A hearing on a lawsuit in Mexico against an American weapon manufacturer will be held on April 12

Now there is an initial hearing date in which the Mexican government will issue an oral claim against an arms company in Massachusetts, USA, which has been sued for negligent trade practices.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SRE) reported on Tuesday afternoon through a statement that will be announced virtually on April 12 next year.

At the hearing, the judge listens to each party's position regarding claims, responses and defenses, replies and claims presented in the initial statements of disclaimers, as well as the seven briefings of friends in the court, and decides whether the trial can continue to take the next step.

It is worth mentioning that on March 14, the deadline for ordnance to submit a response to the aftershocks of the Mexican defense accused of killing thousands of people in Mexican territory was extended.

history

On August 4, 2021, the Mexican government filed a lawsuit against the top 10 weapons manufacturers in the District Court of Massachusetts, which accuses them of negligent practices and of knowing that their products are being illegally trafficked and supplied by criminal groups.

The lawsuit was filed against manufacturers such as Smith & Wesson, Century Arms, Colt Manufacturing, Glock, Luger and Barrett, while the 0.50 caliber sniper rifle is a war weapon used by drug cartels.

On December 22, the United Nations Security Council approved a resolution submitted by Mexico on arms trafficking, which condemns the distribution of weapons causing supplies to non-state actors and reaffirms that small arms and light weapons pose a threat to international peace and security.

Given this, on January 14, Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrad was named “Person of the Year” in Gun Control 2021.
