There is no evidence of burning bodies on a Mexican farm, the Attorney General says

and A deserted farm in western Mexico The groups looking for missing relatives have claimed to be a “extermination camp” – because of Neglected personal things and burning residue There was a major Cartel training center, the Prosecutor in Mexico announced on Tuesday. But he said, “There is no single evidence to prove,” that the farm was the site of human burning.

At a press conference that presents the results of his office so far in the prominent case, Public Prosecutor Alejandro Gertz said that the Izaguir farm in Tetuchitlan, a village near Guadalakara in Galisco, “has been completely used.” He said that the conclusion was based on certificates and documents.

But at the departure of the previous comments, Mr. Gertz insisted that there is no evidence of burning bodies on the farm.

Mr. Gertz said a container of very small bone fragments was found by the authorities who originally discovered the farm in September. He said that the studies conducted by the University of Mexico City on evidence, dirt and other materials did not find the temperature levels of more than 200 degrees Celsius. He said that burning requires levels exceeding 800 degrees.

Earlier this month, Mr. Gertz said these investigators He found no evidence From the Holocaust on the farm, but some human remains found there “traces of a kind of burning”. And the Minister of Security in Mexico, Omar Garcia Harvoush, He said Last month, based on the testimony of the detained person, the cartel went to the extent of the killing of those who resisted or tried to escape.

On Tuesday, Mr. Gertz said that in addition to the same body that the authorities found in September, when the National Guard exchanged fire with people on the farm, investigators did not find more bodies or bones.

Mr. Gertz said that the trenches and holes on the ground – which were believed to be ovens of burning ovens – were fire.

The search groups still believe that the farm was a site of extermination and that people had been burned there, given what they found last month. He said that the officials were using the technical language in an attempt to change the narration.

He said: “The government can call it everything it wants, but I believe that the Mexican society is mature enough and realizes this whole issue from Izaguirre to not believe the federal government lies.”

Mr. Gertz said that the authorities have no idea about the number of people who have been recruited or disappeared on the farm. He said that the forensic team was still studying bone fragments to determine, which is the task of complicating them with its small size.

Several times on Tuesday, Mr. Gertroz mentioned the public that the investigation was continuing and that his office has only controlled the case since late March, when President Claudia Shinbom asked him to take responsibility.

After a group of volunteers looking for their missing relatives received advice in early March about a possible collective grave in western Mexico, pictures of piles of shoes and clothes were shocked by a country that was already shocked by many rings of brutal violence and secret graves.

More than 120,000 people have disappeared in Mexico since the country began following in 1962, according to official data. It has lost more than 15,000 in Galisco, with many cases that are believed to be associated with the new Gilgo Cartel Cartel.

Last month, Mr. Gertz criticized the investigation by the local authorities and said he was full of violations. Local officials failed to secure the site after its first place in September, and it was abandoned until the research group came last month.

On Tuesday, Mr. Gertz said that the state’s human rights committee in Gallisco told the local authorities in 2021 about the illegal activities on the farm, “but they did nothing.” Among the 14 people currently being detained regarding the case, Mr. GERTZ said that there are three local police officers, including the police chief, as well as the person set by the authorities as Cartel leader Those who supervised the training center.

“We will pursue those who were covering up or participating.” He also said that his office was investigating the other possible “Narco-Ranches” in the area.

Regarding the clothes that were found on the farm – but the local authorities did not study – Mr. Gertz said he did not know who they belong to. But he said that federal investigators intend to work with research groups to help identify the elements and then link them to their owners through forensic tests.
