The Interior Circuit: A Mexico City Chronicle - Plot & Excerpts
I don’t disbelieve that Moreno was shown the missing piece of video by somebody, or was at least told about it by somebody he trusted who’d seen it. I can certainly understand his reluctance to reveal these details, because whoever had showed it to him or told him about it, if identified, would certainly be endangered. But I doubt that anyone who tried to find this piece of video now would succeed. Moreno also wrote that Ríos had “discarded the testimony of three witnesses.” Those three statements are verifiable because they are in the official case file as “Preliminary Inquiries.”15 Other crime and court beat reporters, but only a few, also read and wrote about the statements. They were given by three young people who had escaped the Heavens levantón by fleeing up the club’s stairs and out onto the roof. From one of those statements: “I come out of the bathroom, and I see two chavos and two waiters running up the stairs, but the chavos went into the ladies’ room, and as you go up the stairs you pass a dog [statue] like all lit up with lights and there’s a glass door, and when you open it you see a spiral staircase that goes up to the second level and the owners’ offices, and running behind the waiters were Toño [Toñín] and Zoé [when Toñín had first gone to testify at CAPEA he’d given Zoé’s name], and at the moment I turned around, as they went past, I saw a subject, tall, robust, dark brown skin, a red scarf covering half his face, very short hair, wearing a long black gabardine, and holding in his hands a type of assault rifle, and behind him was another person I didn’t get a good look at and he was holding what seemed like a pistol, and when I saw that, I turned and ran.”Another witness: “And at that moment as I was coming down, I saw like seven people armed with rifles or machine guns, and so I didn’t want to go outside so what I did was slam the door shut and run back inside the antro.”And the third: “I’ve already told you that things got heavy because a commando had come to the antro and taken a lot of people, and also I said that there were patrullas [police] and that, it seemed, there were Federales, and they went in blue vans and a green Suburban and also a gray van.
