Mexico’s National Human Rights Commission (CNDH) received two human rights complaints following the security operation in Tláhuac that saw the death of Felipe de Jesús Pérez, aka “El Ojos,” informed the commission’s president Raúl González Pérez.
One of the complaints was submitted by Pérez’s family in an attempt to claim his body, explained González Pérez, adding that “we’ve taken the necessary measures to speed up the paperwork so the body will be delivered to Pérez’s family.”
The second complaint came from a man who claimed someone broke into his house.
González Pérez later referred to an ongoing investigation pertaining Tláhuac’s borough chief Rigoberto Salgado Vázquez’s links to organized crime. “I would rather not speculate at all,” he stated. “It is up to police investigators to determine anyone’s level of involvement in this matter, as long as the truth arrises from solid, comparable and credible information and of evidence that remains within the boundaries of the law,” he added.
