The case of Beto and his allegations of child trafficking in Mexican politics and show business
The podcast Penitencia, hosted by activist Saskia Niño de Rivera, is a space dedicated primarily to giving a voice to people deprived of their liberty in Mexican prisons. Its focus is to present first-hand accounts from inmates (both men and women) convicted or accused of various crimes, allowing them to tell their stories in their own words.
In the February 2026 broadcast, Saskia interviewed Alberto, alias "El Beto," an inmate serving a 72-year sentence for kidnapping and murder. Everything seemed normal in Beto's story, the tragic story and the losses, until he began to talk about child trafficking among the Mexican elite.
Beto was abandoned 15 days after he was born and left at a children's shelter. At the age of 5, he was adopted by a couple. There, he was raped by the father and lived in conditions of constant violence and degradation. At the age of 6, he decided to run away from his adoptive home and took refuge on the streets, among drunks, homeless people, and other children.
At the age of 9, he was kidnapped along with other children by a criminal organization. He was subjected to extreme and brutal physical training. For over a year, he witnessed and suffered atrocities: executions of children who could not withstand the training (including his 9-year-old girlfriend), torture, and preparation for killing. He claimed that they turned him into an instrument for crime. This method of recruitment is also used by the Cartels
Extermination camp found in Jalisco Mexico
The Izaguirre Ranch: CJNG (Jalisco New Generation Cartel) Recruitment and Extermination Center.
The Izaguirre ranch, located in Teuchitlán, was identified as a clandestine training and extermination camp operated by the CJNG. Crematorium ovens, drugs and belongings of alleged victims were found there. Testimonies from survivors indicated that the site operated with a system of forced recruitment. Young men were lured with false job offers, taken to the ranch blindfolded and subjected to physical training.
At the age of 10, he murdered his adoptive father, who worked as a police officer. It is assumed that he passed the test and was offered to high-ranking mexican politicians so that they could use him as they wished. Beto said that politicians employed these children, among other things, to get rid of people who were undesirable to the system. In his youth, Beto began murdering people and kidnapping children (babies and children living on the streets or without a visible family) on orders. He received high payments of up to 200,000 pesos (approximately $11,250) for these acts.
Beto mentions that kidnapped babies and children were handed over to influential people in politics, government, and entertainment for alleged occult or satanic rituals. He mentioned actress Carmen Salinas (1939-2021) as one of his main clients, saying: "Carmelita Salinas said she was Catholic, right? And she would buy children and go and make her sacrifices." Carmen Salinas allegedly bought minors for these purposes, contrasting with her public image.
For one reason or another, Saskia did not edit the names mentioned in the podcast. This quickly went viral, making the actress's name trend. When this happened, she edited the videos, hiding the names, but it was too late. Saskia had to come out and apologize and distance herself from what Beto had said.
Saskia assured that her goal was not to generate controversy or harm third parties, since it is not "an entertainment or show podcast," but rather to raise awareness about "the origin of violence in our country."
In the podcast Penitencia, hosted by Saskia Niño de Rivera, an inmate identified as Beto, who claimed to have been involved in the kidnapping of minors, said that one of his "alleged" clients was Carmen Salinas and claimed that she performed supposed rituals with them.
The video was originally published by Saskia and mentioned the actress's name. However, that part was later edited and deleted. Even so, many users saved the material before the modification, so the fragment where the mention is made began to circulate on social media.
According to geopolitical analyst Alfredo Jalife, Mossad has a strong presence in Mexico, with influence in political circles and also in organized crime and cartels. I wonder if the criminal organization that trained Beto and stripped him of his humanity has any connection to Mossad.
Beto emphasized in the interview that all this left a "void that can never be filled," a deep trauma caused by the total absence of love, affection, or protective figures. He reflected on how abandonment and systematic violence led him to become a perpetrator after being a victim.
