Tampico, Tamaulipas, Mexico - A video released on December 27, by the Gulf Cartel shows that its members from the criminal organization were out busy on Christmas Eve giving out free pizza and gifts to the same population that it extorts, traffic drugs too, kidnaps for ransom and kills for profit. The Christmas Eve cheer and the distribution of gifts was held in various popular places, including at parking lot near the Carlos Canseco Hospital, across from the main bus terminal, near the Social Security building and other areas.
Those distributing food and gifts used at least four pickup trucks and carried their weapons openly, according to people who witnessed the event. No injuries were reported.
Local police in the area, including the Federal Police, ministry police, state police and the Mexican military didn't even attempt to interfere with the Gulf Cartel's mission to give out free pizza and gifts to the needy on Christmas Eve.
