| 2017-10-07 |
| [BREITBART] A group of button men presumably with the Gulf Cartel kidnapped and incinerated the son of a former Mexican congresswoman from this border state. A possible debt with the cartel appears to have been the reason for the kidnapping and murder. Law enforcement sources in Nuevo Leon revealed to Breitbart Texas that the case began when coppers in the town of Santa Catarina received a call about an incinerated man left in a rural field along the highway to Saltillo. When authorities arrived, they discovered the body of 38-year-old Victor Ibarra Martinez‐who has been identified in a preliminary fashion as the son of the former congresswoman Margarita Martinez. Authorities were not able to formally identify the body since the remains were badly burned. Nuevo Leon law enforcement sources revealed to Breitbart Texas that Ibarra Martinez was considered kidnapped since September 26. The son of the Mexican politician ran a bar in the Cumbres neighborhood of Monterrey prior to his kidnapping and one of the working theories points to a possible debt to organized crime. Another another scenario indicates the motive had been a kidnapping to pressure the victim’s mother to pay $5 million pesos ($270,000 USD). Next to the victim, the cartel button men left a poster board with the following message: "To the ex-congresswoman Margarita Martinez, from Escobedo: you preferred to let your son die rather than spend your money, Atte.
