13 security forces that were taken from a Peruvian gold mine that was found dead

The corpses of 13 security forces, which were kidnapped from a large Peruvian gold mine a little more than a week ago, were found on Sunday, the mining company said.

The Peruvian company La Poderosa said that a search and rescue team recovered the remains of the employees on Sunday. It accused their kidnapping to informal miners who were supposedly connected to criminal gangs who attacked the gold mine on April 26.

La Poderosa, a private company based in Peru's capital Lima, said that criminal groups who fight for control over the mine have killed 39 of the company of the company in Peru's remote northwest city Pataz since the beginning of 1980, including the last 13.

“The spiral of uncontrolled violence in Pataz occurs despite the explanation of a state of emergency and the presence of a large police contingent, which unfortunately unfortunately could not stop the deterioration in the region,” said the mining company in a statement.

In a particularly brazen incident in December 2023, illegal miners attacked the same Poderosa mine with explosives, killed nine people and wounded 15.

In the city of Trujillo, west of Pataz, some of the relatives of the victims waited for the corpses to be transferred to the morgue there.

“We want justice that this not only hears here,” said Abraham Dominguez, whose son Alexander Tot was found in the mine, the Canal N TV station, AFP reported.

The Peruvian police did not immediately respond to inquiries about comments.

Peru's Ministry of the Interior said that special police forces were used to “localize and capture the crimes responsible for these hideous crimes”. There were no further details about the attack or his perpetrators.

Peru is a large gold and copper supplier for the world and makes it unique to work with some protective measures as long as you want to legalize your operations. But the illegal mining quickly boomed into a huge industry when the metals became more and more lucrative, new mining techniques were created and the government fought to achieve an answer.
