In Mexico, the drug mafia quit an open call to the local police, exterminating senior law enforcement officials almost daily. The mafiosi even threw the “shot list” of future victims, some of which have already been killed.
Last Saturday, the killers shot a senior policeman in one of the border Mexican cities. The deceased Juan Antonio Roman Garcia was considered man number two in the police structures of the city of Syudad Hoires in Chiuaua, the Associated Press reports.
And in the previous two days, the killers dealt with the chief of the federal police and the head of the police investigation department. Both killings were committed in the capital of Mexico, reports CNN .
Garcia's car was riddled by attackers near his house. Garcia himself died on the spot.
It is noteworthy that the deceased almost headed the “shot list” of the enemies of the mafia, which was discovered at the foot of the monument to dead police officers a few months ago. To date, several people have already been killed from this list. But so far the police were not able to go on a trace of criminals.
The murder of Garcia was the last crime in a series of attacks on police officers related to the lead of the spheres of influence between the various clans of the Mexican drug mafia. So, last Thursday, in one of the cities in the north of the country, the son of the probable leader of the drug cartel in the staff of Sinaloa Joaquin Gusman was killed in a shootout.
In addition, drug lords avenge the Mexican authorities with such murders to strengthen the fight against drug trafficking.
“His death mourns the whole city, because he was an exemplary official with an impeccable reputation for 20 years of service,” said the mayor of Susehuarez Jose Reyes Ferris about Garcia.
Note that one of the largest underground channels for the supply of drugs from Mexico to the United States passes through the city of Syudad-Huarez. Since the beginning of the year, more than 200 people have died in this city alone in criminal wars. The input of the additional contingent of troops and police from 2.5 thousand people did not help the fight against drug mafia and the introduction to Chiuaaa.
The real criminal war is not only on the outskirts of the country, where the positions of drug mafia are traditionally strong.
Last Thursday, simultaneously with the murder of Gusman Jr., a group of armed people shot the chief of the federal police of Mexico Edgar Milian Gomez in Mexico City. Following this on May 9 in the capital of Mexico, the head of the investigative department of the Mexico City Police Esteban Rodban Espinosis was killed.
The criminals awaited Espinosis at 8:30 in the morning at his house. The policeman received eight bullet wounds and died in the hospital.
Shortly before this, as a result of the attempt, the head of the police department to combat organized crime, Roberto Velasco Bravo, died.
The hunting for the highest officials of the police began after the President of Mexico Felipe Calderon declared the war on the drug mafia and detained 25 thousand soldiers elected in 2006.
"Organized crime has taken up the police, since their huge financial interests got into the center of attention of law enforcement," RIA Novosti , the words of the Minister of Security of Mexico Genaria Garcia Luna.
The most criminogenic states of Mexico are Sinaloa, Herrero and Chiuaaa.
Since the beginning of 2008, more than 2.5 thousand people have died at the entire territory of Mexico at the hands of killers.
