In the aftermath of the kidnapping of four U.S. citizens in Matamoros, the city has fallen under a cloud of suspicion — especially after some in municipal leadership were revealed to have ties to the Gulf Cartel.
This week, Jorge Alberto Aguirre Llanas, a councilman in Matamoros, publicly claimed to not have any ties to the Gulf Cartel. He also did not wish to have any entanglements with U.S. authorities. In interviews, he explained that he crossed into Brownsville to get letter from the Cameron County Clerks’ Office showing he had no felony convictions or indictments in the Texas county.
One of the heads of the Matamoros Civil Protection Department, Pedro “El Polaris” Hernandez Quiroga lost his post following moonlighting as the leader of a team of gunmen for the Gulf Cartel. This week, the City of Matamoros was forced to announce that El Polaris and two others from his department were fired and are under investigation as to why the Gulf Cartel was able to use city ambulances for the kidnapping.
