The criminal infiltration

National Transparency should be had in the companies of the state The criminal infiltration By: Carlos Damian December 13, 2012 The databases should be modernized Mexico. - The Federal Institute of Access to the Information and Protection (IFFAI, in Spanish) it ordered (2/12/12) to Marina Ministry (SEMAR) that it looks for and disclose employees public's number attributed to that dependence that they have been ceased or processed by presumed bonds with the organized crime and strange criminal bands, of 2006 at 2011. In such a way that the IFFAI revoked the initial answer given by the SEMAR to a person that it requested that information: the required data had answered the dependence they are already public and they are in the system Informex. The petitioner presented a revision resource, pointing out that that database only registers information on military with control, not completely the personnel. The topic is of great interest because it concerns to the infiltration of the delinquency organized in the institution to the one that with more frequency and trust has appealed the Federal Executive to combat them. In different scales, such an infiltration exists in the group of the corporations of the public force and there are reasons to suspect of its graveness, but up to now the society doesn't have enough information that allows them to be made a clear idea of its dimensions. The Mexican Perestroika For years the federal government has come referring to the decomposition of the state and municipal police corporations to explain the failure of its strategy of public security and it combats to the crime rate, and it has been accused of using such an information with purposes of political knocking against administrations of the PRI and PRD. On the other hand, the federal Executive has kept silent up to now, on the corruption that reigns in its own dependences and on the way in that that phenomenon has impacted in the direction that it takes the war against the delinquency declared by the administration of Calderon from its beginnings. Plus still, the size of the infiltration of the crime rate in the federal corporations of the public force, so much civil as military, they had to be, unless you has acted with an biggest irresponsibility, a crucial fact in to the current government's determination of undertaking that war, and has been correctly pondered it had been able to mark the difference between the success and the failure of the strategy under way. Certainly, the fact requested by means of the IFAI to the SEMAR is only a fragment of the information with which the public power should count about the bonds between public servants and the organized, and not even coarse crime for itself to understand the degree of integrity and the personnel's reliability of the mentioned dependence: the quantity of crimes not necessarily keeps proportion with the times in that it is appealed to the mechanisms of justice to investigate them, and in its case, to sanction them. The glasnost in the Marine The IFAI ordered the SEMAR, it ordered to give the required information, however the person to receiving the partial information presented a revision resource before the IFAI, arguing that the data referred only correspond to military with control, and not to “all the officials", as him it required in its opportunity. Of the analysis of the applicable normatively, they concluded that the SEMAR has diverse competent administrative units to know of the requested information, as the biggest skilled worker, the Legal Unit and the Direction of human resources. Therefore, the full of the IFAI determined to revoke the answer of the SEMAR and to instruct him to make an exhaustive search of the information in all their competent administrative units, which will surrender to the person. Regarding the Mexican Army and in accordance with public information, it is at least this administration 174 military they have been processed, and removed by possession of drugs as marijuana, cocaine; to allow, to tolerate and to participate in the traffic of narcotics. According to public data among those ceased are 12 commandants of bases of operations, 11 platoon commandants, besides a general. Inform of the Secretary of the National Defence they point out that, in 2006, 15 military they were processed, three in 2007, one in 2008 and 33 in 2010, while last year the biggest number of soldiers was reported linked with illicit activities, when reaching the figure of 50. Last week (2/10/12) it was informed that a general and 29 soldier under their controls quartered in Chihuahua they are followed a process by positions of drug traffic, homicide and it tortures, among other crimes to who they were accused from August of 2009. Other cases were reported in Tijuana, Baja California, where at least eight military they were stopped to the moment to transport a ton of cocaine. They were stopped in a military custom. For it is pertinent and positive that the societies looks for additional information about the infiltration of the delinquency in the public institutions of the three government levels and try to be made a clear idea of the dimensions of this challenge. It fits to wait that in the months that subtract them the administration of Calderon, he abstains from obstructing transparency exercises like here commented us, and collaborate in the clarification of the phenomenon of crime rate in the country.
