Luis Mazariegos
Luis Mazariegos is the coordinator of the Observatorio contra el Contrabando (OCC) at the Cámara Guatemalteca de Alimentos y Bebidas (CGAB). He has been vocal about the high percentage of illicit goods, particularly in the El Guarda market, where he estimates that 80% of the merchandise is of illegal origin, often linked to smuggling from Mexico. Mazariegos emphasizes the challenges authorities face in regulating such markets due to the potential for conflict with vendors and the associated risks to law enforcement.
