The images that unexpectedly recorded a couple of subjects in a depressed corner of the Mexican population of Cosalá, in the state of Sinaloa, are being analyzed by antimafia agents in the United States.
The video, recorded on Tuesday from a ramshackle truck, with a Mexican run as ambient music, lasts only 57 seconds.

But they were enough to leave the record of a string of 18 high-end cars, parked next to ruined buildings and four fast-food establishments: the XX restaurant stewed in a rich way, Barbecue, beef and meat; Chicken and more and La Granjita.
“El Tiempo” accessed the video in which Mercedes Benz AMG E63 is stationed; Lamborghini; BMW I8; Porsche 911 Carrera S; Chevrolet Corvette; Porsche Cayman; BMW 240M; BMW 135I; Mini John Cooper Works; Dodge Viper; BMW M4; Mustang GT; Porsche 911 Carrera S; Porsche Carrera; Mustang Shelby and a Chevrolet Corvette.
Experts say that in the Mexican market, cars exceed one million dollars.
Indeed, only Lamborghini can reach $ 350,000, and the area where they were recorded is one of the most depressed parts of Cosalá. The Mercedes E63 is valued at $ 120,000.
The Porsche, on average, cost $ 135,000. The Mustangs can be worth the same $ 135,000 and the Corvets cost at least $ 100,000. And BMWs, on average, cost $ 90,000 in Mexico.
That means that, in that single corner of a population that has no more than 7,000 inhabitants, there are just over 1 million dollars parked. Who has that purchasing power there? Researchers have asked.
In fact, in the video you listen to the subjects who made the images declare themselves terrified by the show and comment that the paradox is that there is no money in the area.
“Look (…) chingones, look at that mother … Porsche. And that there is no wool in the State.”
Cosalá -While it is a region of middle income due to mining, especially silver mining- it is located in what is known as the ‘golden triangle’, a region in which Joaquín ‘El Chapo’ Guzmán – head of the Sinaloa Cartel Sentenced to life imprisonment in the United States – consolidated its main refuge before its last capture and extradition.
It is a wooded area that is conformed between the Mexican states of Sinaloa, Durango and Chihuahua, where the once powerful drug trafficker consolidated a private army for its protection and for the management of its illegal businesses.
Y Cosalá It is the gateway to that region. There is even a nearby area known as the Tamazula ranches, where it is said that ‘El Chapo’ placed several of his henchmen at the time to avoid military action while he was still free.
Because of this background in the area, and the high value of cars parked in that corner, it is that federal agents inquire whether their owners are successful entrepreneurs or are also linked to drug trafficking.
