Last week, Claudia Zulema Sánchez Kondo, attorney general of the state of Sinaloa, revealed that 31 inmates from four rehabilitation centers in Mazatlán were recruited by armed groups.
The official pointed out that after the investigative police base of the State Prosecutor’s Office visited five rehabilitation centers in Mazatlán, the count was made:
16 people were recruited in a first rehabilitation center; another four in a second center; another 10 in one more center and another person in another annex, giving a total of 31 people who said, “they left voluntarily.”
Despite this, Sánchez Kondo specified that the Prosecutor’s Office has already opened an investigation informally for alleged deprivation of personal liberty.
“Derived from the interviews that have been carried out with the families of these people who have communicated with them since yesterday, they have stated that they left voluntarily… it was not forced, they showed up at the annexes and were invited to join and the people who decided to leave left,” he said.
“We have two reports from two mothers of two people who left the annexes, we still do not have the complaints, but we are working on it informally,” he added.
