“DESPOJO” as defined by Sonora Penal Code
Wednesday, May 27th, 2009I would like to thank Lic. ABCD EFGH from Bahia de Kino, for scanning the State of Sonora Penal Code for the crime of Despojo and E-mailing it to me. She states that she is embarrassed that this can be happening to foreign investors in her beautiful country but more importantly her home state of Sonora! She also states that they had similar problems in San Carlos and Puerto Penasco when it started to get popular.
This is a direct copy of the current penal code for the State of Sonora defining “DESPOJO” I have googled and asked around for a direct translation for the word DESPOJO but havent really found one in English. In a nut shell, it is a crime when you deprive a LEGAL OWNER of their land by what ever means. Clearly, as evidenced in our case one cannot conclude that we were not deprived of our land when VIOLENCE was used by these terrorists to steal our land and throw us off.
If the videos and the pictures and testimony presented during the process was not enough to convince the judge that they had clear intent, motive and means to carry out this crime, then I must be imagining that this crime actually occured and the almost four years and the $300,000 I have spent so far trying to get our land back is just a figment of my crazy imagination.
I will asking for a COMPLETE copy of the court file so I can scan and post if here so that everybody can see the damming evidence that the judge ignored when he finalized his conclusion that NO CRIME had been committed by these criminals!!
You as a potential investor of Sonora real estate should be asking yourself; “Is it really worth it to invest good, hard earned money in Sonora??
