Was there ever a criminal charge against the militia who forcefully removed people from their homes without a court order?<br /><br />This story intrigues me and I am in NY am thinking or writing a piece calling out Villalobos and others by name and seeing if the AARP or other major publications will pick it up as I believe US Citizens need to be warned.Athletiarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09084728961083877119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248671393354015226.post-814929766768419662014-03-04T13:16:36.819-08:002014-03-04T13:16:36.819-08:00Athletiart: A real estate agent would say that thi...Athletiart: A real estate agent would say that this is an anomaly. And on this scale, perhaps. But private property - at least hanging onto it - can be risky business in Mexico. Very risky. The more desirable the property, the more someone is likely to try to snatch it. Pure power, pure politics. And if you are a gringo, you can't really even play the game.Michael J.

Is there no real protection of private property rights? And if one purchased Mexican land through a fideicomiso and the land is stolen by a Mexican developer can one file suit against the bank for a return of the money paid for the 99 year lease? Would love to know as I am looking for land in the area now.<br /><br />Thanks!Athletiarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09084728961083877119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248671393354015226.post-31984605520119620122014-01-21T05:49:56.181-08:002014-01-21T05:49:56.181-08:00Berkeley Barbara: Your points are well taken and i...Berkeley Barbara: Your points are well taken and in the U.S., sure it makes sense to look at court documents. It would also make sense to quote people. From your time in Mexico, you are likely aware of how things really work - which is how the properties were seized illegally and without government interference in the first place. In the meantime, any maps that show the 42 acres that Villalobos will retain is being kept from everyone's view in a Mexican game of Where's Waldo...Michael J.

I've been a journalist for 50 years, and I know the difference between facts and what some unidentified "big chief of the ejido" tells me. Got any <i>actual</i> facts? Documents? References? Court filings or findings? Anything to back up the guy's assertions? I'd love to see it.
