An internet video – which claims to be linked to the Anonymous hacking movement – has threatened to expose details about a Mexican drugs cartel.
The YouTube message said it was “tired of the criminal group the Zetas, which is dedicated to kidnapping, stealing and extortion”.
It said the cartel “made a great mistake” carrying out an abduction of one of their members in Veracruz.
Local law authorities said they cannot authenticate the video.
The message shows a person dressed in a Guy Fawkes mask associated with Anonymous and other activist groups.
The voiceover, which is in Spanish, claims to know about police officers, journalists, taxi drivers and others who aid the cartel.
It said it will publish photographs and other details unless the kidnapped member of its group – who has not been identified – is released.
“We cannot defend ourselves with weapons, but we can with their cars, houses and bars,” the message added.
“It’s not difficult. We know who they are and where they are.”
