The case and investigation of the finding of three clandestine crematoriums in addition to bone remains, more than 200 pairs of shoes, hundreds of clothing and personal objects, found last week in the municipality of Teuchitlán, will be assumed by the Attorney General’s Office (FGR), the governor of Jalisco, Pablo Lemus, said Wednesday.
The state president said in a video on social networks that he agreed with the federal government to carry out joint actions and that he came into contact with the Secretary of the Interior, Rosa Icela Rodríguez, and with the Secretary of Security, Omar García Harfuch, who confirmed the decision.
“Security is the greatest challenge of the Mexican State, so it demands a priority response and attention, sustained and coordinated among all government orders,” Lemus said in the video.
He explained that in the case of Teuchitlán, the Army, the National Guard, the State Police, the State Prosecutor’s Office and the FGR work, and stressed that “the events did not happen in the government of President Claudia Sheinbaum or in my management” and pointed out that the crisis of disappearances in Mexico must be the priority of all governments.
He explained that in the investigation is the State Human Rights Commission and this day the National Search Commission (CNB) will arrive, under the Ministry of the Interior to initiate the investigations inside the Izaguirre Rancho.

“Regardless of whether the Attorney General’s Office has attracted the case, from Jalisco we will continue working together and putting all the provision for these facts to clarify, he said.
Last week, a missing search group found on the site, after an anonymous call, clandestine crematoriums in addition to bone remains and more than 500 indications, in what he called a “concentration and training field” of the narco.
On Tuesday, the head of the FGR, Alejandro Gertz Manero, described as “incredible” that local and state authorities had no knowledge of the graves and crematories found in Jalisco, and said the Prosecutor’s Office studied attracting the case.
He also described this finding as “a very critical issue”, which shows that “the serious problems of organized crime are not born from nothing: they are born and grow from local problems.”
