“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat
Local media in Quintana Roo reported the kidnapping and subsequent release of the presiding magistrate of the Electoral Tribunal of Quintana Roo, Sergio Aviles Demeneghi.
Sergio Avilés Demeneghi, president magistrate of the Electoral Tribunal of Quintana Roo, was “abducted” by a group of armed people at the door of his home. The video was released on social networks, which unleashed alarms due to the growing wave of insecurity in this tourist destination.
In the video you can see how Avilés Demeneghi arrives at his home located in Chetumal, on Tecnológico de Veracruz street aboard his truck. While he is getting some things out of his vehicle, another car pulls up and a couple of subjects get out of it. When Avilés Demeneghi realized that he could be a victim of a crime, he tried to flee, but was caught by the other individuals.
A second vehicle arrives at the place from where another subject gets out and takes something from the magistrate’s truck. Subsequently, he gets into the vehicle in which he arrived and both units that participated in the “abduction” disappear from the view of the security camera.
In spite of this, two hours later the official was released, showing bruises.
So far the authorities have not given their version of events.
