Ciudadano de California se declara culpable por red de tráfico de migrantes que exigía rescates en México
El acusado admitió que cobraba pagos de familiares de migrantes retenidos contra su voluntad en Tijuana como parte de una organización de tráfico de personas
SAN DIEGO, California. Un estadounidense se declara culpable de participar en una organización de tráfico de migrantes que retenía a personas contra su voluntad en México mientras exigía pagos de rescate a sus familiares para liberarlas.
De acuerdo con autoridades federales, Isaac Jimenez admitió ante un tribunal federal su participación en una conspiración dedicada al tráfico de personas.
En la que migrantes que pretendían ingresar de manera ilegal a Estados Unidos eran secuestrados en Tijuana, Baja California, en lugar de ser trasladados al otro lado de la frontera.
La investigación fue encabezada por Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) como parte de la Operation Take Back America, una estrategia federal para combatir el tráfico de personas, la inmigración ilegal y las organizaciones criminales transnacionales.
Tráfico de migrantes California: cobraba rescates a familiares
Según la declaración de culpabilidad, Jimenez no mantenía cautivos personalmente a los migrantes.
Sin embargo, aceptó que colaboró con los integrantes de la organización criminal sabiendo que las víctimas permanecían retenidas contra su voluntad.
Todo esto ocurría mientras sus familiares eran obligados a pagar miles de dólares para lograr su liberación.
Las autoridades señalaron que el acusado recibió decenas de miles de dólares provenientes de esos pagos de rescate.
Pagará restitución a las familias de las víctimas
Como parte del acuerdo con la Fiscalía, Isaac Jimenez aceptó pagar 24 mil 500 dólares a familiares de migrantes desaparecidos.
El dinero será destinado a cubrir gastos funerarios, costos relacionados con las víctimas y parte del dinero que las familias entregaron a la organización criminal como rescate.
Las autoridades no revelaron el número de migrantes afectados por esta red de tráfico de personas.
HSI destaca combate a organizaciones criminales
El director ejecutivo interino de Homeland Security Investigations, John Condon, afirmó que este tipo de organizaciones obtienen ganancias mediante el sufrimiento de personas vulnerables.
