NP Rank:
Member of the Coppel Family Kidnapped and Assasinated in Mexico
A failed attempt to rescue kidnapped victim resulted in the murder of Yolanda Ceballos Coppel in the hands of her kidnapper ¨El Ivan¨who committed suicide right after taking the victim´s life.
Two members of the rescue team also lost their lives Antonio Moreno Sánchez and Julio Rincón Juárez. in the rescue operation where three of the criminals were captured, two women and a man.
Yolanda Ceballos Coppel is related to the Coppel family one of families with more economic power and influence in the Pacific area of Mexico, owners of well known touristic empire like Pueblo Bonito and founders of the prestigious drug rehabilitation clinic Oceanica in Mazatlan of which she was a the Prevention Director. She was also daughter of Jesús Ceballos Gómez y Yolanda Coppel de Ceballos, who were dedicated to the fishing and automotive industries, therefore cousin to Mexican Entrepreneur and Cabo Resort Developer Ernesto Coppel Kelly.
.Her death is expected to be the drop that spills over the glass, concerning the lack of security for prominent families in Mexico as was the Fernando Marti´s case where the boy´s body was found decomposing in a car trunk even as the ransom had been paid.
Un fallido intento de rescate a cargo del Grupo Especial de Reacción e Intervención (GERI) derivó en el asesinato de Yolanda Ceballos Coppel, emparentada con reconocidos empresarios del ramo turístico y comercial.
El asesinato de Yolanda Ceballos Coppel, perteneciente a una de las familias más influyentes del Pacífico, podría convertirse en la gota que derrame el vaso de la impaciencia de los empresarios. El asunto amenaza con convertirse en un escándalo similar al de la ejecución del joven Martí. Quizá no se trate de un tema de corrupción policiaca, toda vez que se montó un operativo para rescatarla. Pero todo operativo que termina con la muerte de la víctima que se intenta rescatar califica como fracaso. La polémica sobre la capacidad de nuestras policías y la calidad de su armamento frente a los delincuentes apenas comienza. Sin embargo, en el operativo fallido también cayeron dos jefes policiacos de alto mando a quienes no habrá que olvidar. La capacidad de sacrificio y el arrojo de nuestros mejores policías no es lo que está en juego.
