Mexican authorities believe gunmen from Cartel Jalisco New Generation (CJNG) killed at least 14 people who refused to work for them.
The claim follows the discovery of a mass grave with 68 bags of human remains in the central region of the country.
The discovery of the remains comes after authorities arrested a cell of nine gunmen from CJNG who had been operating in Toluca. From the subsequent investigations, authorities were able to learn of the mass graves used by the gunmen. “The hypothesis that we have is that in fact they were street-level dealers and they had small drug stores,” Cervantes said in a televised news conference. “The way these organizations operate is that they move against those who don’t join their operation. They invite them and if they don’t receive a satisfactory answer, they eliminate them, that is what they do.”
