The discovery of thirteen bodies in a gold mine in Peru's Pataz province underscores the severe violence associated with illegal mining. The victims, who included miners and security guards, were abducted and found tied up, raising concerns about collusion between illegal miners and organized crime. Despite a state of emergency and police presence, violence has surged in the area. Peru's interior ministry has sent organized crime investigators to examine the situation, indicating a serious commitment to restoring order amidst deteriorating security conditions.
This morning, after intense search efforts, the police rescue team was able to recover the bodies of the 13 workers who were kidnapped (...) by illegal miners in collusion with criminal elements.
The spiral of uncontrolled violence in Pataz is occurring despite the declaration of a state of emergency and the presence of a large police contingent which, unfortunately, has not been able to halt the deterioration of security conditions in the area.
