Police detention in Chetumal for alleged forced disappearanc

Overview

In Chetumal, Quintana Roo, four police officers have been detained following the alleged forced disappearance of three young men on August 29. The suspects include three municipal officers from Othón P. Blanco and one officer from the State Secretariat of Citizen Security.

Investigations by the State Attorney General's Office suggest the officers intercepted one victim and handed them over to a criminal group. While two victims were released that night, a third was found on August 31 with physical injuries. All three victims are reported to be out of danger. The detained officers face charges of forced disappearance, abuse of authority, and vehicle theft, with State Attorney General Raciel López Salazar noting that those found responsible could face over 50 years in prison.
