**Controversy Surrounds Drug Enforcement Official Over Allegations of Information Leaks**
In a tense meeting with specialized agents, the prosecutor specializing in drug enforcement, Juan Carlos Pelayo, delivered a fiery warning following allegations of information leaks within the team. Known for his controversial background, Pelayo’s name has previously been associated with illicit activities, including threats and derogatory mentions in narcomessages.
Recent reports have surfaced accusing Pelayo of demanding monthly payments from drug enforcement agents, risking imprisonment if they refuse to comply. Upon hearing of these accusations spread via social media, Pelayo convened a meeting on February 18 with several agents, during which he vehemently chastised them for the leak of confidential information. In a recorded statement, Pelayo threatened repercussions and reassignment for those responsible.
Pelayo’s history of alleged misconduct includes a notable incident from March 8, 2024, when a narcomessage in Tijuana implicated him in supporting criminal elements. Further investigative reports claimed he acquired a substantial property, raising additional suspicions about his sources of income.
Witnesses of the recent confrontation reported that Pelayo, visibly angered by the accusations, addressed the agents in no uncertain terms, emphasizing the need for discretion and responsibility. “What we discuss here stays here,” Pelayo declared, threatening consequences for any breach of this directive.
