| Google Translate. Information compiled from both English and Spanish language sources. For a map, click here The Michoacan based Mexican drug cartel La Familia has offered a one month truce, according to several online news sources. An email was received Sunday by various news agencies claiming the Mexican Policia Federal has been lying to the public about its activities in Michoacan, that it disclaims all criminal acts that have taken place in December that were not instigated by Federal agents and that it would continue its withdraw from criminal acts starting January, 2011. Mexican Policia Federal officials said two days ago that La Familia was out of money and on the verge of collapse due to two recent operations that killed one leader and captured another. Hence the offer of a truce -- please stop killing us! The letter stated that the offer was intended to demonstrate the criminal gang was not responsible for criminal acts undertaken in December, and their involvement would be apparent in the coming month. Associated Press reports that the letter has not been confirmed as coming from the criminal cartel. Was it on their letterhead? |
