Mexico City police are investigating classified advertisements posted on the Internet by people offering their services as hired killers for as little as $6,000, police said on Friday.
One post on the Web site, which hosts free ads for people selling old home appliances or renting apartments, advertises the services of an "ex-military hitman, professional and discrete."
The man promises a "job guaranteed in 10 days or less" and adds "I have worked in Spain, only serious offers, $6,000."
New Mexico man pleads guilty as investigators target illegal gun sales
A New Mexico man pleaded guilty to fraud and forgery charges in Arizona Thursday in connection with arms purchases tied to gun trafficking. The case comes as federal, state and Phoenix-area law enforcement officials investigate links between Mexican gun runners, drug cartels and purchases made at Phoenix-area gun stores and dealers.
The Arizona Attorney General's office alleged that some of the guns purchased by 23-year-old Victor Varela in the Phoenix area are connected to crimes committed by Mexican drug cartels.
