Authorities find alleged CJNG medical site
El Imparcial reports that Jalisco authorities found a clandestine medical rehabilitation site in Tecalitlán, rescued eight people and detained six alleged custodians.
El Imparcial reports that the Jalisco State Prosecutor’s Office located a property in Tecalitlán that authorities describe as a clandestine shelter and medical rehabilitation center for people recruited by organized crime. The report says the discovery followed the search for a young man who had told his family he was going to work at a ranch and was later reported missing. El Imparcial cites an account from Reforma saying authorities rescued eight people held at the property and detained six alleged custodians.
According to the report, the site was used to care for recruits who had been injured during the group’s operations and needed physical recovery. State prosecutor Salvador González said the investigation is moving forward to establish possible criminal responsibility and to trace medical personnel who may have been involved, the source reports. The article presents the link to the CJNG and the descriptions of the detainees’ roles as reported claims; it does not describe a court finding.
El Imparcial says the operation involved the state prosecutor’s missing-persons unit, the National Guard and Mexico’s Defense Secretariat. The source describes improvised beds on the floor and religious figures in the rooms, and identifies the location as a facility associated with organized-crime recruits. The report does not provide the names of the six detained people or state whether prosecutors have filed charges against them.
