Note: This story is ridiculous of so many levels. This man has been described as a Leader, Financial Officer, Sicarios chief etc. It would appear that authorities in Mexico feel they can say something "is", therefore it is. They wanted to tidy up the murders of the journalists. I ask what value do IDs of the dead have? and why would one be driving around with them in their vehicle? Or a top level person selling or delivering drugs out of his vehicle? It makes no sense. After reading the comments I felt compelled to state that I in no way buy this story. Paz, Chivis ![]()
