According to the agency, the body of the compatriot was transferred on an Avianca airline flight. He also pointed out that the National Institute of Migration did not provide help for the transfer, “despite the fact that the case was classified as transporting undocumented immigrants and human trafficking and it only went through an administrative process without any resolution.”
To move the body of Pérez Quintero, his mother, Martha Lucy Quintero Romero, other relatives and friends raised more than 3,500 dollars. The national, who had two children, left Nicaragua with the intention of reaching the United States, however, he did not achieve his goal.
After achieving the repatriation, TNC thanked the Coahuila Prosecutor’s Office, the Directorate of High Impact Crimes and Crimes Committed in Migrant Offenses, since “they provided all the necessary help to carry out the recognition of the body and the express procedures for its repatriation”.
“We express our condolences to his mother, on the loss of her only son. There are no words of comfort in this situation. Heavenly Father give them a lot of strength and comfort to give her the last goodbye and give her a Christian burial, “concluded the body.
