This sexy pink-haired Mexican influencer has been arrested for being a member of a dangerous drug gang.

Gaby Castillo, 26, who boasts 762,000 followers on Instagram, is accused of being a member of the criminal group Union Tepito.

The influencer and reality star, who was in the process of launching a singing career under the name Briela Sanz, was arrested for drugs offences and fraud related to the purchase of luxury cars, according to the news site El Universal.

She was detained in the area of Tlatelolco in the Mexican capital Mexico City on 3rd January.

The influencer was travelling in a luxury black pickup truck with over MXN 1 million (GBP 36,000) in cash in the company of Jose Hareff Soto Jimenez, 35, a member of the Los Soto family, suspected of stealing and selling high-end vehicles, according to El Universal.

The police also reportedly found hundreds of small packages of drugs resembling cocaine and marijuana as well as a firearm in the black pickup truck.

Meanwhile, the police checked the status of the vehicle the pair was travelling in and learned that it had been bought by the Los Soto gang with a fake cheque on 14th December.

The suspects are being investigated for drug dealing, the fraudulent purchase of luxury vehicles, and Castillo is also suspected of taking photos of clients in compromising positions before blackmailing them for cash.

Castillo, who appeared on the hit reality show ‘Enamorandonos’, was previously in a relationship with the suspected head of Union Tepito, Oscar Andres Flores Ramirez, alias El Lunares, who is currently serving over 20 years for murder, organised crime and selling drugs.

Before that, she had been in a relationship with drug trafficker ‘El Pollo’, a member of the same group who was killed in 2019.

The investigation continues.
