The ’Soup Man’ Who Dissolved 500 Victims From Cartels
El Pozolero: Dissolved Hundreds of Human bodies in Acid for Cartel
In January 2019, Santiago Meza Lopez was arrested by Mexican forces in the Baja Seasons Hotel in Ensenada. He was one of the most mysterious and most important figures in the narcotics underworld. He was so important that just a few days after his capture, an armed faction of cartel hitmen tried and failed to break him out of his cell.He was allegedly cooking seafood when the troops apprehended him and was too intoxicated to run. His crime? Well, let's say that seafood wasn't exactly his specialty. Meza has been dubbed 'el Pozolero', after the traditional Mexican meat and vegetable-based stew, Pozole. Meza's secret ingredient? Human bodies. That's right, corpses dissolved in tubs of acid - Breaking Bad style.

Oh, and perhaps refrain from any soup or stew throughout the video. Santiago Meza Lopez, aka el Pozolero, began work with the Arellano Felix cartel in 1996. He started off doing masonry work and taking care of the cartel's horses. Eventually, he got caught up in the drug scene, converting into a dealer. Before long, his loyalty and dedicated work ethic earned him the promotion to 'drug office keeper', in charge of the surveillance of the cartel's drug depots around Tijuana.
