Expensive clothes and an allegedly luxurious lifestyle boast the one known in Chile as the “narco queen of Peñaflor” from the social network TikTok, where she shows her life in a South American prison.
Sabina Godoy Montero, alias “Ina, the narco queen,” was arrested in 2022 during an anti-drug operation in the metropolitan region city of Peñaflor, carried out by the Chilean Investigative Police.
During her arrest, Chilean media described Sabina Godoy as the “leader of one of the gangs responsible for drug trafficking and shootings” in Peñaflor. In the operation, authorities seized drugs valued at 40 million Chilean pesos (approximately 50,000 US), three firearms, and seven million Chilean pesos (8,000 USD) in cash. They also seized dispensers, ammunition, intercoms, and a vehicle.
Sabina Godoy was taken to a penitentiary after her arrest. However, the 20-year-old is presumably enjoying benefits inside the prison due to her lucrative criminal involvement in Chile.
From her cell and the “narco queen” has become an influencer on TikTok through videos she records from a cell phone. However, the use of these devices is not authorized inside Chilean prisons.
The national director of Gendarmería de Chile, Sebastián Urra, clarified to Meganoticias media how the alleged offender got the cell phone:

“(Cell phones) not only enter through ‘pelotazos’ -thrown from outside the prison-, but also through our own personnel who are corrupted. That is why we are investigating who are the people who are involved in this type of corruption,” he said.
Currently, “Ina, the narco queen,” boasts more than 241 thousand followers and more than five million “likes” on TikTok, where she shares videos of her high-priced manicures, her exclusive designer clothes, as well as operations, relationships in private clinics and vacations in the most luxurious places in Chile.
Her criminal career was so lucrative that through her TikTok account, she showed off her high-value manicure, exclusive designer clothes, operations, relationships in private clinics, and vacations in the most luxurious places in the country.
When she was arrested, “Ina, the narco queen,“ was diminished in her influence and power of action in drug trafficking. But her success on TikTok has not stopped, and she has even increased her number of followers thanks to the videos she records and publishes from jail.
She described herself as a delinquent and influencer.
Andrea Castro, a Gendarmería psychologist, referred to the profile of the delinquent influencer as a community of “young people who have built a delinquent identity, oriented toward crime based on an antisocial personality that requires constantly going against the rules”. He also explained that people in his situation use social networks to generate this validation and maintain this criminal profile.
