“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat

For the third time this week another violent video has surfaced from the state of Tabasco. For this broadcast, an unknown armed criminal cell appears on film in the dead of night. Front and center before the gunmen is a captive male on his knees. 

The removal of his head is underway while the armed mob is being filmed and a narrator threatens his adversaries. 

Every town mentioned on film or shown on the maps at the bottom are all within a short travel distance from the city of Villahermosa. 

It was from this town where the recent chain of events kicked off within the local underworld. In addition, the names of the persons mentioned are alleged to be in allegiance with the La Barredora crime mob. 

Video translation is as follows:

For all those filthy individuals who are in bed with the district attorney. El Mariachi, El Ministerial, and Altos, active duty agent for the Ministerial Police. Mr. Prosecutor, your employees are getting involved in different areas of crime. 

They’re extorting and kidnapping citizens. There is evidence that they’re doing this with your permission. This is what citizens from the towns of Macuspana and Jalapa mentioned. And if we capture them committing evil deeds we will fucking destroy them. 

They’re gathering in Huimanguillo and Cunduacán to give the municipal policemen support. The operatives from the Cartel del Aeropuerto and Irasema need to straighten out their men. Otherwise, we’re going to fucking kill them.
