The extortions continue. The members of an extortion gang demand more than S/ 50,000 from the manager of the “El Piuranito” transport companyso as not to threaten his life, the terminal and the buses.
For several weeks, the criminals have been sending messages to the general manager’s cell phone with photos of short- and long-range weapons, as well as explosives and videos where they threaten to kill them if they do not hand over the requested money. “Look…this message is for you and for the leader here, if you want to work in peace or your units want nothing to happen to them, as well as the other companies that we have encountered here, something practical, I want 50,000 soles to leave them in peace because here “Everyone pays and you are one of the people who are not paying here for something practical. Get online with us to give you security, as well as all the companies that we are providing security for,” says a message.

They add that, if they do not pay the requested money, they will throw explosives at the vehicles. “So you know, send him that message because this time it’s a flurry of messages that I’m sending them. Next time I’m going to go and we’re going to hit him car by car just as we’ve blown up the companies that are in Piura, yes.” If you stick to the tombos, you’re going to make your problem worse…next time I’m going to run into you and it’s not going to be 50,000, it’s going to go up to 100,000 soles, so align yourself with us.”
Given this, the manager resigned from her position. “For several weeks I have been receiving threats through various means…Today the threats were with more violent messages that violate my integrity and that of my children. These reasons make me take a step aside, because I will no longer put my life at risk. I recommend that from today the units be stored in secure garages and not on public roads because there are threats to the cars,” says his resignation.
