Protagonists in the Organized Crime

ADOLFO DE JESÚS CONSTANZO

If we want to find an explanation for the enormous violence in Mesoamerica right now, we must go back to its beginnings, when Santeria (way of the saints from Cuba) and savage violence inaugurated an era that is still present in Mexican society.

The beginnings of political corruption and organized crime marked the country's bloody history, which is still active today. They owe this in large part to Adolfo de Jesús Constanzo, the Godfather, and Daniel Arizmendi, the Mochaorejas.

Adolfo de Jesús Constanzo, el Padrino (the Godfather)

Adolfo de Jesús Constanzo was born in 1962 in Miami, the son of Cubans who had fled the Castro regime. His mother was an important Cuban priestess of Palo Mayombe, Delia González del Valle.

From birth, Adolfo was not a normal boy. His mother believed he was predestined to be a great sorcerer. She instructed him in Santeria from his infancy. As a teenager, he was a very attractive boy with a tongue that could charm anyone. His mother married three times, and evil tongues say that she always ended up with her rich husbands soon after. The reputation she had in the Cuban community was that of a terrible black widow.

Constanzo had both male and female lovers, no one could resist her. Until one day he was offered a job as a model in Mexico City. He moved to the capital and there he had her first contacts with criminal networks. His fame as a medium and powerful santero preceded him.

Major traffickers consulted his oracle to find out if their business would be successful. Constanzo performed cleansings and animal sacrifices to do his work.

But one day he realized that the real power, the one he believed he had and his mother assured him he had, came from human sacrifices, and so he entered the dark side of Palo Mayombe.

At that time Constanzo was already known as the Godfather. He had created a religion in which his followers both feared and worshipped him. Torture and cannibalism were a normal part of his work.

But every good killer, apart from being admired, must have an accomplice or partner who is willing to follow him to the end. At the end of 1986, Constanzo met Sara Aldrete, his alter ego and the person who complemented his demonic personality, and who on many occasions surpassed his sadism. Sara had been living with a drug trafficker, Gilberto Sosa, and knew very well the ins and outs of drug trafficking.

Adolfo had already made drug moves in Miami and wanted to get into the big business, ccocaine.

In the late 1980s, Pablo Escobar Gaviria was still running the business and no one could move large quantities of drugs without risking his life. In those years, the Mexicans were still the simple transporters, a situation that Constanzo, among others, was in charge of changing.

Constanzo lived in a huge house in Monterrey and was often seen entering the government palace, where he had official contacts. He even went there to do work and predictions for the police. A police that, in gratitude, turned a blind eye to his then small drug trafficking business.

Although they were increasing day by day. Sara was in charge of getting and making other traffickers fall in love with her, who most of the time ended up being subdued by Constanzo's charm and charm, who, like a snake charmer, introduced them to his religion. He promised them total immunity, they would even be invisible to enemy bullets.

Constanzo had a room where the cauldron was, his nganga, where the spirits he had to feed lived. There he made sacrifices, at first of animals, but he needed more and more.
At his mother's suggestion, he traveled to the home of a great Cuban santero called El Grande, so that he could be taught to master the darker side of the power of the Palo Mayombe. When

Constanzo returned from these teachings, he was wilder than ever. He would slit the body of his initiates, saying that these stripes were the power of the saint. They started with human sacrifices, the more he got into the drug business the more protection he needed, at least that's what he said, and with that he convinced all his followers to bring him new victims.

Through Sara he contacted little Elio in Monterrey. Elio was a family trafficker, third generation of bandits, he was very involved in arms and car trafficking and was starting a business as a drug trafficker. It didn't take Constanzo long to convince little Elio that if he wanted to regain his lost power and his new business to do well, he had to join his religion and santero cult.

It may seem incredible how Constanzo convinced people. Imagine bloody rituals in which Adolfo dismembered people in front of his followers, poured their blood into the cauldron, even took out the heart of a narco-enemy and, still beating, showed it to the dying former bearer to end up biting it, the last thing the tortured would see.

It was a mixture of fear and admiration that he wanted his demonic religion to be based on.
But as his coccaine trafficking business grew, so did the police's suspicions. A transvestite who had a relationship with Constanzo, the Claudia, a fence and drug dealer among Mexican television celebrities, argued with Constanzo. Constanzo ordered one of his men to kill her in the bathtub and throw her body in pieces. Pieces that the police soon found.

She was getting more and more involved in transporting and buying drugs directly. In Houston she had her first big failure, which cost her tens of millions of dollars, when the police got their hands on the entire shipment, despite her theoretically infallible protection.

 The Santa Elena Ranch
Near Matamoros, in Tamaulipas, little Elio had a ranch, next to the bridge that connects the city of Matamoros with the United States, a strategic place for the traffic of any merchandise. In this ranch he carried out most of his crimes. He sacrificed and tortured his enemies there, and then buried them in the surrounding land.

At the end of the eighties the Mexican cartels began to flourish, and as a sorcerer he was highly respected and became involved in the big traffic.
The Colombians were suffering atrocious persecution on their land by the U.S. military and the DEA. The Mexican criminals of those days took advantage of this, they had political and police corruption on their side, as well as witchcraft.

But everything has a limit, and Constanzo did not know it.
One day he told his followers that he needed a living American to gain power and control over the police north of the border. He believed that this would give him control over their souls, even if they didn't want it.

It was 1988, the time of year when spring breakers visit Mexico. College-educated Americans flock to Mexico in droves to enjoy the beaches and especially the lack of alcohol and drug control. It was a good time, Constanzo thought. His henchmen located Mark Kilroy, a twenty-one-year-old medical student, on the other side of the bridge. Sergio Martinez Salinas,

Constanzo's right-hand man, struck up a conversation with him and offered him a house with the best girls for him and his friends.

Mark hesitated and tried to turn away, but they forced him into the truck and with a knife in his side, they drove off. Mark knew that the locals from Matamoros were guys capable of anything and he didn't resist.

They took Mark to the Santa Elena ranch and tied him up for hours. They kept coming in and out of a cabin, there were many of them and Mark realized that he could not escape, and he was right.

He was savagely killed to feed the cauldron, the nganga, where they poured all his blood and brains. They removed his spine and his internal organs. Constanzo always wore amulets of spinal bones of his most powerful enemies, it was his protection.

But they had made a mistake with Mark. His family never stopped looking for him, and they were related to a U.S. senator. They went to President Bush to ask him to change his policy on border crimes. The U.S. administration put pressure on the Mexican authorities, who increased their roadblocks.

A month later, one of Constanzo's men, La Coque, jumped a police checkpoint and was chased to the Santa Elena ranch. There they arrested some of his henchmen and several new cars recently stolen from across the border.

But a strange smell was coming from a shed, where they found the nganga, the cauldron, with remains of human bones and an incredible smell of rot. They showed a photo to an old man who came out of a shed at the back, and who recognized it instantly: it was Mark.

In Santa Elena they found the graves of fourteen people sacrificed by the witch doctor, all dismembered and terribly mutilated, among them Gilberto Sosa, Sara's narco-lover. The police did not want to continue searching, although they were told there were more bodies. This was beyond anything horrible that could be expected of a human being.

One by one all of Constanzo's henchmen fell, even little Elio. In those arrests, the police were almost more brutal than the criminals themselves and tortured them professionally to make them talk. So it did not take them long to learn that it was the work of a Cuban sorcerer,

Adolfo de Jesús Constanzo, together with his henchman and assistant in the sacrifices, Sara Aldrete, who was more sadistic than him and who used to hang people to introduce them into cauldrons of boiling water while they were still alive.
From that moment on they were called the narco-satanic group.

Unfortunately, the police knew who Constanzo was, and that was what they feared the most. Not because of his power as a sorcerer; Constanzo was connected to high levels of the Mexican government and police. In Constanzo's house they found another altar and his diary, with the names of important politicians and world-famous singers, such as Juan Gabriel.
Constanzo and Sara had disappeared.

But Constanzo had many enemies, and even the police wanted to get him out of the way without him talking and compromising more people.

Two weeks later they received a tip from a shopkeeper that some people were extorting them with witchcraft to protect them in Mexico City. The police deployed a tremendous operation and showed up there without hiding. In the apartment were Constanzo, Sara and her last men, plus Martin Quintana, one of Constanzo's lovers.

A shootout began, the police did not want them alive. Constanzo, seeing himself lost, got into a closet with Martin and told Valdez el Dubi, one of his most loyal gunmen, to shoot.

Thus ended, sadly, the story of Adolfo Constanzo, machine-gunned in a closet with his lover.

The most bloodthirsty criminal that Mexico has ever produced, and who taught his sad successors that with violence and fear everything can be achieved. From then on, violence would be the basis of the drug trafficking business.

Sara Aldrete was sentenced, as the main architect of the crimes and tortures, to fifty years in prison. She is still serving her sentence, being, according to several accusations, raped and tortured by the police in prison.

The Santa Elena ranch was seized by the Mexican government and remains uninhabited. No one has dared to work their land, which is undoubtedly still full of corpses.
