Herrera also mentioned that the purpose of bringing criminal proceedings against those responsible, it is necessary to obtain 16 additional arrest warrants for the crime of the disappearance of persons.
"Among the 37 victims identified is a family of seven members, including a woman and a minor," Herrera said.
From late 2009 to September 2012, the Los Zetas criminal group has murdered and incinerated at least 150 people in the workshops of the Social Readaptation Center (Cereso) in Piedras Negras.
The remains of the victims were put in bags and thrown in the channel of the river San Rodrigo. The authorities diverted the river bed to locate the remains in the bags that were thrown.
However, "due to the floods caused by Hurricane Alex, the bags with human remains were washed away by the current and ended up in the Rio Bravo," said José Ángel Herrera.
Still in shock and in disbelief that such atrocities occurred in a penitentiary. Definitely an elaborate setup. All under the watchful eyes and protection of correctional officials.
ReplyDeleteGot to hand it to these individuals. Despite the horrors committed,it was an elaborate one.
This display of power and influence of the Zetas
cartel members is surprisingly well noted.
Getting a bit frustrated with repeating the same words over and over again " Hopefully justice prevails ". A phrase that bears any if none of value in a country where impunity reigns.
Guess prayers will have to suffice!

Prison officials and law enforcement personnel colluded with the kidnapping, murder and incineration of these victims. Previous articles have described how the government officials allowed the narcos the use of official vehicles, weapons and uniforms to carry out the kidnappings. Once the victims were delivered, the "inmates" went back to their cells to rest from their labors.
ReplyDeleteAs the posted article indicates, only 21 arrest warrants were issued even though is it highly likely that many more prison officials and personnel were involved in an operation of this magnitude. Remember, they have identified only 37 victims. Who knows how many other victims' remains the investigators have in their possession. Finally, it is clear they have only managed to recover a fraction of the remains that were disposed in the river (assuming that all or most of the remains were disposed of in this manner, which is unlikely).
So, it is fair to say that only a small fraction of the victims have been identified and that most of the actual victims will never be found or identified. In typical Mexican government investigatory practice, investigators have been slow in issuing arrest warrants against high level government officials who were involved, and probably the most highly placed will never be named. This is because in Mexico, these jobs are awarded through political connections, not merit. Even if these officials are identified and their collusion is proven, they will be allowed to resign or will be appointed to other government jobs. Remember Alfredo Castillo, Tomas Zeron, Jesus Murillo Karam, on and on and on. The Peter Principle is totally inapplicable in Mexican government organizations.
Unbelievable!
DeleteThanks for the full report.
Guess its fair to say that true justice does not exist for Mexican citizens.

is this becquse of zetas split? i wonder what cartel these dead bodies were from?...
ReplyDeleteMore likely the disappeared's families made too much noise for too long, enough for shit to leak off the mexican narco-government calzones.
DeleteThe vieja escuela controls 100% of piedras negras prison my tio an a primo both did time their my uncle 7years my cousin 11years and i got to visit them several times my tio sold dope inside in other words he was put to work by running one of many narco tienditas for the original zetas. La Zorra de Allende.
DeleteSo who will be held accountable?
ReplyDeleteHow will future injustices, mass murders, and atrocities be prevented if there are no repercussions???
Thank you/ Gracias for the prescient comments.
ReplyDeleteAs it should be.

truth
DeleteThe thing is a percentage of this is propaganda against the Z to bring in the new guys. I'm sure half the bodies found are Zetas them selves. But cjng is replacing Z. By killing them off or the scared and smart ones switch sides.
ReplyDelete6:07 demonizing los zetas is nothing compared with their dirty deeds, after all they trained with the School of the Americas Kaibiles, the Moreiros only feel safe because they brought in their FUERZA DELICTIVA COAHUILA to pass for a polesia estatal and have them watch their moreiro asses, they are still well connected, to epn, MAO OSORIO chón, el PRI, and hidalgo state, because Rubén el pelon moreiro got married to some legislator beech from the state when he was a federal congressman,
Deletepura pinchi tranza, si no no avanza, ponte lanza.
Meanwhile how many dead 58 500+ thats Five Hundre plus injured.. Las Vegas 10.02.2017 RIP
ReplyDeleteJust read President Fox says USA needs Gun control. He's right it works in Mexico
ReplyDelete5:34 there are not enough weapons in mexico simply because there is not enough money to buy them and then keep losing them to the police and the army, and that is about the only gun control in mexico,
Delete1:11 And the criminal element is 90% polesias...federales...
DeleteAs we all know in this blog, gun control does not work.Just take Mexico as an example, most guns above a small caliber are deemed for use exclisively for the military. Law abiding citizens do follow the law, but criminals can and do get their hands on ALL kinds of weapons. The only gun control is the one placed on law abiding citizens leaving them at the mercy of criminals who obtain their weapons in the black market.
ReplyDeleteI know but got hidden from those gun control asses
DeleteLol
If you get caught with weapons in mexico, your caboose is going to sweat bloody tears for being a pinchi terrorista and a narco scaring Abuelitas y niños y niñas en la calle, unless you have a permit, then you only pay a kickback or a mordida.
DeleteForget gun control, we need BULLET control.
ReplyDelete$5K per bullet.........as per Chris Rock.
Hope those responsible for this massacre get extradited to the USA and sent to supermax.no corridos or big trucks or lizard boots in there.just your orange uniform
