Boss of Federal Police in Mexico fired

(Vatican Radio) Mexico`s President has fired the Federal Police Chief, following a damning report from the National Human Rights Commission.

The reports concludes that some officers "arbitrarily executed" 22 suspected members of a drug cartel at a ranch in Western Mexico. 

James Blears reports about fallout, which has reach and purged the highest levels. 

Listen: 

Federal Police Chief Enrique Gallindo, has been fired by Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto, as the investigation into the massacre deepens. The announcement of the President`s decision was made by Minister of the Interior Miguel Angel Osorio Chong.
 
The National Human Rights Commission report condemned the killings of 22 men by Federal Police at a ranch last year, in the State of Michoacán who they insist were: "Arbitarily executed."  

It also says that the Federal Police even posed some of the bodies, placing guns in lifeless hands to fake the scenario, trying to give a different impression to incoming forensic experts. 

In total 42 people died at that ranch, on that day.  One Police Officer was killed.  Enrique Gallindo refutes the findings against his men. 

The report lambasts the already tattered reputation of Police in Mexico,  who have been at the sharp end of an ongoing nine year Drug War, which has claimed more than 150,000 lives.
