El Universal (Mexico City) 8/1/08
The following is a portion of an article headlined: “The plan of “La Familia” is to dominate the country.”
- The advance of La Familia (The Family”) the criminal group which already controls various portions of Michoacan and that currently enters into the state of Mexico and the Distrito Federal has - according to the PGR (Mex. Dep’t. of Justice) - one objective: to open and dominate a cocaine distribution and sales route which goes from Michoacan and reaches up to the north.
For the first time, the “PGR” reveals that it has proof and testimony that La Familia seeks to extend northward until it controls the whole country “and they have joined with Los Zetas in search of its objective and to strengthen itself against its enemies Los Valencia and to control completely in Michoacan.”
An analysis by the “PGR” indicates that the Michoacan origin crime group “grows every day”, and (the group) sets up safe houses at the places where it has arrived, refuges for members of the group who are provided with firearms, uniforms and vehicles, which causes them to be the group’s armed contingent, besides the fact that they also distribute drugs coming from Michoacan.
The criminal group, due to the violence employed, set up as its goal the eradication of the kidnappers and has made the collection of protection money one of its main sources of finance, as well as the assassination of its enemies, its “lethal weapon”, according to investigations of the Sub-Att’y. General’s Organized Crime Special Investigation Agency (”SIEDO”) of the “PGR.” Its main sources of income are drugs and protection.
- The “PGR’s” strategy in the fight against organized crime will be redefined by order of Pres. Calderon. The first measures were the dismissal and resignation of the head of “SIEDO”, Noe Ramirez, and of the chief of the investigations unit of “crimes against health”, Mario Arzave. Other dismissals and resignations are likely to follow. The shake-up was triggered by the failure to obtain results in some high profile cases such as that of Zhenli Ye Gon ( note: the man responsible for the smuggling into Mexico of huge amounts of meth chemical precursors and who had the hundreds of millions of dollars in his Mexico City house), or failing to identify the bosses of the criminal groups operating out of the Mexico City airport, which left a number of decapitations .
