Mexican attorney general criticizes investigation of extermination camp linked to drug cartel
MEXICO CITY, MEXICO - MARCH 19: Mexican Attorney General Alejandro Gertz Manero revealed the prosecution's first report Wednesday on a mass burial site found in western Mexico, believed to have been operated as a mass murder and training center by a drug cartel.
The horrors at the "Izaguirre" ranch in Teuchitlan were uncovered March 5 by a group of searchers and organizations dedicated to looking for missing people in Mexico. Searchers found the remains of an unknown number of victims, hundreds of personal belongings and what appears to be incinerators used to burn the bodies of the victims of the cartel.
Searchers, journalists and human rights defenders have suspected the 10,000-square meter (2.5 acre) area was used by the New Generation Jalisco Cartel as a safe house where abduction victims were forcibly tortured to join the ranks of the cartel.
There are 200 people suspected to have been murdered at the site.
Manero criticized the investigation that state authorities from Jalisco have carried out since the discovery of the ranch.
