According to reports, the agents went to the property to allegedly evict the woman, who allegedly could no longer live in the house due to the breach of a contract.
“Don’t touch me,” the woman yells over and over as she struggles with an agent in an armchair.
Another officer assures that she had already been told that she had to leave the property, to which she replies that she is the owner of the house. ” At the moment there is a signed contract, madam, in which you cannot be in the property,” the police officer said.
A man recording what happened asks the officers not to use force against the woman and to find another way for her to leave the house. In addition, he warns that the person is ill.
Regarding this case, the Municipal Secretariat of Public Safety and Traffic of Cancun pointed out that alleged police abuse for this fact is already being investigated.
This is a new controversy in which Quintana Roo police officers have been involved, who have been singled out for different cases of abuse of authority and gender violence.
