The connection between popular influencer Markitos Toys and Nestor Isidro Pérez Salas, also known as El Nini, the security chief for the “Chapitos” wing of the Sinaloa drug cartel, has become a focal point of scrutiny.
In the aftermath of El Nini’s arrest on November 22, 2023, Markitos Toys, whose real name is Marcos Eduardo Castro, found himself under the spotlight.In a recent video, the 24-year-old influencer was visibly emotional, appearing to cry as he addressed his ties to two members of the Sinaloa drug cartel, notably El Nini.
While acknowledging his close friendship with the notorious cartel assassin, Markitos vehemently denied any involvement in criminal activities. He asserted that he had no control over El Nini’s actions and emphasized that their friendship never extended into illegal endeavors.
Despite expressing gratitude for their friendship, he also mentioned that the dangerous criminal would be missed.However, social media users remained skeptical of Markitos Toys’ tearful defense, especially after an alleged official document surfaced, identifying someone named Marcos Eduardo, alias ‘Markitos,’ as the financial operator of El Nini.
This revelation intensified suspicions regarding the influencer’s potential involvement in illicit activities.Markitos Toys, born in Culiacán, Sinaloa, Mexico, is a well-known YouTube content creator with over 3.7 million subscribers.
His content primarily revolves around motor and off-road vehicles, and he operates an Instagram account under the username Venta De Gorras MT.The influencer, no stranger to controversy, previously faced legal issues, including a 2020 arrest for driving without license plates and disturbing public order.
However, the recent accusations of money laundering for El Nini have brought Markitos into a new realm of speculation and criticism.The alleged official document not only linked Markitos as the financial operator for El Nini but also implicated his cousin, Kevin Daniel Castro Beltrán, who was reportedly arrested on November 23 for his association with the cartel.
Adding to the gravity of the situation, a disturbing video circulated on Spanish media depicting two men being mutilated by hitmen. The victims were coerced into naming Markitos Toys, with one victim uttering his name before suffering further violence.
The unfolding events have thrust Markitos Toys into a precarious situation, with social media buzzing about his alleged ties to criminal activities and the broader implications of his connection with El Nini and the Sinaloa drug cartel.
