the request of the family of one of the Argentines who disappeared on a yacht in the Caribbean

Almost a week after the disappearance of the yacht carrying two Argentines from Mexico to Haiti, the family of a member of the crew carried out a desperate cry for help so that they intensify the search for the boat. Until this afternoon they had no trace.

“We are desperate, we need everyone continue to collaborate in the search for my son, from sweeps to the replication of the news by journalists ”, asked the father of Carlos Juárez, the Mendoza who was going to bring humanitarian aid to the country of Central America with three colleagues.

The ship “MOI Guadalupe” was returning to its original destination when, halfway, it lost all contact. The last communication was when he was leaving Jamaica, where he stopped to refuel.

Since then, the Mexican Navy has worked with light aircraft and boats along and around the route taken by the crew.

However, the Argentine consul in Playa del Carmen, Lautaro Filchtinsky, claimed on Monday afternoon that No news yet on the whereabouts and reported that they are currently sweeping the northern Gulf, while the family of the Argentine Spasiano – another of the missing – does so with a private plane to the south.

“They are working in coordination, researching in different areas, but so far nothing,” Filchtinsky told Telam news agency of work in the area.

Against this background, Carlos Juárez’s family revealed that they were considering the hypothesis that is this a pirate kidnapping.

“What we do know is that it could be a case of piracy and that it was searched on the coast, as there is no sign that the yacht sank, it is impossible, “they expressed and said they are asking for the United States’ help to continue.

To reinforce this theory, they argued that in the region there would be pirates from Haiti and Venezuela who hijack boats and take them to the coasts, which could have happened with the yacht in which the Mexican Martín Vega Argaez and the Cuban Denis Manuel Fernández Díaz were also found.

Finally, in dialogue with the Los Andes newspaper, the family concluded: “It’s hopeless. A thousand horrible things go through our heads but we still try to be optimistic. We don’t wish this on anyone in the world.”

Along with Juarez’s request for help comes the desperation of the surroundings of Renzo Spasiano, the companion he traveled with to bring food, medicine and even a field hospital.

With their own means, they paid for a plane to activate the search, when the authorities did not give them an answer. “We did the whole area where they could be. Because there had been a sighting of a possible boat and we followed the ocean currents and the like but there is no trace of anything. Now , we must try to get the help of the United States “, agree with those close to Mendoza.

And they explained: “It would be important to be able to count on them because there are currents that could have ended in Miami. Hopefully we can count on their help to accelerate the research even further,” he said. demand.
