Murder of Businessmen in Villa de Reyes Linked to Criminal Group Operating in Jalisco
The investigation into the murder of two businessmen in Villa de Reyes has been linked to organized crime, ruling out political motives for their abduction.
The General Prosecutor's Office of San Luis Potosí is investigating the deaths of two businessmen found in Villa de Reyes as an incident related to organized crime. The police have confirmed that political activism is not a motive for their kidnapping. The agency received a report of their disappearance on Saturday and began tracking leads through security camera footage and the victims' phones.
Investigators were able to connect the recent abduction of the businessmen to a similar incident that occurred on February 1 in the same area. They identified the perpetrators as belonging to a criminal network based in Ojuelos, Jalisco, which operates within the Villa de Reyes region. This network is suspected of being involved in various criminal activities in the area, contributing to growing concerns over organized crime.
Authorities have confirmed that they are taking necessary legal steps to apprehend the suspects involved in this heinous act. The case highlights the ongoing challenges that law enforcement faces in dealing with organized crime in Mexico, particularly in regions where such groups exert significant influence over local communities and businesses, further endangering public safety and economic stability.
