This was the Succar Kuri child pornography network revealed by Lydia Cacho

This Friday, pedophile businessman Jean Succar Kuri died, but dozens of those involved in a child pornography ring in Quintana Roo remain free.

The case began in 2003, when journalist Lydia Cacho discovered the network, which revolved between the hotel zone and the poorest part of Cancun, and which was linked through a group of businessmen, senators and governors.

The characters had a “fascination” with pedophilia and were dedicated to bringing girls from different countries, according to the same journalist, who published the book Los demonios del Edén in 2005, where she exposed her investigation to the world.

Next to Succar Kuri

In 2018, while giving a lecture, Cacho said that one of the girls went to the authorities to file a complaint and what they did was notify the leader of the gang, who escaped from Mexico to the United States.

The person responsible was Succar Kuri, who died today.

The journalist pointed out that as far as she could document, the businessman brought up to 200 girls and boys to the hotel zone of Quintana Roo, where businessmen and politicians were going to abuse minors between 4 and 13 years of age. In addition to making child pornography.

With the help of a hacker, he accessed the deep web in 2003, finding a large part of the network, made up of governors, senators and multimillionaire Mexican and foreign businessmen.

The children

Lydia Cacho described that she consulted international experts to try to rescue the victims, those boys and girls.

While she was doing field research, she wrote down what she documented and turned it into a book. Based on the information she had gathered, a businessman approached her to offer her a million dollars for an organization she had created to rescue women victims of domestic violence or children rescued from trafficking.

“Mrs. Cacho, you will not survive, you will not be able to publish the book you want to publish and if you accept this money to help the poor victims you receive in your shelter, we will all continue to be friends and there will be no problem and we will help you stop the leader of the gang,” the businessman recounted.

In addition, the general director of the publishing house Penguin Random House México was pressured by the then Secretary of Public Security, Miguel Ángel Yunes Linares, against the publication of the book.

Cacho stated that for the publication of the book, 200 boys and girls had already been rescued, of whom he had a name, surname and the identity of their parents.

Torture

The activist was arrested in December 2005 by a dozen police officers who, without an arrest warrant, took her from Cancún to Puebla in a vehicle owned by textile industry businessman José Kamel Nacif.

The businessman was one of the main people named in the book dedicated to the investigation of the event titled “The Demons of Eden”, in which the journalist denounced a plot of child pornography and prostitution.

During the road trip from Cancun to Puebla, which lasted more than 20 hours, Cacho was physically and psychologically tortured and said she suffered sexual touching, advances and death threats.

The reaction

After Succar Kuri’s death was announced, journalist Lydia Cacho shared that she has been speaking with the paedophile’s survivors. For the men and women who were raped as minors by the businessman, “this now means the end of the nightmare.”

“21 years after this battle began, the leader of the network has died – sentenced and imprisoned. #NobodyGivesUpHere,” he said.
