The Ministry of Foreign Relations (Mirex) reiterated yesterday that the Dominican Government will cover the costs of transferring the remains of the victims of the tragedy in Chiapas, Mexico, including reimbursement to the families who have paid for the services directly.
In a note, Mirex explained that in order to speed up the repatriation processes of their loved ones, six of the 11 families of the victims accessed the services offered by individuals; however, the remains will not be received until the Mexican Public Ministry completes its investigative work.
The Foreign Ministry reported that so far the remains of Juniel Mordán, Juan Alberto Soto Castillo and Ángel Lisandro Lugo García have arrived in the country.
While the bodies of Frantony Matos González, Rafelín Martínez Castillo and Reyni Guerrero Soto, are scheduled to arrive today. The rest of the bodies will arrive in the country next week.
It indicates that the three injured remain in recovery and two others remain missing.
He affirmed that the Vice Ministry for Consular and Migratory Affairs continues to work with the Mexican authorities to advance in the investigations of the event and in the processes for the transfer of the victims.
Mirex once again expressed its condolences to the families of the victims and called on the Dominicans not to undertake these dangerous journeys promoted by networks of criminal gangs.
