The Mexican cartel was accused of being accused of housing a ranch's popular “extinct” site. The attorney general called for an investigation into how he had been hiding possible links between the gang and the local government for several months.
The suspects of a new generation of Jalisco members released a series of new videos earlier this week denounced grieving families searching for traces of their missing loved ones at Izagir Ranch, where officials discovered human remains and cremation ovens.
Eight cartel groups designated by the US as foreign terrorist organizations last month also questioned the motives of desperate families who made tough discoveries on farms that served as training grounds for gangs.
Members of the Jalisco Search Warriors who helped discover the site said she was appalled at the cartel's desperate move to beat the group's work.
“It's anger that they try to taint our names,” said the woman who remained anonymous about her safety concerns.
“They wash their hands of what they create,” she added.
The horrors of mass murder from the ranch exploded over the weekend, when authorities found sober evidence that included cremation ovens, bone fragments, hundreds of pairs of shoes, clothing, and even children's toys, including 100 shell cases.
Mexican Attorney General Alejandro Ghatz Manelo is now ordering an investigation into the site after it was revealed that the Mexican National Guard had wiped out the ranch last September.
The attack arrested 10 people, and police found two hostages and the bodies of the victim wrapped in plastic bags.
However, Manelo said the Jalisco prosecutor's office did not conduct due diligence when it dealt with the case, and the investigator is completely lacking the cartel group's connections between the signs pointing to the cremation oven and the ranch.
The Attorney General also pointed out that investigators did not arrest any of the local officials linked to emergency misconduct at the ranch.
Despite the National Guard being involved in the attack, Manelo described the failed investigation as the state prosecutor's office blame.
Federal officials also sought investigators to fully determine whether the ranch was used as a cartel crematorium or training camp.
Jalisco State Gov. Pablo Lemus said his office is fully cooperating with federal agents as his administration denied allegations that he was “trying to wash his hands” in the case.
The discovery at the ranch, located about 37 miles west of Guadalajara, raised fears that some of Mexico's 120,000 “forcedly vanished” people may have been killed and cremated by the cartel.
