No one knows how many people may have been killed at the Izaguirre ranch in Teuchitlan in the Jalisco region of Mexico. The ranch, used as a base by the Jalisco-Nuova Generacion cartel, may have been turned into a "death camp," with hundreds killed. A scenario that some sources have suggested, but about which the Prosecutor's Office remains cautious about giving details even though the investigation has just begun.
The story begins in September of last year. The police search the place, arrest several people and find the body of a man. One of the many operations in the country ravaged by drugs. Nothing special, unfortunately, given the daily violence. The judiciary must devote itself to other matters. But an association that follows the cases of the disappeared, Guerreros Buscadores, has returned to the farm to carry out more in-depth research. This was not a random move: the activists received reports, including one that the camp had existed for almost a decade. And so the excavations begin, which yield disturbing results. Several skeletal remains and a mountain of personal belongings have been found. Shoes, backpacks, pants, shirts. The hypothesis is that they belong to people who were kidnapped, killed and disappeared for reasons that we may never know.
Buscadores claim that criminals may have built "cream ovens" to burn the bodies, a fairly common way for gangsters to get rid of bodies. A thesis, for the moment, rejected by the Public Prosecutor's Office: they have not found elements that confirm its existence. However, investigators have published a very long list of personal belongings (over 400), with close-up photos, inviting relatives of the missing to observe them. The first attempt to identify or have confirmations/data.
Of course, there is much to understand. Do those artifacts really belong to the murdered individuals? Or did they end up there for other reasons? And why didn't the bandits burn them? They could burn them, removing all traces. How many victims could there be? Is it possible that in all these years no one noticed what was happening behind the walls of the farm? It is premature to draw final conclusions and to take stock only the scientific police will be able to give an answer.
The case, although awaiting clarification, reflects what is happening in many areas of Mexico. Cartels that move like paramilitary groups, with armored vehicles, drones, considerable resources. Able to create training sites for their collaborators, also helped by the inefficiency – sometimes malicious – on the part of the authorities, who should act with greater determination and professionalism when faced with specific complaints./ Corriere della Sera
