Culiacán, Sin.- Minutes before 6:00 a.m. narco-banners appeared all over Culiacán in which they allude that “There is no war in Sinaloa” and are signed with the initials ‘IAG’.
The banners have been placed in different parts of the city; one on the Negro bridge, on the railroad tracks, others on the bridges of Alvaro Obregón avenue, in the vicinity of the old seminary and one more on the La Platanera bridge.
BANNERS READ (TRANSLATED BY: SOL PRENDIDO)
Attention There is no war in Sinaloa. This is going to happen to all the thieves in Sinaloa so that they can feel what families feel when their homes are robbed and their privacy is invaded. We do not allow robbery, kidnapping, extortion, or fee collections here. You already know what the principles of the organization are, let it be clear. Relatives of people who are involved in these crimes should avoid having a bad time and report any act of this nature.
SINCERELY, IAG
On another banner that was also hung along with the message, photographs were placed of four men who were identified as “leaders of the group in charge of home robbery in Sinaloa”.
-Alberto ‘N’ as a presumed Active Ministerial Police in Sinaloa.
-Christian ‘N’ as an alleged member of the Attorney General’s Office.
-Eduardo ‘N’ alias “El Walo”.
-Oscar ‘N’.
These events took place after three high-impact events in Sinaloa in the past few days; first, a total of 66 people were deprived of their freedom in different towns and neighborhoods of Culiacán, where eight people, including two women, have yet to be released.
In addition, last Thursday, March 21, there was a confrontation in San José del Llano, Badiraguato, where three men were killed and two of them were decapitated.
And last Sunday, members of the National Guard were attacked by armed civilians, where one agent was killed and another was injured.
So far, no public security authority has made any statement regarding the appearance of these banners, or if any of the previous events are related to the same.
