From what I can determine from the above INFORMADOR article, the extortion amounts to $150MXN payable each Monday.

Yes 150 pesos a week,not something to kill 5 people over IMO

Maybe in fact it was a lot more than that. That is why Dr. Luz is not longer a vet practicing lakeside and Marina of Marina's spa and hotel left and went back to the US.

FEG isn't an acronym for one of the drug cartels.

According to the papers the investigation has taken a new turn. Local merchants are saying that the adult victim had actually been collecting protection money for the FEG.

The last theory makes a whole lot more sense. It would explain whay the top of the FEG left town and are refusing to appear as well.
