So far the authorities continue with investigations to try to locate the missing, and the restaurant's owner, Ernesto Espinosa Lobo. A week after the strange event, which would be the first of its kind in the capital - no confirmation about the rapture not a strong hypothesis about what might have happened. The unofficial version, built by the statements of the family, based on the alleged testimony of a young man, he says, he escaped the kidnapping, is that the missing group-young people between 16 and 30 years of the popular neighborhood of Tepito- was removed from the club in a hurry by the owner of the premises, with the excuse that there was to be a police raid, and was waiting outside a command of people with their faces covered that took three vans.

The prosecutor said that after reviewing the images detected between eight and ten suspicious vehicles, vans and moving trucks of which revealed no further details on that claim may have been victims.

He added two more messages: "Political communication scandals around violence requires extremely high doses of specialty and sensitivity". "It has long been known that violence scandals poorly communicated by the authority increased mistrust and insecurity".

While the atmosphere is rarefied in the capital in recent years considered a haven of peace compared with what was happening within the Republic. The Saturday afternoon riot police elements of the Secretariat of Public Security of the Federal District faced off against 100 protestors who carried painted in Tacubaya Metro Station, causing a huge commotion. Collective Transport System subsequently clarified that the action was done to prevent vandalism within the facilities put at risk the integrity of users.

In this case no one was arrested or injured, but the incident did not go unnoticed, even to the political left. Alternate Senator Citizens Movement, Martha Tagle, used his account on the social network Twitter to launch a poisoned dart Mancera "Missing in zona rosa, grenadiers in the subway fare increase, which is happening in the City? @ ManceraMiguelMX " . The theory about the supposed tranquility of Mexico City and its government, is floundering.
