Markitos Admitted Friendship
Through tears, the 24-year-old acknowledged his friendship with the notorious cartel assassin but emphasized that their relationship was purely based on friendship and not criminal collaboration.
Markitos Toys expressed gratitude for the bond they shared, emphasizing that he was not connected to El Niniโs illicit pursuits. Despite his emotional plea, skepticism arose among social media users, particularly after an alleged official document identified someone named Marcos Eduardo, alias โMarkitos,โ as the financial operator for El Nini.
Some users questioned the authenticity of Markitos Toysโ defense, suggesting a potential connection between him and the criminal activities of the Sinaloa drug cartel.
Whoโs Markitos Toys?
Markitos Toys, a popular influencer hailing from Culiacรกn, Sinaloa, Mexico, boasts over 3.7 million subscribers on his YouTube channel, where he primarily focuses on content related to motor and off-road vehicles.
However, he has not been immune to controversy, with a past arrest in 2020 for driving without license plates and causing public disturbance.
Recent accusations of money laundering for El Nini surfaced amid the arrest of Kevin Daniel Castro Beltrรกn, Markitos Toysโ cousin, on November 23, allegedly for his association with the cartel.

The situation escalated further when a circulated video showed two individuals being tortured into naming Markitos Toys as being involved with the criminal activities of El Nini.
The combination of this disturbing footage and the purported official document has fueled speculation that Markitos Toys may have been more deeply entangled in illegal activities with El Nini than he admitted in his tearful video statement.
Social media discussions continue, with users questioning the influencerโs assertions and expressing doubts about the true nature of his relationship with the arrested cartel member.
