The Secretary General of one of Mexico’s leading political parties on Monday accused Colombia’s former Police chief of having connections with Mexican paramilitary groups.
Democratic Revolution Party (PRD) Secretary General Alejandro Sanchez Camacho has called for an investigation into General Oscar Naranjo’s suspected involvement with armed self-defense groups in the state of Michoacan.
Naranjo was brought in by President Enrique Peña in 2012 as his security adviser in Mexico after being one of Colombia’s most praised security officials.
The state of Michoacan has seen an alarming rise of armed self-defense/vigilante groups. These groups are made up from a variety of citizens that, in the absence of state presence, aim to combat the terror waged by local drug cartels.
