Francisco Rivas, director of the Observatory, informed in press conference that Iztapalapa is the demarcation that concentrates the greater number of folders of investigation, with 249.

“Drug dealing is a crime that worries us deeply; where the drug trade begins to take root, the other crimes grow.

“Mexico City has pointed out many times that there are no drug cartels here, they have referred to gangs, but to me it seems a semantic, useless and sterile discussion; What we can not allow is that there are these bands that continue to affect society, “he said.

Rivas commented that there are new proposals from the incoming government, but pointed out that these should be accompanied by other policies so that they can achieve a reduction in crime.

Regarding intentional homicide, the list is headed by the Iztacalco delegation with an increase of 303.7 percent; followed by Tlalpan with a 6.8 percent increase and Iztapalapa with 32.4 percent; However, the latter is the one with the largest number of research files, with 82.

“Apart from the increase in the number of cases attended and the decrease in crime, it means that it is doing well. But we must replicate it, especially in robberies with violence and particularly homicide and drug dealing, “said Francisco Rivas.

The robbery of  house/room increased in Milpa Alta in 99.6 percent and the 205 investigation folders were registered again in Iztapalapa.

” It seems that in the country and in Mexico City we continue to break negative records and this time the homicide this quarter exceeds all the quarters “

The robbery of the  passerby remained at the same levels, but Azcapotzalco continues to be the one that has more of this type of illicit activity.
