Through a press release, the Moderatto gang announced the following: “The criminals kidnapped the drivers and helpers, who they “pointed at guns” and “hooded” them, and later abandoned them. As they explain in their press release, their team was detained by an armed commando.
They have not yet received a response about their belongings, although they presumably know that they are in an area close to where their drivers and assistants were abandoned. About them they affirm that “they are fine, but beaten and scared”.
The band also manifested itself on Instagram and added the following: “Unfortunately our equipment was stolen in Mexico -Puebla in the framework of the #FeriaDePuebla2022 where MODERATTO has a presentation. We request support from the authorities of the Government of Puebla and the State of Mexico, since they are our work tools.”
Given the situation, Moderatto made a call through Twitter to various governors of Puebla and the State of Mexico: “Dear Governor @MBarbosaMX We ask for your support in order to recover our stolen equipment on the highway Mexico-Puebla for the presentation at the #FeriaDePuebla2022@FiscaliaPuebla“.
In the following: “Dear Governor @alfredodelmazo, how you must already be aware, our equipment was stolen on the Mexico-Puebla highway. As you should also know, today we had a presentation at the #FeriaDePuebla2022. We ask for your support to be able to recover our equipment. @FiscaliaEdomex.
It is valid to mention, as other Mexican media have done, that this is not the first time that a musical band experiences an event of violence like this. In the year 2019 it was February when Café Tacvba experienced this same event. His equipment was stolen on the Puebla-Córdoba highway, as the Excelsior portal correctly resumed.
