ReplyDelete12:13; Thank you for analyzing this with an open mind. Although $75k this is an unusually large bribe going to GN soldiers, these men may have represented funds would go up the appropriate chain of command; but just as likely, unlike a US enforcement officer, their odds of either busting or calling in after bribery would statistically have the men dean (and possibly their family) murdered and disappeared.
DeleteLike comments at 9:24; citizens of the USA need to think outside their little bubble and put things into perspective. I feel for these government employees seeking to improve their lives but end up in a situation making a wage that has them subsiding on tortillas to support their families, and are constantly threatened (by narcos and their superiors) with death if they don’t comply…..like you said; Plato o plomo.
Didn't somebody tell those soldiers that the GN is uncorruptable? On a serious note, can someone offer me a reasonable guesstimate on what % of the Guardia Nacional is corrupted please? I know it's probably a "stupid question" I'm seeking an answer that is fact based and not "Mexico is 10,000% corrupt. Thank you, BB. You guys and gals have kept me sane the past few months. I've been dealing with health, relationship and financial issues and Alleve,hot baths and this site have been my only escape. Thank you. I hope Chivis is doing well. Viva Juan Rambo and Sicario 006 for a good laugh.
ReplyDeleteAbout 20% of GN is curupt.
DeleteYes obradors government is curupt, they want to milk all the money in form of bribes, CJNG has been growing, look how many States in Mexico, they are in now. Many a times the military of Mexico, had chances to shoot up cartel convoys, from the air, but we never hear that happening.
Not too long ago in NY the youngest ever ,32yo to rise to lieutenant in corrections was busted bringing large quantities of heroin into the prison.
ReplyDeleteThis guy had an awesome trajectory to being a young warden . Amazing what greed does. There isn't a correlation here but only greed knows no border.
What an imbecile
DeleteDidn't lopez obrador say the Guardia was not corrupt when he replaced it and solved the federal police? Same people different uniform Presidente.pendejo.
