For attempted extortion was suspended between Reds and Sharks games
Monday, April 28, 2014 13:38


In a radio interview the Mayor Francisco Jiménez Rodríguez explained that after an attempted extortion against three players from the Sharks team Puerto Peñasco, this weekend had agreed three games against Reds Caborca, directives of both teams decided to postpone the meetings Saturday and Sunday.

The Mayor ruled that it was a kidnapping as intentionally handling a media through social networks and that after a series of investigations players were found installed in a different hotel to which they were initially entertained but fortunately they were unharmed although quite nervous.

They explained that hours before had they received a series of threatening phone calls and you told them they had to pay an unspecified amount of money to be free, they and their families, no mishap, so in response to the signs of the unknown the first action was to buy a new cell phone to continue receiving their instructions and off and stay in different hotel.

Police officers with experience in such cases immediately realized that it was just another of the hundreds of calls for purposes of extortion that is most commonly performed in the states of Tamaulipas and Nuevo Leon so research will continue in that sense, while the players talked with who finally quieted.

Attentive to the situation directives teams and the Northern League of Sonora met to define the next steps regarding the sport finally deciding to postpone until further notice the games on Saturday and Sunday as both players were threatened by telephone as his companions were cranky by the situation emotionally.

The Mayor held a direct communication with the Mayor of Puerto Peñasco, Gerardo Figueroa, informing you of what was happening, as well as with parents involved to inform the players were safe.

It's not good to read that some of this kidnapping and extortion stuff has started here in Penasco. The first episode involving tourists will be a real bad one.

I have zero hope that the local police can and will do anything about it right now. Some of the Police are very active now extorting late night tourists on Calle 13. You even get taken to the Comandancia and pay the 'Judge" right there in the hallway or if it's closed you pay in the parking lot. Some have been threatened if they tell anyone about it. The big charge is 'Incorredct Parking', so beware. If anyone knows of other people having this experience recently drop me a PM.
