Authorities in the border state of Sonora were forced to change their story that extortion schemes were not a problem after new videos of cartel gunmen beating innocent victims surfaced recently.
The violence is allegedly the result of victims not paying the Sinaloa Cartel for the right to work.
Initially, the Sonora Attorney General’s Office tried to downplay the controversy caused by a video depicting cartel gunmen beating a taco vendor in Caborca. The city is a known drug corridor for the Sinaloa Cartel. In response to the controversy, the Sonora Attorney General’s Office posted on social media that they had spoken with the vendor and the incident was actually related to a customer who was refused service. In their post, authorities show the victim’s face who ultimately did not press charges.
