Acapulco, Guerrero,
September 12, 2016— The mutilated hands of a person were found on a disposable plate
on 4th Street and Mexico Avenue in the neighborhood of Bellavista.
A phone call to the
emergency number 066 warned of the finding as police rushed to the scene to
verify the information.
Upon arriving at the location,
a disposable plate was found with a lid, and under the lid was a pair of hands
with radishes, onions, and cilantro, as if it were an order of tacos.
The police cordoned off
the area while staff from the Attorney General’s Office of Guerrero conducted
the relevant proceedings, to then order the transfer of the human remains to
the medical forensic service.
Mexican authorities reported Tuesday that they had arrested 13 federal police officers who allegedly belonged to a murder and kidnapping gang in the Pacific coast resort of Acapulco.
The operation was one of the largest against corrupt police officers in Mexico in recent years. The federal security spokesman Eduardo Sánchez said, "The 13 officers and 5 civilians are linked to at least seven homicides and four kidnappings, in which two of the victims were killed in a cowardly way"
The Federal Police (PF) conducted a "thorough investigation" that led this week to the arrest of 18 criminals, including 13 active agents in the southern state of Guerrero, where Acapulco is located.
These people, including a woman, are "linked to at least seven murders and four kidnappings," the official said, adding that those arrested are also allegedly responsible for drug trafficking and organized crime.
He noted that they are currently investigating the world of the gang members, headed by a civilian identified as Luis Miguel Gonzalez, to determine if there is more involved.
In the case of the federal police, Sanchez said he may face a penalty of up to 70 years imprisonment for each of the kidnapping, in addition to those received by other crimes, and said that "there will be no mercy" to them.
These agents were sent to the southern Mexican state operating under the program Safe Guerrero, designed by the Federal Government in October 2011, to combat criminal groups and stop the wave of kidnappings, extortion, and drug related shootings in that region.
"Under no circumstances will we tolerate impunity and corruption by any public servant," said Eduardo Sánchez, Secretary of the Interior, who lamented that police officers who are entrusted will violate the law are committing "acts of treason."
So far the administration of Enrique Peña Nieto, who started last December 1, have been 94 federal police officers jailed, including the 13 officers arrested in Guerrero, but they've dismissed "many more," said National Security Commissioner Manuel Mondragón.
Speaking to Milenio Television, PF chief said the 13 policemen were already incarcerated in high security prisons in the north of the country and reiterated their commitment to "zero tolerance" to corruption.
The detained civilians: Luis Miguel González Petatán, 31, the presumed leader of the criminal group; Jonathan Piedra Soberanis, 24; Gerardo Ocampo Guzmán, 32; Roberto Bolaños Manríquez,35 años, and Paloma Rosa Iris Carrillo Abarca, 31.
The federal police officers are identified: police thirds Antonio Velázquez González 31; Máximo Olvera García, 29; Rubén Bonilla Alatriste, 27; Miguel Torres Efraín, 32; Jorge Cruz Rubio, 32; Édgar Acosta Apodaca,28; Omar Obispo Fernández, 22; Marco Antonio Quiroz Mejía, 28; David Rosas Martínez, 31; Alejandro Camacho Flores, 27; César Leandro Ruiz Rodríguez, 22; the police first (level), Rodrigo Miranda Villanueva, 29 años, and the official José Guadalupe Castillo Cool, 52.
"We will not give an inch" and "continue cleaning our house" until we're up to "100% respectability. " in the PF, who Mondragon admitted, "there is much to do yet," including a rethinking of exams, trust and control issues..."
The Federal Police, created during the administration of Felipe Calderón (2006-2012), has been involved in several corruption scandals involving abuse of authority.
Just in time for spring break, drug cartels continue to spread the gore around. Not only are they affecting those participating in the game, but also the local vendors who have nothing to do with their war, but are taking the pinch in their wallets. Who is to blame? Who is winning Acapulco? You be the judge. One thing's for sure, if you want to find beautiful empty beaches and bargain prices, Acapulco may be the place to go. In a twisted sense of humor, it might cost you an arm and a leg though.. literally.
Five People Executed and Dismembered in Acapulco By Ezequiel Flores Contreras
ACAPULCO, GUERRERO, March 25, 2011 Five men were executed and their bodies were dismembered in this beach destination, along with messages allegedly signed by the capo Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman and directed to state officials and local police accused of supporting the Independent Cartel of Acapulco. Four of the victims were identified as police officers; Jesus Alfredo Way Hernandez, Juan Antonio Moreno Garduño; Víctor Hernández Gutierrez and Felipe de Jesús Ramírez Medina.
This incident took place one hour after Mexican President Felipe Calderon inaugerated the 36th edition of the Tourist Marketplace in the International Center of Acapulco, a location that resembled a military bunker due to the presence of soldiers and law enforcement personnel of three levels, practically bulletproofing the coastal area of Miguel Aleman in the vicinity of Costa Azul.
According to official sources, at approximately 2:00 PM a burgurndy Honda CRV was reported to be abandoned on Farallon Ave, in front of a department store. The remains of two dismembered bodies were found scattered outside the vehicle and three more dismembered bodies were discovered in plastic bags inside the vehicle. Two handwritten messages were left behind by Sicarios which read:
Acapulco, Guerrero - Marines and federal law enforcement agents arrested 25 police officers, including three command-level officers, in Acapulco, a city in the Mexican Pacific state of Guerrero, but officials did not say why the officers were detained.
Guerrero Gov. Zeferino Torreblanca confirmed that the officers were arrested, but he did not provide any details, saying only that his government would not tolerate actions that violated the law.
The municipal police officers were taken to the 8th Naval Zone facility in Acapulco.
The officers were detained when they arrived early Tuesday at the residence of Acapulco city council secretary-general Vicente Trujillo Sandoval in response to a supposed shooting report.
The officers’ relatives went to the 8th Naval Zone base to request information about their cases.
Carmen Nicolas Camacho and Ema Luna Garcia, the mothers of officers Eduardo Jimenez Nicolas and Javier Luna, respectively, said their sons were mistreated by the marines and they planned to file a complaint with the Human Rights Commission.
In the Mexican resort city, gunmen fire at two men in a car and federal police officers. They also shoot at other vehicles, leaving behind casings from AK-47s, which are favored by drug hit men.
Acapulco, Guerrero - A chaotic shootout Wednesday on a hotel-lined boulevard in the beach resort city of Acapulco left as many as six people dead, Mexican authorities said. Police said the gunbattle started when "armed men traveling in several vehicles opened fire on the occupants of another vehicle," killing both men.
Federal police officers patrolling the area came under fire after they heard gunshots and saw attackers shooting at two men in a car, authorities said. The gunmen also shot at other vehicles as they tried to flee, riddling dozens of cars with bullet holes.
It was unclear why the men were targeted. Drug gangs have staged shootouts in Acapulco before, but seldom in broad daylight amid heavy traffic, and never with such a toll among bystanders.
Police tried to intercept the gunmen's vehicles.
"In their attempt to escape, the assailants opened fire on several private vehicles, killing three people, including a child," federal police said in a statement.
While police officers may have tried to return fire, the area was littered with hundreds of shell casings from AK-47 assault rifles — a weapon used almost exclusively by Mexico's drug cartels.
Mexican Port City of Acapulco Hit by New Spate of Violence.
Acapulco, Guerrero - Five police officers were killed in an armed attack in the southern Mexican port city of Acapulco, where eight other bodies bearing signs of torture have been found in recent hours, authorities said Saturday.

Separately, the Public Safety Secretariat in Guerrero state said a total of eight bodies were found Friday night in different parts of Acapulco.
Five of the bodies – all bearing gunshot wounds – were discovered near a road leading to a nearby tourist town. Two of the victims had been decapitated, a common practice among Mexico’s ruthless drug gangs.
Acapulco, Mexico — Mexican authorities found seven corpses in two abandoned cars along with written messages referring to drug cartels, state police said Wednesday.
The bullet-riddled bodies of three men were inside a car left beside the highway between the resort communities of Acapulco and Zihuatanejo on Wednesday morning, police in the Pacific coast state of Guerrero said.
Police did not release the message left with the bodies, but said it referred to drug cartels.
Late Tuesday night, state police found the bodies of four young men in an abandoned car near a hotel in Guerrero's capital, Chilpancingo. A police report said the men appeared to have been asphyxiated by plastic tape covering their faces.
