Svet was an ordinary police officer at the Tijuana local police station.
But he was also a member of a local society called "Pescador mexicano," which was not about fishing, but rather a rather extreme Drug Enforcement Organization.
There are many such organizations in the Latin American region, with strong connotations.
For example, the Aryan Brotherhood in the United States advocates for white supremacy.
The organization had about seven members, all of whom had deep vendettas against drug traffickers. It wasn't that they didn't plan on recruiting more people, but this was Tijuana.
One and a half out of every three people were involved in drug trafficking.
The half were the undecided ones, swayed by whatever was in their best interest. If the money was right, they could also be members of a Drug Enforcement Organization.
To prevent accidents, they rarely took in new members.
Their main goal was to hunt down lone drug traffickers!
Even Svet's wife was unaware of this.
