The Jalisco Cartel (CJNG) is now using fast food restaurants in Mexico as meeting points to recruit young people and make them join its ranks, according to a new report.

Concretely, Mexican outlet Milenio published the report after gathering testimonies from groups searching for loved ones believed to have been taken by cartels. They said young people are generally lured to the restaurants after being promised well-paying jobs. They are then greeted by a couple who pays for a trip elsewhere, with families saying that is the last thing they know from them.
