front desk and sorted things out with my travel buddies, the very next morning after j went for a swim, my wallet and necklace were sitting on the bedside table with all the money in the wallet. I dont even want to imagine how they found it. But the front desk manager seemed happy that i got it back. 🧐

Good thing drugs are kept incredibly profitable by making them hard to get. Kind of how DeBeers did with diamonds. Just limit the supply, pump up the demand, and the market will figure out the rest. Except diamonds aren't consumable, and drugs are - so the drugs market is infinitely more profitable.

Love it , I made decision last yr to stay away from any Mexico vacation or touring

Man hector probably got endless crazy stories

Imagine a Karen having a complaint at the resort and demands to speak to the owner and the cartel shows up

My son went to Cancun last month and he had a great time. I was so scared! I just prayed he’d be okay!

Thank you cartels for keeping me safe while in Mexico on the resort

❤interview

I was told by a taxi driver that Escobar had a house in Tulum and he was responsible for bringing electricity to all the resorts there. You can still see the power lines…idk

Exactly why I don't go to those resorts. Those losers aren't getting any of my money.

Salute to Shawn getting a lot better with the interviews !

The problem is that people (tourists) don't think such will ever happen to them - until it does.

Just left cozumel and progresso last week and you can feel it when your there.

A guy like that should be the president. Very impressed.

I recommend a channel called Unidad de Inteligencia Ciudadana. It’s this ex military guy that has a lot of contacts with the cartel and exposes that shit they do

First time I went to Mexico, I went to Mazatlan. Loved it there.

A real G talking .

Im glad mexico is a functioning democracy

More than HALF A MILLION PPL disappeared from the U.S last year...what happened to THOSE ppl, while yall askin bout another country..?

Wow. This is deep

US outrage needs to be directed at Mexican government and elites!!

Shawn Prez asks great questions but I hope this guy Hector is warning him about these interviews and the content behind them. The reach the cartel has is far enough to get real close to Shawn. Ask Hector what the cartel does to Mexican journalists, I’m sure they wouldn’t hesitate to do the same or similar to an American journalist.

This the guy from dusk till dawn lol

When i went in early 2000 to a town close to border and seen z71 trucks riding around streets with 50 cals mounted on bed i knew i needed to get back across border and before dark. I havent been back since. It didnt look like police or military.

Too much power and corruption $$

I bought weed from the Cartel behind a watch shop in Quantana Roo. 2 days later they went into my hotel room in Playa Del Carmer while I was at the pool, took my cash and wifes jewelery, took money from our locked safe too and then asked us to come up from the pool. We walked up with smiley hotel staff and walked into a room of police. They tried to bribe us, but I was attending the resort with about 125 friends of mine for a wedding. We all walked into the room and stood outside of it. They left. When some of my friends went back to their rooms , they were robbed too. Fuck that place. Community is nice but its too corrupt. This was 2018. Did take a tour of the Mayan ruins which was fantastic but had to have a tour guide who was familiar with cartel and police. They both will rob you, especially the police. Our uber driver picked up somebody at a mall down the street and didn't let them know about it and they set his car on fire the next day. I spent 14 days there, will never go back. and yeah, its pretty much tacos everywhere you go

Just telling my story, I just came back from Cancun 2 days ago, I rented a car and had a great time. The only thing, I was pulled over and the police told me he was going to give me a ticket or give him $20, so hell i gave him $20, went on my way.I just didn't want to sit at the resort my entire trip, so I ventured out, everyday. But I had a great time, went to their malls, shopped with the family, drove to 2 hours to chichen itza. I said I had a great time twice, but small minds will focus on the $20. I didn't like it, but it didn't spoil my trip. Hell police here just beat a man to death last year, they just took $20

The insane question is why would you still go there,simple.

This is why I don't vacation in Mexico, and why aren't these cartels labeled as terrorist organizations?

this whole time i thought this guy was the guy in dusk til dawn lol

The cartel operates here in US as well with no problem

If he goes back you won’t ever hear from him again. Those people are ruthless

Is Playa Del Carmen and Cancun just as dangerous? I’ve had so much fun visiting those places.

I've been all over Mexico. Never had an issue, I've been in Guadalajara since Dec 27, spent new years in Zacatecas. no problems, me and my family are safely traveling

Remember all of those tourist dying from alcohol poisoning in those mexican resorts and Americans were still going!

How has it come to that?

That’s why il stick to palm beach for my palm tree fix 😂

Shawn Prez you gotta travel more brother. Mexico, DR, Jamaica, Bahamas , Thailand, Africa, Pakistan.. Bro the list goes on and on. Their cops are corrupt, the gov’t is corrupt… Traveling is important my ppl, you need to be cultured 💯
