Wilmer Chavarría Barré

Wilmer Chavarría Barré, also known as 'Pipo', is a notable figure in Ecuador's organized crime landscape, having co-founded the criminal group Los Lobos. Originally part of Los Choneros, Pipo emerged as a key player following a schism within the organization. After the assassination of Los Choneros' leader Jorge Luis Zambrano, Pipo led Los Lobos in a bid for control over lucrative narcotrafficking routes, aligning with various factions and Mexican cartels. His activities have drawn significant attention from both Ecuadorian and U.S. authorities, who have classified Los Lobos as a terrorist organization due to their involvement in extortion, drug trafficking, and violent crime.
