Cae operador del cártel La Nueva Familia Michoacana en Atlanta: Ocultaba fentanilo en baterías de auto
ATLANTA.- Un importante golpe a la estructura operativa del narcotráfico en Georgia se consolidó hoy con la comparecencia federal de Kevin Martinez. El joven de 20 años es acusado de inundar el área metropolitana de Atlanta con masivas cantidades de fentanilo, presuntamente bajo las órdenes del cartel La Nueva Familia Michoacana, una organización recientemente vinculada a actividades terroristas por las autoridades estadounidenses.
El distintivo del “Pacman”: Una marca de distribución letal
La investigación liderada por la DEA reveló un detalle inusual en el cargamento: el fentanilo estaba sellado con un símbolo de “Pacman” devorando un logo de “LV”. Esta marca distintiva fue clave para que los agentes rastrearan la distribución en diversos condados:
- Fulton y Henry County: Incautación de 6 libras de fentanilo marcado durante paradas de tráfico en febrero.
- Identificación visual: El uso de sellos permite a los carteles identificar su mercancía en el mercado negro, facilitando el rastreo de las autoridades.
El operativo en Doraville: Baterías de auto y armas de fuego
El pasado 6 de marzo de 2026, agentes federales ejecutaron una orden de registro en el apartamento de Martinez en Doraville, Georgia. El hallazgo fue masivo y sofisticado:
- 44 libras de fentanilo: La droga estaba oculta dentro de baterías de automóviles, un método de camuflaje diseñado para evadir inspecciones convencionales.
- Arsenal y Logística: Se aseguraron seis armas de fuego y una máquina contadora de dinero, elementos típicos de una operación de distribución de alto nivel.
Un esfuerzo conjunto de seguridad
El Fiscal Federal Theodore S. Hertzberg calificó a Martinez como un operador de un “cartel terrorista”, destacando la peligrosidad extrema de la droga incautada. En este operativo colaboraron diversas agencias locales, incluyendo las oficinas de los Sheriffs de Newton y Coweta, así como los departamentos de policía de Fulton y Henry.
Martinez, quien reside en Doraville, enfrenta cargos federales por posesión con intención de distribuir fentanilo. Actualmente se presume inocente hasta que se demuestre lo contrario en juicio.
