Cancun authorities rescued five Cubans who were tortured and on whom an execution order was allegedly pending for a criminal gang dedicated to human trafficking.
The Cubans were found last Thursday in Superblock 64 in Cancun, after being taken to that place by a criminal gang that apparently I asked them for more money than agreed to transfer them to the northern border of Mexico, as revealed by the news portal Change 22.
The rescue occurred after calls to 911 that warned of the kidnapping.
The Cubans had arrived on Mexican shores in a homemade boat and were then taken to a safe house in the North Branch, near the tenth military garrison of the Mexican National Guard.
Eight days after being held in that place, they were taken to Superblock 64, behind the Auto Zoom in Benito Juárez, Cancún.
A Cuban woman was taken to the hospital with her buttocks and legs injured due to severe blows with boards and a pipe, according to her own testimony to the authorities.
The Quintana Roo Prosecutor's Office began an investigation to gather more information about the crime.
In recent months, Mexican authorities rescued a cuban migrant who was part of a group of 50 undocumented immigrants who were kidnapped in Matehuala, San Luis Potosí, while traveling on a bus from Chiapas.
It also emerged that the Sonora Attorney General's Office rescued other Cuban migrants who were kidnapped in the municipality of San Luis Río Colorado, in that border state in northern Mexico.
The Cubans were part of a group of 113 undocumented immigrants who were extorted and kidnapped by five people who kept them captive in a house in the El Mezquite neighborhood.
