translated from Spanish: Investigate official and doctors involved in funeral ‘coyotes’ network

Mexico City’s head of government, Claudia Sheinbaum, reported that at least one official of the capital government is being investigated, as well as private doctors involved in a network of “coyotes” dedicated to the trafficking of death certificates.
“The report I have from the Ministry of Health is that given these operations that were made to end the co-commenting and collection of these records to different people, there were some private doctors, who were involved in this collection of the service,” he said.
Animal Politics disclosed that “managers” traffic death certificates in which they register atypical pneumonia as a cause of death, which could affect the official count of deaths by COVID-19.
At a press conference, the official said the prosecution did the right thing in filing the complaint to the MP and the Comptroller itself, in the case of a person who is likely to be involved within the City Government.
The representative indicated that some of the information arose from the operatives against “coyotes” carried out by the Secretariat of Citizen Security (SSC) in conjunction with the Secretariat of Government and the Legal Ministry, responsible for the Public Registry.
Just on May 22, the Ministry of Citizen Security (SSC) arrested suspected members of a network of “coyotes” dedicated to the trafficking of death certificates and apocryphal documentation in civil courts and drug distribution.
