A video released by Jalisco state investigators this week demonstrates the reach of criminal organizations inside Mexico’s security forces.

The closed-circuit video shows municipal police officers in Lagos de Moreno “arresting” three men at a local hotel in January of this year.   The badly beaten bodies of the men were discovered hours later in a pick-up in another part of the town.

A camera outside the hotel taped officers escorting the men from the building and bundling them into a police truck. Non-uniformed civilians are then seen carrying bags belonging to the men out of the hotel. Another civilian then drives away a pick-up in which the bodies of the men were later found.
