Female Assassin Implicated in 20 Murders, Mexico Police Say | Fox News Latino

Mexican authorities have arrested a woman who they say led a gang of assassins connected with at least 20 homicides and several kidnappings.

Mar#a Jiménez, 26, allegedly led a group that received $1,700 a month from Los Zetas, one of Mexico’s most notorious drug cartels, to carry out contract killings and other crimes, Mexican daily El Milenio reports.

Security forces captured Jiménez and other alleged members of the group last week. She confessed to the murders and other crimes, said security spokesman for the state of Nuevo León Jorge Domene Zambrano to Reuters.

Jiménez, known by her alias as “La Tosca,” a Spanish word meaning “tough,” allegedly operated in the north of the country, including the country’s murder capital of Ciudad Juárez. She was one of four women and three men arrested for their alleged involvement in the group.

Authorities swill charge her with murder, car theft and kidnapping.

Mexican security forces suspect Jiménez of involvement in the murder of a police detective and other drug dealers.
