Michoacan family releases interrogation of man linked to extortion in Puebla (Video)

PUEBLA, Pue. (apro).- In a video posted on social media, a criminal group identifying itself as part of La Familia Michoacana interrogates a person who, hours later, was allegedly found executed and impaled, along with another man, near the 5 de Mayo Market in Puebla's historic center.

In the video, the person is kneeling while eight hooded men point long guns at him.

The victim claims to work for Federico López, alias "El Fede," known in Puebla as the leader of the Fuerza 2000 merchant organization.

The subject acknowledges that he has worked for five years as a collector for "El Fede," who allegedly controls the collection of taxes from merchants, as well as extortion and drug sales in the Historic Center of Puebla.

This recording is believed to be related to the discovery on Friday of two bodies lying on 16 Poniente and 3 Norte streets, where the 5 de Mayo Market is located, allegedly along with a message addressed to the leader of the Fuerza 2000 group.
