Cartel de Sinaloa Were Helped by Prison Staff to Escape

Video translation is as follows:

According to the news brief that the government of Mexico City provided. In the manifest list that the second shift guard duty on Tuesday has.

Between 19:30 and 20:10 hours the prisoners Victor Manuel Felix Beltran, Luis Fernando Mesa Gonzalez, and Yael Osuna Navarro were still in their dormitories.

But between 9 p.m. on Tuesday and 1 a.m. on Wednesday, security cameras in entry zones 1 and 2 detected the movement and activity of 5 inmates and 3 custodians who were not reported by any element of security. These are steps in which the traces of the modus operandi of the leak were discovered 7 hours later.

Rosa Icela Rodriguez: The locks and doors that communicated to the cells of the escapees were unlocked and open. A security bar was also cut where it is inferred that the escapees descended a meter and a half to a second common area.

And by means of wire cutters they cut the cyclonic fence to extend to the ground floor.

Traveling a space of approximately 20 meters supported by a ladder. From where it is inferred that they access the upper part of the perimeter wall of the prison

To descend onto the internal floor where the transfer vehicles are located.

Female Reporter: The 3 inmates who escaped used this transport vehicle to escape, taking advantage of the fact that the unit had scheduled the transfer of a sick inmate to the Rubén Leñero hospital

By the time the vehicle leaves the prison without being reviewed by the prison guards, capital authorities estimate that the escapees had escaped the Reclusorio Sur at 5:50 a.m. on Wednesday.

With the tracking of the transport van through the C5 cameras, the authorities could not establish whether the 3 escaped inmates descended from the unit at some point in the city or at the Rubén Leñero hospital.

After it was determined that in this vehicle the 3 inmates escaped at 5:50 in the morning. This would have given them 2 hours to leave Mexico City or hide.

Because the escape wasn't reported until 8 in the morning when the third shift of prison guards did their routine patrols.  There they realized that dormitory # 7 was vacant.

And that the neighboring cells to which Víctor Manuel Felix Beltrán, Luis Fernando Meza Gonzalez, and Yael Osuna Navarro had access to did not have security bars in place.

Ciro Gómez Leyva: To find these inmates, 350 police officers from the city were deployed. It was said that in 25 different strategic  points.  They were located at the entrances and exits to Mexico City.

They are checking vehicles.  By the way, Federal Security Secretary Alfonso Durazo informed that the National Guard is already collaborating in this search.

The Secretary of Government of the City Rosa Icela Rodríguez said that they already requested the resignation of the director of the Reclusorio Sur Omar Tonatiuh Zamora Mendoza. And for the inmate security officer also.  Well, we shall see if he resigns.
