any violence there?

[jesm]

Any direct answer would offer, of course there is violence everywhere.
As to organized, ie, cartel inspired, killings and kidnappings, none that I know. However a fully accurate response is nothing has occurred here in GTO Capital that causes us concern about our safety.
Our gardener’s teenage son recently had his phone stolen at knife point at noon on a busy street in Marfil. Those types of petty material focused crime continue and maybe are more frequent, but attacks on your person, no issues for us.
