Workplace violence is a topic that makes many
workplaces uncomfortable. Workplace violence ranges from bullying to physical
violence between employees. Here is a horrible case that recently occurred.
Two employees of the aluminium wheel manufacturing plant located in the (name omitted) industrial zone
in (location omitted), were arrested as part of the investigations into the
disappearance of (a worker), which occurred in (August 2024), a case that has
gained national attention.
This was said, head of the State Attorney General's Office, who explained
to the media that the detainees are high-level workers of the company and that
the disappearance of the worker could be linked to criminal activities.
"We have two detainees so far: a manager of the company itself, a
senior official. He was head of maintenance, where the ovens and dangerous
products that are handled in that industry are located, whose main focus is the
manufacture of wheels and aluminum-based products," explained the head of
the State Attorney General's Office.
They point to an intentional crime
In this sense, he remarked that the disappearance of the worker does not
point to being a work accident, but the result of an intentional crime. They
may be activities related to some illicit activities that could be carried out
by some people in the company, even at a high level. This is the main line of
research. I cannot give further details at this time, but the crime of
disappearance of the worker has been charged and one day is the hearing of
linkage to the process," he declared. The case of (the missing worker) gained
attention due to the mystery that surrounded it, as the worker entered his day
but no one saw him leave and his cell phone appeared in a square located a few
kilometers from there, while his car was parked in the place. According to
reports, blood stains were found in a mop inside a bathroom in the area where (the
missing employee) worked. Likewise, the two arrested people were captured by
surveillance cameras leaving the (workplace) on the afternoon of the
events for 18 minutes, during which time it is presumed that they took
Servando's cell phone to the nearby square. "We do not consider it to be a
work accident, we are considering it as an intentional intentional crime, the
main line of investigation could be related to illicit activities that could be
carried out by some people in the company," said the Prosecutor
They search in areas of ovens and use of chemicals
In that sense, the official pointed out that it is believed that (missing
worker) never left the factory and that the area where the disappearance is
suspected to have occurred has been checked with trained dogs. "We have
secured areas. The area where we suspect (missing worker) was disappeared is
secured (...) There are furnaces and areas where the prosecutor's office has
already had access that are totally restricted, because there aluminum and
other metals are melted, muriatic acid and other very strong and harmful
chemicals are used. All that is assured," he explained. (missing worker), aged
35, was last seen when he went to work at the company and although he marked
his entry time, he did not do so when he left nor was he seen by any security
camera leaving the building.
We acknowledge this is the extreme of workplace
violence. But, sadly we have reported physical violence before. The news media
article states the whereabouts of the missing worker is unknown.
We offer our sincere prayers that the missing worker is found safe and healthy.
