“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat
An audio message is circulating online for the Grúas El Mezquite tow truck business in the city of Manzanillo. The towing service is allegedly being threatened by the Cartel de Sinaloa.
Video translation is as follows:
This communique is from the Cartel de Sinaloa.
The following message is addressed to all those who work at the Grúas El Mesquite business. As well as to the citizens who use their services. As of today, we invite you not to use their services or work with them anymore. With that being said we don’t want to hear you crying afterwards or saying that innocent people died here.
Don’t forget that we always keep our promises. And he who warns in advance isn’t a traitor either. Grúas El Mesquite, your employees are soon going to die. So, you might as well let them know. Do you remember how you hung up on us at 2:46 a.m. today, Tuesday? Well , we’re going to see if you’re going to withstand what’s coming.
We’re warning you to stop bothering and participating in the operations against the motorcycle cabs. You don’t only provide a local service but you also arbitrarily charge prices that you impose. Enough with this abuse, getting rich with the people’s money, and also the cash charges that you don’t keep a record of.
You know very well that you don’t pay taxes to the government. And this leaves you in a position of neglectful profitability. Remember when Karla didn’t pay attention to our messages. Just the same we will also come after you. It might not be right now, or it could be later. Nonetheless, it shouldn’t be too hard for you to understand what I mean by this.
Let the festivities begin. Our evil legions will be at the forefront on this matter.
Yours truly, Cartel de Sinaloa and it’s evil legions
