“In case of requiring a team that does not have Mexico to be able to have information on some special investigation related to organized crime or other investigations. Even civil protection, also, the application is made within the collaboration frameworks so that there is a flight from the United States of equipment that is not available in Mexico.
“This was the case that the Secretary of Security raised yesterday, but it is at the request of the Government of Mexico, the loan application,” he said.
The presient commented that “it was not a not so secret flight” because it “saw perfectly in the application”, in which such flights can be monitored.
This August 13, the application detected the overflow of an unmanned aircraft belonging to the United States on Tejupilco, municipality of the State of Mexico, the place of influence of leaders of the criminal group La Nueva Michoacan Family (LNFM) dedicated mainly to extortion.
That organization was appointed in April as a terrorist group by Donald Trump’s government, as they are indicated for drug trafficking and violence.
The visible leaders of that group are Johnny Hurtado Olascoaga, “Fish”, and his brother José Alfredo Hurtado Olascoaga, “Strawberry.”
Sheinbaum explained that the team was operated by the CBP agency, as it is the owner. However, he stressed that the loan application includes requirements to guarantee “that it is exactly in the area where it is being requested, that there is permanent view of the Government of Mexico to what is being observed at that time and some other characteristics as part of collaboration and respect for sovereignty”.
“It is not something new, it is not that now it has been done for the first time, it has been done in previous years. In this case they are mainly CBP flights, from this United States agency,” he added.
