EXCLUSIVE: Leaks Expose Major USPS-Linked Drug and Gun Smuggling Ring Tied to Morovis Mayor’s Sister
SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO — A series of explosive leaks has revealed an active federal investigation dating back to 2023 targeting Evelyn Maldonado González, better known by her alias “Mamba.” She is the sister of Morovis Mayor Carmen Maldonado González, aka “La Rubia.”
Authorities allege that Mamba has been operating a sophisticated smuggling network using her position as a United States Postal Service (USPS) employee to bypass security screening and move drugs and firearms between Puerto Rico and the mainland United States.
Mamba has spent recent days launching public accusations via Facebook against a well-known crime journalism outlet in what appears to be an attempt to discredit the reporting.
The Modus Operandi
According to the leaked intelligence reports, Maldonado allegedly exploited her role at USPS to facilitate large-scale contraband shipments. The investigation originated in Kissimmee, Florida (ZIP codes 34741–34747) and later expanded to Cleveland, Ohio (ZIP codes 43001–45999) after she was strategically transferred to the cargo operations area at Cleveland’s international airport.
The criminal organization reportedly operated on a two-way pipeline:
- To the United States: Multi-kilogram shipments of controlled substances originating from Puerto Rico.
- To Puerto Rico: Illegal trafficking of firearms back to the island.
Money Laundering and Properties in Vieques
Federal agents are also examining how the network laundered proceeds through the hospitality sector in the island municipality of Vieques. Evelyn Maldonado allegedly maintained a romantic relationship with a U.S. national nicknamed “Shawn,” who owns a lodging establishment there. Authorities are scrutinizing multiple residential and commercial properties in Vieques and other municipalities registered under straw buyers (testaferros) linked to Mamba, Mayor Carmen Maldonado González, and close family members. Investigators are probing whether the funds used to acquire these assets came from legitimate sources or illicit trafficking activities.
Local and International Connections
The intelligence dossier highlights strategic alliances with criminal groups across Puerto Rico and beyond:
- Fajardo: Alleged logistical support for weapons and narcotics supplied to the criminal organization operating in the Residencial Pedro Rosario.
- Naranjito: Commercial ties to a powerful local narco-entrepreneur known as “Callin” or “Callito.”
- Colombia: Federal agencies are investigating possible direct links between the Maldonado family and Colombian criminal organizations.
The leaks paint a picture of a family with deep reach into local politics and public employment allegedly using those positions to shield large-scale criminal enterprises. The investigation remains active, with sources indicating that additional arrests and asset seizures could be forthcoming.
