MEXICO: Total gang killings under-reported
A confidential government report on the number of people killed by
gangsters during the current administration of President Felipe Calderón
Hinojosa shows that the government knew that the local press has been
under-reporting gang killings by over 25%. The Mexico City press has been
keeping an official tally of gang killings since President Calderón launched his
war on organised crime when he took office on 1 December 2006 and has used a
figure of 18,000 for the number of people killed since the
inauguration.
