GUADALAJARA - Cardinal Juan Posadas Ocampo was gunned down May 24, 1993, in the parking lot of Guadalajara International Airport, along with six other persons.

Twenty-one years after the cardinal’s death, the assassination has never been solved, with accusations levied against both drug cartels and the Mexican government of the time.

Attorney Jesus Becerra Pedrote has traced the investigations and red herrings following the murder of the Archbishop of Guadalajara, publishing his findings in a new book, “The Jackals,” asking that the truth about the affair finally come to light.

The assassination of Cardinal Posadas “involved people of the inner circle of the then-president of Mexico, Carlos Salinas de Gortari,” according to Becerra.

“There is no evidence that the president ordered the assassination, but there is evidence that the president’s men committed the assassination,” the lawyer told CNA May 21.

Cardinal Posadas was killed while sitting in his car at the airport. He was shot 14 times with automatic weapons.
