Mexico D.F. - On Monday, news reports surfaced that Mexican federal legislators are working to introduce a bill this week to penalize up to 50 years in prison for posting drug cartel messages threatening the public. The bill will effect messages also posted by people on social networks like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, My Space and ect. in the Internet originating from Mexico.
One of the sponsors, federal Representative Roberto Zamora Jiménez, (PRI-Jalisco, Institution Revolutionary Party) confirmed in a news report posted in Narco Trafico en Mexico that the bill will most likely be introduced for debate. The bill would be another instrument for the mexican government to use against criminal organizations and penalize its drug cartel members for threatening the public for snitching to authorities about their criminal activities. Most messages posted be criminal organizations threaten informers with death for snitching.
Last week, WiKiLeaks posted a document from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) revealing that more than 51 Mexican federal police and agents who had worked jointly with the DEA and FBI had been killed by the drug cartels for collaborating and giving information to the U.S. feds.
The bill, if approved would allow mexican prosecutors to seek penalties from 10 to 50 years in prison for suspects convicted for using grenades, explosives, and posting drug cartel messages in public or on the Internet threatening rival cartels and the public.
