Monterrey, Nuevo Leon .- After a series of reports of telephone extortion, the Secretariat of State Security reported that it detected a cell number that accumulates at least 39 recent complaints to 911 for threats from an alleged criminal group. From the number 811-414- 5430 criminals are dedicated to calling users by phone assuring that they belong to a criminal organization.” They have been calling me to extort money from me and warn that a group has arrived here in the municipality of Juárez,” revealed one of those affected, who preferred not to be identified. They are insisting a lot,” he added. “I have filed my complaint with the Ministry of Public Security and they tell me that they already have complaints.” In addition to the number ending 5430, he said, the extortionists used 812-186-4424, 812 186-3275 and 814-774-7630.In an attempt to contact those numbers, the call does not link and the legend “User not available” appears. A case of a new form of telephone extortion was documented by EL NORTE on July 8, after on behalf of Governor Samuel García, an alleged head of the Jalisco Cartel offered “protection” against thieves and armed commandos in exchange for a one-time payment of $2,000. On May 24, the former Secretary of Security, Aldo Fasci, who left his position due to health problems, admitted that complaints of telephone extortion have been increasing in the State as in the Country.
He said that 90 percent of extortion is committed by inmates who are imprisoned in prisons in other states, so it is difficult to find criminals.
