TUVO PLACA DE POLICÍA… PERO TRABAJABA PARA LA MS-13: ASÍ CAYÓ 'EL LOCO TRECE'

Imagine trusting a man in uniform. A man who was supposed to protect honest people. But according to authorities, behind that badge hid a double life. Edgardo Geovanni Morán Dueñas, known as “El Loco Trece” (Crazy Thirteen), was identified as a former police officer linked to MS-13. And when justice caught up with him, the story revealed a betrayal that directly impacts all of El Salvador. In this episode of The Hidden Force, we recount how “El Loco Trece,” a former Salvadoran police officer who, according to police reports, had maintained ties with criminal organizations for years, was brought down. The story involves a badge, trust, gangs, arrest, and a serious accusation related to the deaths of two young people in Atiquizaya. For a long time, many saw him as just another neighbor. A familiar face. A former officer of the National Civil Police. But the authorities saw him differently: as a leader of the MS-13 gang and as someone wanted by the law. This video reconstructs the case based on public reports, police sources, and official publications. It's not just another arrest. It's a tough question: what happens when someone who swore to protect the people ends up being accused of serving the very groups that sowed fear in the streets? We don't glorify criminals here. We tell what happened so it's not forgotten. Because a badge can represent honor, sacrifice, and protection. But when someone uses it as a shield to betray their own people, the fall weighs much heavier.
