Hugo Casssanova’s Big Connect In Jail
posted (December 20, 2013)
You may remember the name Hugo Cassanova from February of this year when the Corozal Resident was caught in Chetumal along with Orange Walk's Milin Vasquez in a major drug bust.

Well, an interesting article in the Por Esto Yucatan Newspaper says that Cassanova is under special protection in the Cereso jail in Chetumal. The article describes the cartel politics inside the prison at length and says that two men who had killed a Mexican Policeman are Casanova's special escorts. The article explains that there had to be a crackdown in the jail recently because a cartel called the Pelones was operating with impunity within the prison walls, sending text messages and orchestrating crimes from their cells.

The leader of the Pelones is Alberto Catzin, a Mexican drug boss who was caught with Milin Vasquez and Hugo Cassanova when they were busted with 100 pounds of Crystal Meth in Chetumal in February of this year.
