Torreón School Gunman’s Grandparents Investigated for Financial Irregularities

Video translation is as follows:

Newscaster: This is José Ángel Ramos and Jasmin Natali Betts.. The parents of the child who murdered his teacher and shot at his peers inside the Colegio Cervantes in Torreón, Coahuila.

Today the authorities said that the history of both could be the key for the shooting on Friday. The father with a past criminal record and the mother allegedly beheaded.

Male Interviewee: Many times it’s inclusive if we also see the way in which the child's mother died. It looks like she was beheaded. The father seems to have also been imprisoned in the United States because of drug trafficking.

Unfortunately, these kinds of actions, many parents don’t realize that with their actions they are damaging, not just the disintegration of their home, they are also damaging a child’s life and future.

Female Reporter: Was the mother assassinated?

Male Interviewee: Looks like she was beheaded.

Newscaster: However, the case has fallen more on the student's grandparents. There is an investigation against José Ángel Saucedo and Rebecca Jiménez for irregular movements in their bank accounts.

The head of the financial intelligence unit Santiago Nieto reported that the accounts would be frozen. In them there were more than 100 million pesos. He also found that they bought 6 luxury vehicles in less than 2 years. And millionaire transfers like this to the United States.

Male Interviewee # 2: We found luxuries of resources that don’t correspond to a usual way for Mrs. Rebeca Jiménez and Mr. José Ángel Ramos, as well as the father and son. And this has generated the corresponding research. We will present the results to the state prosecutor's office as well as the general prosecutor of the Republic.

Newscaster: The Angel Ramos family appeared repeatedly in the local social media pages of Torreón. There they announced their children's weddings, their birthday celebrations and even bachelorette parties.

Ciro Gómez Leyva: The head of financial intelligence says we found resources that don’t correspond to the usual form. That one word stands out, statements like that are made and it only happens right before the media arrives.

Statements concerning banking as they are known. But here the question is: An account of 100 million pesos, a lifetime, a few days, a few weeks? Anyways. Such are the statements today on this case.

And this morning a judge issued preventive prison for the grandfather. The one we came across a few moments ago. The child's grandfather. Mr. José Ángel Ramos Saucedo is implicated for the murder of teacher Maria Assaff by omission.

For having ignored the safekeeping of the weapons he had in his house. And 2 of those weapons were taken by his grandson. On Sunday the second hearing will be held for him where his legal situation will be defined.
