The Underworld Podcast · El Mayo Behind Bars: Cartel War, Conspiracy and Narcopolitics · 4 Aug 2026 podcast

We actually called them at Insight Crime the invisibles, precisely to avoid this increased law enforcement pressure and pressure from rival groups.

So we've documented in Colombia now how many of the actors that are key to the drug trade today maintain a completely legal facade, are not necessarily linked to an armed organization, operate more like brokers,

more on the business front rather than the territorial criminal wars, which also gives them a degree of protection.

So it could be interesting to see if we see that also evolve in Mexico under these circumstances, which actually will be really interesting, especially I think as we've got in with a bunch of recent shows, the Brazilians especially are moving in like massively on cocaine among Latin America.

all of which leaves us just a couple of little loose ends to tie up.

One of them is the identity of Hando, the pilot who, according to Joaquin Guzman, was the only guy besides him and Mayo on that plane bound for New Mexico.

As is often the case, Owen Grillo has done some cracking work on this at his site Crash Art Media, which reports that the 32-year-old, who is named in official documents both as Mauro Alberto Nunez Ojeda

And Alejandro Ojeda Avila had confessed all the way back in April this year to have worked with the Sinaloa cartel for over a decade, flying planes loaded with cocaine and guns.

Hando also claims he ran communication for the Chapos.

I mean, I don't think that means PR.

I think that means, like...

I don't know, signals to other guys.

That is until February 2025 when Mexican soldiers arrest him after a shootout and that August, so last August, hand him over to the US as part of a huge transfer of prisoners.

Do you think they're hiring for a PR position?

There's equity?

Come on.

Is there equity?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay.

I don't want like some, I don't want the kind of like TV guy thing where you get a percentage on a future payout.
