介绍： World Cup Puts Mexico's Cartel Crisis on the Global Stage
In this upscale, leafy suburb of Guadalajara, where manicured lawns sit near high-end shopping centers, 89 bags of human remains have been found in the past year, dumped in ravines or dug up from unmarked graves.
A few miles from those macabre discoveries, soccer fans will pour into the volcano-shaped Akron Stadium, just outside Guadalajara, for the first of four World Cup matches that will be played there, beginning Thursday.
Four months after a spasm of cartel violence paralyzed Guadalajara and the surrounding state of Jalisco, Mexican authorities are mounting a multimillion-dollar security dragnet to convince the world the tournament is safe. Guadalajara is particularly sensitive, located in the namesake state of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel—one of the biggest, most violent organized-crime groups in the country.
More than 130,000 people are missing across Mexico—most of them kidnapped or killed by cartels, sometimes in cooperation with law enforcement. Their relatives are plastering posters with photos of them outside World Cup sites, and they will take part in protests that threaten to disrupt access to the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City for Thursday's opening game.
For the families of Mexico's missing, the millions spent on high-tech stadium shields are an insult.
"There's a lack of resources and of will," said Jaime Aguilar, a volunteer with Search Warriors of Jalisco, which looks for clandestine graves across the state. "The resources are there. With the World Cup, we are seeing so much squandering of money to meet FIFA guidelines."
