A chilling video has emerged of a Mexican drug cartel interrogating a bloodied police officer before he was chopped up and scattered across different parts of a city.
Hitmen from the Santa Rosa de Lima Cartel, a relatively small trafficking organisation with influence in the Mexican state of Guanajuato, were seen grilling the cop over his ties to a rival group, the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG).
In the clip, translated by Borderland Beat, he identifies himself as a federal officer who hands over "rent" (a cartel bribe) to more senior officers.
When asked how he is involved, he says: "I work for them [the CJNG]. We move the patrol vehicles so that others can come through easily." He also identifies himself as the person who collects "extortions" and passes them to "the Secretary and Director", admitting that he hands over roughly one million pesos (£41,890) to his superiors every month.
