The Secretary of the Government of Querétaro, Guadalupe Murguía, announced that 19 of the 26 people who were hospitalized following the violent events in the Corregidora Stadium the night of March 5 they were already dischargedaccording to the latest health report.
Most of the injured (15 in total) came from Jalisco; the rest were originally from Querétaro and the State of Mexico. However, they have not been able to find out the origin of 4 fans who were also injured. One of the internees is in a very delicate state and another 4 were reported seriously with traumatic brain injurycommented Murguía for Radio image.
“19 of the 26 people who were hospitalized are already discharged. We will continue to support the injured and their families, and advance in the investigation to find those responsible, both by action and by omission”
The rest of the patients are hospitalized with non-serious injuries. Likewise, the secretary reiterated that there are no reports of deceased personsas it began to be rumored at first, just as there are no records of missing persons, as the mayor of Querétaro, Luis Nava, and that of Guadalajara, Pablo Lemus, have reiterated.
He also acknowledged that the security elements did not act as promptly as the situation warranted, for which the permit to the private security company that provided the services was canceled. This was reported by the Secretary of Security of Querétaro, Miguel Ángel Contreras.
“It must be said, the private security company did not bring all the elements that it had to carry to comply with the security of the event,” the secretary commented at a press conference. Due to the foregoing, the government of Querétaro made the decision to break relations with the company GES K9, hired by the Querétaro Club and in charge of security at the Corregidora Stadium.
Also, as part of the measures taken in this regard, 5 public servants in charge of the operation and security coordination were suspended during the meeting between Querétaro and Atlas for not complying with the corresponding protocols.
They are Leonardo Flores Mata, director of the Police Operation; Isaac Pérez Infante, in charge of the Field Unit; Agustín Martínez Ortíz, police officer; Carlos Mendoza Martínez, coordinator of Events and commissioner for the party, and Carlos Alberto Toscano Mendoza, responsible for the Risk Management Area of the State Civil Protection Coordination.
For its part, the Querétaro State Attorney General’s Office (FGE) indicated that the investigation folder CI/QRO/6605/2022 was opened, through which it will seek to find those allegedly responsible for the following crimes: “attempted homicide”, “violence in sports events”, “possible apology for crime”, “criminal association” and “crimes committed by public servants”.
On the other hand, on Sunday, March 6, Secretary Murguía had indicated that it was too early to make “speculations” regarding whether there were alleged members of organized crime in the bars, who possibly had participated in the brawl on Saturday, March 5.
However, this Monday, March 7, the governor of Jalisco, Enrique Alfaro, commented that what happened at the Corregidora Stadium “was not a normal fight between batons”but it gave the impression that there might be “other things behind”although he did not assure that it was an ambush.
So far, the Querétaro Attorney General’s Office has not made any arrests; However, Alfaro stated at a press conference that, according to the information provided by the governor of Querétaro, Mauricio Kuri, the first arrests would be made in the next few hours, since all the information was already available to find the responsible.
