A growing chorus of opposition party officials are demanding that Matamoros Mayor Leticia Salazar and her Social Development Director Luis Alfredo Biasi step down until the investigation into the deaths of four U.S. citizens and a Mexican national at the hands of a paramilitary group formed by her is concluded.Salazar and Biasi are members of the opposition PAN political party. They announced the formation of the Grupo Hercules early September as the mayor's personal guard and security paramilitary group to protect the citizens of Matamoros against kidnappings and violence from armed groups.
Jorge Valdez, a state representative for the PRD and president of the Tamaulipas Commission on Public Safety, demanded that the mayor and Biasi be relieved of their duties so as not to hinder the ongoing investigation into the kidnapping and homicide of the three siblings and the girl's boyfriend.Erica, Alex and Jose Angel Alvarado Rivera.
The siblings are American citizens from Progreso, Texas who were visiting their father in El Control when they were reportedly kidnapped from a roadside carne asada stand by members of the Grupo Hercules and possibly Mexican marines.
Their bodies were found some 10 days later in a vacant lot between El Control and Matamoros. Their parents recovered their two vehicles from an impound lot owned by Biasi.State police say that the four were tortured and murdered the same day theyr were kidnapped, Oct. 13. They were found about two weeks later in an advanced state of decomposition.
The deaths of the U.S. citizens sparked an investigation by the Tamaulipas Attorney General, the FBI and the Mexican Commission of Human Rights. At least none members of the Grupo Hercules have been questioned on the matter.
In a nationally televised interview, Salazar denied she had formed the Grupo Hercules, only to be shown an interview where she claims she was the moving force to establish the paramilitary group.
According to the parents of the three U.S. citizens, eyewitnesses say they saw the official vehicles belonging to the Grupo Hercules participating in the initial arrest of the victims.

LIKE I POSTED PREVIOUSLY...SHE REMINDS ME OF THE 'MURDERING BITCH' LA REYNA DEL SUR. SHE NEEDS TO GO...THE MURDERING BITCH WILL CONTINUE ON MURDERING AMERICAN CITIZENS...HER AND HER GROUP ARE ANTI-AMERICAN.
The mayor of Matamoros fails to lead by rejecting cooperation with federal officials solely because they are from the PRI party. She hasn't accepted that her own PAN party lost the election and makes Matamorans pay for this. She has poisoned the well in favor of self-serving municipal power. She could have been a great Party leader nationally where Vasquez Mota left off after losing Mexico's presidential election. Now she runs for cover.
Everyone knows that Biasi and Leticia are involved in a romantic relationship. The reason she has so much balls to do what shes been doing is because he is backing her up. No one will mess with her because of him.
Good material for a Telenovela. Romance and political intrigue.
