MEXICO-CRIME-VIOLENCE-BUSINESS
TO GO WITH AFP STORY
Picture of a car dealership which had to be closed by its owners after being attacked for not paying their "cuota" -- a monthly tax charged by criminal gangs to thousands of local businesses -- in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, on July 6, 2011. While local businesses have been devastated by high murder rates and criminal gangs in Mexico's most deadly city of Ciudad Juarez, multinational industry is booming. Many small shops lie empty on the desolate streets of the border city across from El Paso, Texas, while foreign manufacturers are setting up more plants known as "maquiladoras", which import and assemble duty-free components for export. Some companies have increased their security costs in northern border cities such as Ciudad Juarez but officials say maquiladoras are not threatened because they lack what gangs want most, cash.
