This Saturday, through a statement, the State Public Security Secretariat (SSP) announced that when elements of the PEP carried out security tours in the vicinity of the Estación Camacho community, belonging to the municipality of Mazapil.
They observed a convoy of five vehicles that circulated at an excessive speed and whose drivers when noticing the police presence showed an evasive attitude, started a chase.
During the operation, the evaders left a gray Toyota Tundra truck abandoned to continue their escape in the rest of the units.
When inspecting said vehicle, the operating personnel located four men in the vehicle who said they had been kidnapped and that their captors, before the police movement, released them.
After providing them with the required attention, they were transferred and advised to file a complaint with the competent authority.
Sol, thanks for writing this. I have become so jaded about any system in Mexico.
ReplyDeleteI have a question, as I honestly do not know as I currently sit from afar, having left and having no contacts there. IS There any group deemed less corrupt than the other. Meaning, are the state police less corrupt than the municipal or Federal etc etc. Or does it depend the area OR are most working for one cartel or the other?
...aslo, as always, thanks for taking the time for translating these stories etc. I realize it's the journalists that risk there lives etc. but without your guys help consolidating stories in one place etc...just know it is appreciated as I'm sure it can be a pain in the ass.
ReplyDeleteLooks real suspicious that nobody was arrested, the PEPOS could have staged the whole incident and let the suspects off.
ReplyDeleteMazapil is a backwards rancho and criminals like these do not have enough huachicol, let alone Nitro and turbos and racing stars with which to "escape the PEPOS".
The last line of this article...lol
ReplyDeleteRight there's no competent authority in Mexico.
DeleteThe convoy of suspects go away, no one arrested, but good that 4 kidnapped are alive and well, hope they can provide information on the kidnappers, they were close to going to the slaughter house to get cut up and a Manta pinned.

DeleteThe countries biggest gold mine is there. What cartel/pandilla claims that area?
ReplyDeleteMy family arrived in that area in the early 1800 and worked the gold mines before finally settling in Coahuila & Nuevo León.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Mine too, but late 1500s.
DeleteMx
DeleteMine could have been there much before but you know back then the only way they had head count was through baptisms. I’m sure they had arrived much before the 1800s
1:53 - Have you worked on a family tree/genealogy report? Looking at records prior to the late 1700s is extremely difficult because the cursive is almost unreadable.
DeleteChances are you are of Sephardic Jewish origins, since many of the Crypto-Jews who arrived in Mexico during the Inquisition first settled in Zacatecas and then moved to Coahuila/Nuevo Leon.
My family arrived in Zacatecas sometime in the early/mid 1500’s from Spain... lotta history in Zac...
Delete-Holden D. Cash
@ MX
DeleteMy 90 year old grandma just died and she would tell me that her great grandma was from Spain and was tall with blue eyes.
My grandma was short and dark, my guess a lot of mixing with the natives in northern Mexico.
I believe some of my family were Jew and then converted to Catholicism.
9:59 - Have you done genealogy research? I won't ask for your surname but that is usually a given if your family is from certain parts of northern Mexico where we know Jewish communities settled (places like Monterrey, Saltillo, La Frontera Chica, etc.)
DeleteA lot of the early settlers from Portugal/Spain that settled in northern Mexico were Jewish (in secret, or "Crypto-Judaism"). Many of the Jewish people were converted to Catholicism by force (or "Anusim"), including my ancestors.
MX you and your family are marranos huh?
Delete6:06 - At least my early primogenitor who arrived to Mexico was considered a "marrano" or "Cypto-Jew".
DeletePinchis Chichimecas above trying to steal Thor's Thunder.
ReplyDeleteReal Aztecs would go on to Mexico city to create The Great Tenochtitlan but never knew the Toltec, the Mayas, the Inca, the Olmec or Teotihuacan, most indian people got diseased and died from epidemics brought into the continent by europeans, and that includes the north american indians
