An operation coordinated by the police and military in Mexico managed to rescue a US citizen: she had been kidnapped since February 2020 in safe houses belonging to organized crime in Sinaloa, said the Attorney General’s Office (FGR).
The Prosecutor’s Office detailed that the victim was found in “good health. ” However, it did not report whether the kidnappers asked relatives for ransom.
Citing official sources, the newspaper Milenio reported that it is an African-American woman who spent 13 months in safe houses, allegedly belonging to the Sinaloa Cartel, located in Culiacán.
Agents from the Secretary of the Navy (Semar) and the Federal Ministerial Police (PFM) found the victim in the first building they entered. The United States citizen was being watched by a subject identified as Óscar “G”, who is already in custody.
In the rescue, only one firearm shot was shot, the FGR revealed in a statement.
