The Deep Dive. El Mexicano. What your news reporter didn't mention. Saturday, September 26, 2026. Medellín, Colombia. Police went into a home and came out with a man, computers, phones, and hard drives, the press reports. Medellín Mayor Federico Gutiérrez named him Fredy Chacón, alias El Mexicano. The mayor said he is wanted by authorities in the United States and called him the alleged link man in Colombia for the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). The mayor said he was placed at the disposal of Migración Colombia. That is the immigration service. Not a court. General Henry Bello of the Aburrá Valley metropolitan police, quoted by Caracol Radio, said Fredy Chacón del Real has a US record for aggravated assault with weapons and kidnapping, and has been recognized as a member of the Mexican Mafia since 2015. He cited international agencies and "Marshall." Reading that as the US Marshals Service is an inference. A prior record is not a warrant. Unconfirmed. Then the second wave. Payments of 10,000 to 15,000 dollars to La Terraza and the Clan del Golfo, per witnesses cited by General Bello. Retired police as escorts, plus armored cars, per the press. Front companies and laundering networks in Tijuana and Medellín, per El Tiempo and other outlets citing US agencies. All unconfirmed. No official statement in our file says money laundering. No company or bank has been named by any official. What is missing. No charge in Colombia. No charge in Mexico in anything we have. No US charges known. No agency, district, or case number from the mayor. No expulsion order, destination, or date published. No release from the national police, the Fiscalía, or Migración Colombia. Expulsion is not extradition. Full transcript and How We Verify: https://tateinvestigations.com/verify
