Monday, May 28, 2018


Mexican officials in the central state of Guanajuato say seven bodies have been found in the city of Salamanca and they appear to be members of a criminal organization.

Mexican state oil company Pemex operates a refinery in Salamanca. The town has become a hotbed for fuel theft in recent years, with criminal gangs allegedly pressuring refinery workers to help them steal gasoline.
