National and international newspapers have covered the cases. Carlos Zamarripa, who coordinates Guanajuato State detectives, has been appointed to head the investigation. He has been involved in the cases since December and now replaces San Miguel de Allende District Attorney as head of the investigation. A special response group, ordered by the State Attorney General, has been formed which will have specific training in handling the solving of high-risk crimes. The US State Department, the Mexican Army and the French National Police are among the organizations involved with the specific training.
Of the 14 suspects, 2 men who were detained in connection with the investigation have filed complaints with the human rights office about their treatment by the district attorney (ministero público) detectives. Because of the complaints, the district attorney's office is having an internal investigative group review the agent's actions.
