Tlahuica Command: the link between the photo of Cuauhtémoc Blanco and the death of Evelin Afiune

The last time she was seen alive was on Sunday 24, when she went alone to an Italian Coffee for a job interview. Two days earlier, at 6:09pm, the engineering student had written to her future interviewer the following: “I am looking for work only weekends (Saturday and Sunday)”

Once again the photograph that put the governor of Morelos, Cuauhtémoc Blanco, on the ropes, where he appears posing with three leaders of organized crime, has given what to talk about, because on this occasion one of the criminals posing next to the president could be linked to the murder of Evelin Afiune Ramírez.

On Saturday afternoon, March 26, two workers working in a cane field found the young woman's body inside black garbage bags, covered with pieces of cardboard, in a property in the town of Santa Inés, in the city of Cuautla, Morelos.

The last time she was seen alive was on Sunday 24, when she went alone to an Italian Coffee for a job interview. Two days earlier, at 6:09pm, the engineering student had written to her future interviewer the following: “I am looking for work only weekends (Saturday and Sunday)”.

Before his disappearance, he had contacted at least two people. The first appeared on her Facebook profile as “Mariana Sandoval”, and offered jobs of 700 pesos per hour, “plus bonuses of 1,000 pesos”.

Police investigations have determined that if female users were not hooked by “Mariana Sandoval”, other profiles would appear on their accounts, offering jobs of a different kind, albeit all “good paying”.

The second profile that contacted Evelin Afiune was of a Juan Pablo “P”: “Hello good morning I already sent you an inbox, you like to check your inbox or spam”. Users of the group in which Evelin was contacted say that the owner of this account “insistently invites young women seeking employment to contact him privately.”

A video obtained in the cafeteria where Evelin attended the job interview made it possible to locate her companion. According to the authorities' version, the young student was offered a job as a receptionist at a Barber Shop, located on the Santa Inés street.

Thanks to the security cameras of some neighbors, it was possible to determine that Evelin arrived at the barbershop on the 24th. Hours later Juan Carlos “N” was seen leaving, who went around looking for cardboard boxes. That morning a camera caught him carrying the remains in a “little devil”, heading to the apantle where they were found.

When the case was mediated, Juan Carlos “N” fled to Puebla, where his mother lives. It is known that from there he moved to Veracruz. The trafficking network that Evelin's death revealed, and which operates mainly in eastern Morelos, may be part of the criminal group known as the Tlahuica Command, headed by Humberto Figueroa Meza.

It should be added that the entity where Evelin was murdered has already been under the Gender Violence Alert in Morelos for seven years, an emergency mechanism that sought to prevent femicide violence, the entity ranked first national in femicide folders in August 2021.

On August 10, 2015, the National Commission to Prevent and Eliminate Violence against Women (Conavim) issued the Gender-based Violence Alert Decree (AVG) for 8 municipalities in Morelos, one of which is the place where Evelin was found: Cuautla. Other: Cuernavaca, Emiliano Zapata, Jiutepec, Puente de Ixtla, Temixco, Xochitepec and Yautepec.

The request was submitted by the Independent Human Rights Commission of Morelos AC since 2014 for the entire State of Morelos, through a document that analyzed 13 years of female violence since 2000, leading to a count of 530 femicides so far.
