The Guatemalan Foreign Ministry is waiting for the information that Mexican authorities can transfer to determine whether there are nationals in the clandestine graves located in a farm in Jalisco, Mexico.
On March 5, the Jalisco Guerreros Search Man collective found three clandestine crematoriums, in addition to carbonized and crushed bone remains, hundreds of shoes and clothing on a site in the municipality of Teuchitlán, Jalisco, west of Mexico. It is presumed that the place is linked to one of the drug trafficking cartels.
On the part of the Communication Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it was reported that, for now, there is no information about the discovery of remains of Guatemalans in that place and that they are waiting for Mexican authorities to inform the Consulate of Guatemala in that country. However, they consider that it will be a slow process, because forensics must analyze the located indications.
The finding was informed by the collective through social networks. “This is part of the Izaguirre farm in Teuchitlán, Jalisco, where the recruitment concentration camp of young people is located, most of the central, and three crematoriums are located with burned bones. They are missing to uncover -fosas-, -There are packets, chargers, caps,” he said.
In the last hours it has transpired that the ranch served as training headquarters for members of a drug trafficking cartel, which has caused outrage and demands for the government to act.
The drama of the disappeared in Mexico, which is aggravated between impotent victims and investigations without results, resurfaces strongly after the discovery of burned bones in a place where drug traffickers trained people allegedly recruited by force, according to what witnesses have indicated to the prosecution of that country.
At the end of January, Jalisco Security Forces located a camp in Teuchitlán, where they rescued 38 people, 36 of them held by hitmen from the Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartel (CJNG).
Jalisco is the State of Mexico with the largest number of missing persons, with more than 15 thousand cases registered between December 2018 and September 2024, according to data from the state government and the state registry of missing persons.
