Authorities have requested a police investigation following the discovery of six bodies wrapped in plastic, their faces covered and bound, in a crime-ridden area. The victims, comprising four men and two women, are believed to have been murdered before being callously abandoned. The incident occurred in Zacatecas, Mexico, with the bodies later found in Jalisco, sparking a disagreement between local authorities and the Zacatecas government over the relocation theory.
Rodrigo Reyes Mugüerza, Zacatecas’s general secretary, stated that neither the Ministry of Public Security nor the State Attorney General’s Office had confirmed the reported discovery. The focus now is on apprehending those responsible for the deaths and the disposal of the bodies.
The region of Jalisco where the bodies were left is notorious for criminal activities and groups, situated near multiple states. Meanwhile, concerns have arisen in Mexico as officials urge caution in pursuing Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as El Mencho, to prevent potential violence spilling over, particularly with the upcoming FIFA World Cup in Canada, the US, and Mexico. The Mexican government has advised the US Attorney General against taking action against the cartel leader, citing fears of the Jalisco Cartel’s extensive power and influence.
A senior Jalisco cartel member recently disclosed that Oseguera’s security detail includes elite Russian commandos and advanced weaponry. Any significant move against the drug lord could have severe consequences for Guadalajara, a key venue for international matches. Mexico aims to maintain peace leading up to the World Cup, possibly halting operations against cartel members to ensure a tranquil environment during the global sporting event.
