A Hard Worker

Published May 23, 2010

Curi Caberi Tapia-Martinez is a good-natured young man in his mid-20s, who grew up in Mexico. Childhood friends describe him as an amiable, happy and friendly guy. He is from a large noisy family, and has many brothers and sisters. He is a loving, respectful son who always tries to help his large struggling family. A few years back, Curi went to the United States. His family knows he works very hard, so he can support them financially. He’s returned to Mexico twice since then.

When he comes home, it is a cause for a big celebration. Curi never returns empty-handed, and every one of his little siblings receives a gift from America. But he never stays long, and always has to go back soon after. This saddens his family, but they appreciate his sacrifices and the hard work he does for them. Curi is very responsible.

Little do they know that in the United States Curi Caberi Tapia-Martinez, also known as “Tahoe,” “Primo” or “Papo”, is accused of running a massive drug operation, transporting methamphetamine from his base in California to the rural areas in North Dakota and Minnesota.

In spite of all the government and police efforts, North Dakota is in the midst of a crystal meth crisis, and Tapia-Martinez and his cartel are to blame. The Mexican drug dealers mass-produce high-quality, lower priced meth in “superlabs” south of the border, transporting it into the U.S. through secret tunnels. Police estimate that Tapia-Martinez grosses at least $1 million in six months from his deadly trade, while violence, robberies and other drug-related crimes continue to escalate.

Tapia-Martinez had been deported from the United States at least twice. But he never remains in Mexico long enough, resurfacing again, as if mocking the U.S. government. He had also been arrested several times on various charges, but he used an alias, and posted bail before the arresting officers figured out his true identity. At this time, members of the DEA task force believe they’ve figured out the dealer’s routine, and are following his trail. Tapia-Martinez will soon be serving a life term in a federal prison.
