Government officials remain quiet about a new series of clandestine gravesites used by drug cartels that may hold as many as 170 bodies in the Mexican state of Colima. Local news outlets claim government officials refuse to discuss the findings, claiming electoral season restrictions.
The mass graves appear to have been made this week or in recent days. Due to the lack of information being released by authorities, the details of the case remain unknown. The mass graves were found by state and federal authorities in the municipality of Ixtlahuacan, Colima, Colima Noticias reported.
The U.S. Department of State currently labels the state of Colima as one that should be avoided due to widespread violence. The region has a strong presence of gunmen from Cartel Jalisco New Generation, as well as from smaller independent organizations.
According to Breitbart, crime scene technicians combed through the areas and gathered a significant number of bodies. However, government officials have not disclosed an exact figure. Multiple news outlets in Mexico, including Colima Noticias, Excelsior, and La Jornada, have cited government sources indicating that up to 170 bodies have been retrieved from various graves in that area. This finding of the gravesite could potentially be one of the largest in recent years.
Cartel mass graves have become increasingly common in several regions of Mexico. Cartels prefer this method because it doesn’t attract immediate attention over time, and government officials benefit from it because it doesn’t impact their homicide statistics. Typically, these incidents are recorded as cases of missing persons.
