The arrest of a criminal cell of the Jalisco Nueva Generación cartel (CJNG) led the Attorney General of the State of Mexico (FGJEM) to encounter a bloody scene on the border of the municipality of Ocoyoacac with Lerma.

The human remains found in at least 60 packages were found following the arrest of seven members of the criminal cell that operates in the Toluca Valley.
It was on February 10 that Mexican authorities reported that nine clandestine graves containing 68 packages with human remains and a complete corpse.

The place, where the suspected hitmen are said to have been, is rented out as a nursing home, according to local media.
Apparently the victims were doing drug trafficking work and had refused to work for the CJNG cell, for which the hitmen had decided to end their lives. “The hypothesis we have is that in fact they were drug traffickers, they had small pharmacies,” prosecutor Cervantes explained in a press interview.
“Based on the first findings of the interdisciplinary group we have there, we can conclude that it is 14 bodies is 13 male bodies and one female bodywere the prosecutor’s words.
According to initial assumptions, CJNG’s offer would have been increase your control in the area. Both the “invitation” and the retaliation against those who refuse to be part of the four-letter cartel is a operating mode frequent, the official said.

“The way these organizations act is to act against those who do not align with their way of operating. They invite them and when they do not receive a satisfactory response to their interests, they eliminate themThat’s what they do.”
Although a preliminary number of bodies that had been buried in the clandestine graves have been identified, the genetic matching work has not yet been completed, so it has not been possible to know the identity of the victims.
“We have also found the location where they were deprived of their lives, but we still don’t have the genetic match or the genetic profiles and The date of death is still unknown.added Cervantes Martínez.
On the same February 13, when the Public Prosecutor’s Office announced the first progress of the investigation concerning the nine graves discovered in recent days, the location of a tenth narco-pit in Ocoyoacac.
This was located in Paraje Chirinos, on the border between the municipalities of Ocoyoacac and Lerma. At this time, it is not known whether human remains have also been located at the site, as research work has not been completed.
Similarly, no information has been provided to confirm whether this latest discovery is linked to the investigation that led the FGJEM to locate the nine other clandestine graves.
On January 13, 2023, the Edomex prosecution coordinated an operation that led to the discovery of a drug grave hidden under a warehouse that served as a party room at Tenango Valley.
Authorities had to use weighing machines to uncover the earth and reach the hidden bags. Until January 25, only one of the 12 bodies who were there had been identified.
“Preliminary indications we have of the bodies we found recently, they are presumed to be members of rival gangs (of the CJNG) that they, with these methods, intended to move, however, I cannot guarantee that this is the case, everything indicates that it is, due to the characteristics of even two of them that we we already have indications in this regard, “said the prosecutor in this regard.
