Authorities in Central Mexico arrested three of their own investigators and are searching for more officials tied to a kidnapping and extortion operation. At least nine arrest warrants have been obtained in connection with the case over the past weekend.
The Mexico State Attorney General’s Office announced the arrest of three investigators who they identify as the leaders of an illegal organization.
The group, which was made up of state police officers and members of the state AGs office, allegedly operated in the Toluca Valley where they would carry out “express kidnappings.” The term is commonly used to describe where captors force the victim to withdraw as much money possible from ATMs in trade for a quick release.
