Ixtapaluca’s Mayor Released

Yes, our mayor has been released. Here’s the story from the Latin American Herald:

The Mexican Attorney General’s Office on Thursday said a mayor and congressional candidate arrested a month ago on suspicion of heading a kidnapping gang has been released without charges.

Mario Moreno Conrado, who heads the municipal government in Ixtapaluca, a city in the central state of Mexico, is running for Congress on the ticket of the leftist PRD party in this year’s mid-term elections.

Ixtapaluca makes the News

Jim News and current issues, Prayer and Praise 0

There certainly hasn’t been a lot of good news coming out of Mexico in the last few weeks, so it probably shouldn’t be a surprise that when Ixtapaluca makes the news, it’s not good.

Our Municipal President (ie the head guy in Ixtapaluca), Mario Moreno Conrado, was arrested yesterday outside of his home here in Ixtapaluca. He’s under investigation by SIEDO, an official organization that monitors organized crime. Though I haven’t heard official reports, it sounds like the arrest was made due to links with organized crime such as kidnappings and drug trafficking.

Just another reminder to pray for Mexico, the leadership here, and the church here.
