Three Italian citizens disappeared on 31 January, and a statement from relatives to the prosecutor's office was filed on 1 February. All three of the missing are natives of Italian Naples. Relatives of the Italians immediately believed that the local policemen could be involved in the disappearance, because, just before the very disappearance, the Italians reported by phone that they had been detained by a police patrol and demanded to follow them. After that, the connection was interrupted. The authorities of Jalisco first denied the data about the involvement in this police.
According to the prosecutor's office, the policemen involved in the kidnapping are already established. "The four alleged perpetrators were detained on suspicion of involvement in the disappearance of the Italians, they are members of the municipal police of Tekalitlana, who told that they handed over (Italians) to representatives of organized crime," the communique said.
Guilty faces from 40 to 60 years in prison.
Now the prosecutor's office continues to search for the missing foreigners with the involvement of search dogs.
