Executions continue in Tabasco: body found in bag; government attributes violence to dispute between criminal groups

In Tabasco, Mexico, authorities reported another violent incident after discovering a body bagged in a cornfield along the federal highway between Cárdenas and Coatzacoalcos. The corpse was found by farmworkers who noticed a black plastic bag and identified the victim’s face, though their gender remains unknown. Military personnel, municipal police, and state prosecutors were deployed to secure the area and investigate the scene. The discovery adds to a recent surge in violence attributed to clashes between rival criminal groups, specifically the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) and 'La Barredora.' According to the state secretary of government, José Ramiro López Obrador, these attacks are part of an ongoing conflict over territory between organized crime factions, with over 1,500 members of organized crime arrested under this administration.
