Gaby Castillo, arrested on gang-related drug and fraud charges

Clearly, not everything online reflects reality.

Especially for influencer Gaby Castillo, 26, who was arrested for being a suspected member of the Union Tepito gang.

But you wouldn’t have known just by looking at her online content, which features her gym selfies and bikini-clad snaps.

Pink-haired Castillo, who boasts 763,000 Instagram followers, was arrested on drug offenses and fraud associated with purchasing luxury cars, per Spanish news outlet El Universal.

The reality star, who was in the process of launching a singing career under the name Briela Sanz, was apprehended — while traveling in style in a luxury, black pickup truck in possession of 1 million Mexican pesos (nearly $49,000) — in Mexico City on Monday.

She was accompanied by Jose Hareff Soto Jimenez, 35, whose Los Soto family is suspected of stealing and reselling luxury cars.

And to make matters worse, the police also discovered hundreds of packages containing drugs that they suspect to be cocaine and marijuana — as well as a firearm — in the vehicle, which was purchased with a fake check in December.

In addition to the other offenses, Castillo is being investigated for taking compromising photos of clients used to blackmail them for money.

She has also been romantically linked to the supposed head of Union Tepito, Oscar Andres Flores Ramirez (also known as El Lunares), who is currently in prison for murder, organized crime and selling drugs, racking up a 20-year sentence.

The investigation is ongoing.
