After a possible purge in a criminal organization, alleged members of organized crime this Tuesday left the bodies of seven people and five packages with human remains in the streets of the metropolitan area of Monterrey, in Mexico.
The Attorney General’s Office of the State of Nuevo León, bordering the United States, reported on the location of the bodies. They were all men.
Gerardo Palacios Pámanes, Secretary of State Security, attributed these murders to a cleanup in a criminal group, published EFE. “What we shared and visualized was a purge within an organized crime group that has its main residence in Tamaulipas,” he said.
The official, who said that these events would be linked to “disloyalties”, called an emergency security meeting, where the acting state prosecutor Pedro Arce announced that they will ask the municipalities to provide the material recorded by the security cameras that They are installed in the areas where the bodies and remains were found.
“The municipalities will be asked to share the videos with us so that experts in the matter can analyze the precise moments in which the bodies were left,” the agency quoted the prosecutor as saying.
Arce assured that these types of events had not occurred in Nuevo León since the federal government declared the “war on drug trafficking” some time ago. In the last five years, he indicated, there is no record of acts in this number. “In the bloodiest time 10 or 12 years ago there were similar acts, in this volume I do not remember in the recent past,” he said.
