Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office is investigating whether a Canadian mining company holds any responsibility in the suspected cartel kidnapping of 10 of its workers, President Claudia Sheinbaum said Friday.

Sheinbaum said the federal body, led by Attorney General Ernestina Godoy Ramos, will investigate the motive behind the Jan. 23 kidnappings.

“We have to … look into exactly what the labour conditions were for these miners and see if there is or isn’t responsibility," on the part of Vizsla Silver Corp. employees, she said during a morning news conference in Mexico City.

Sheinbaum said the office is also examining whether extortion or threats played a role in the kidnapping.
