A group consisting of lost Mexican relatives in early March arrived on an abandoned farm in a small village near Guadajara in Western Mexico.
They had received an anonymous hint that the farm had previously served as a training center for the new generation of Jalisco (CJNG). The region is in the cartel area.
As they began to explore the soil, they found creepy things: hundreds of charred bone fraud, teeth, skulls and fingertips.
– When we started digging and finding the first furnace, we found small pieces of bone, says a member of a missing group Luz tuscano For Reuters news agency.
The investigation is in progress
The Mexican authorities have not yet confirmed that the findings are human remains. The investigation of the case is still ongoing.
The Jalisco State Prosecutor’s Office told Reuters that, in addition to the pieces of bone, hundreds of clothing and different caliber sleeves were investigated by the authorities.
The group also found abandoned shoes by mound, over 200 pairs.
“Of course, this immediately comes to mind in Auschwitz,” said José Ramón Cossíoformer Mexican Supreme Court President Aristgui Noticias.
– My love, if not one day, I just ask you to remember how much I love you, read in a letter found on the farm South China Morning Post According to the magazine.
José Raúl Servín García was one of the volunteers who studied the space. He describes what he has experienced as a huge shock.
“My first thought was the wish that no relative – boy or husband – would never have been in this place, was tortured or murdered here,” García tells the magazine.
The leader of the farm in the farm Indira navarro tells Washington Postthat they heard last year that young people have disappeared. As information about the farm spread to the public, survivors of the camp have shared their experiences with Mexican media and Navarro.
According to the reports, young people have taken the bus to Guadalajara after work announcements. They have been offered the work of an electrician and a farmer. Then they disappeared.
The stories are rugged. Guadlajara did not meet the future employer, but were taken to a farm where they were undergoing military -style education.
Those who did not manage or obey the instructions were killed.
The bodies were chopped and the campers were forced to dig into pits, where temporary furnaces were built from rocks and bricks. It is not yet known whether the body parts were burned in them.
Many were replaced by Izaguirre contrary to their will, but some volunteered.
Tuscano believes that young people went after beautiful promises and money.
– People hoped to make money and help their families. They were surprised when they were forced to work.
According to Washington Post, criminal gangs are already a very important employer in Mexico. According to a study published in 2023, they must recruit at least 350 people a week to continue their operations, the magazine writes.
Authorities knew about the camp
Finding the camp has also caused rage because the authorities knew about it. It was examined last September: ten people were arrested, two kidnapped were released and one body wrapped in plastic was found. According to the authorities, the entire farm was not studied due to its large size.
Civilian researchers found mass graves in the area by pushing simple metal rods to the ground and smelling the tips of the rods to detect the odor of the decaying bodies.
In recent days, the authorities have found six areas in Farm where people have been buried. The total number of dead is not yet known.
Violence began about 20 years ago when the US -supported Mexican army attacked the private armies of criminal gangs. According to the Washington Post, the camp now found is not the only one of its kind, but the mass graves have been found almost weekly.
According to Washington Post, criminal organizations have strong roots in Mexico. They tighten companies, collect “taxes” from human smugglers, and comprehensively smuggle products from fuels to timber.
