Hired to protect the nation's business and political elite from kidnappings, robberies, and assassinations, these bodyguards are a key part of the private security industry that is among Mexico's fast growing sectors. In recent weeks, however, they have also been hitting the headlines thanks to a string of incidents, ranging from the apparently trivial to the horrific, suggesting they believe themselves above the law.

"There's definitely an element of aggression among bodyguards these days, and I believe the sector needs better laws," says David Nieto, a 38-year-old powerfully-built former soldier who became a bodyguard after leaving the army in 2003. "I've had employers tell me that I had to get rid of someone who annoyed them, manhandle them. I tell them: if you're looking for a thug, ask someone else."

Soft spoken and polite, Nieto says he currently watches over an executive from a large foreign carmaker for a company that he says has "clear rules" about the use of force, handling discussions with people on the street, and generally what is and what is not allowed.

Last year, local media reported that several people were killed in separate incidents involving bodyguards in Mexico City. In most of these cases, bodyguards shot and killed alleged robbers, though doubts over whether the show of force was excessive often remain.

These bodyguards, known as Guaruras, have also been linked to deaths that go beyond the heat of the moment. Last month the chief prosecutor in the state of Puebla, just east of Mexico City, announced that an investigation into the disappearance of six people had led to the discovery that a local businessmen had ordered their deaths in revenge for a violent burglary. According to the investigation the businessman sent out his bodyguards to abduct, torture, murder, mutilate, and then burn the victims.

Neither the murders in the capital nor the horror in Puebla, however, have received anything like the attention given to another incident that took place last month in the Miguel Hidalgo borough of Mexico City, where Polanco is located. The difference was that it played out live on Periscope.

The aggression involved a local government official called Arne Aus den Ruthen. His job is supposed to focus on roaming the area to identify problems with such things as garbage collection and broken street lights. He also seeks out traffic violators and other transgressors who he likes to film in the act and broadcast this live to his 50,000 followers.

One week later, Aus den Ruthen apparently bumped into the same group that had again parked where they shouldn't. This time, however, bodyguards attacked him and took his cell phone. The film of this incident went viral.

"It's not just me, all citizens are in danger of being attacked by bodyguards who don't respect the law," Aus den Ruthen told VICE News a few weeks later. "The police apparently refused to act, so we need to continue to call out such behavior. There's no point in regulating if policemen are too afraid to deal with bodyguards and employers who violate the law."

Outrage at the arrogance of Mexico's business and political elite has been growing in recent years fueled by social media as citizens spread images of them, and their offspring, when they are drunk, abusive, aggressive, and disrespectful. Not infrequently those videos include threats to those doing the recording, or attempts to pull rank.

Bodyguards, critics say, are used as tools to enforce such threats, and often it works. Their employers' wealth and power often appears to be too daunting to police officers as in the Aus den Ruthen case.

"Politicians, businessmen and celebrities alike surround themselves with these arrogant types not just out of fear of being abducted, but also because they can exert power," political analyst Alfonso Zrate wrote in his weekly column in El Universal.

According to a recent investigation by the news website Animal Poltico, the number of private security guards registered with the federal government has grown by over 17,000 per cent in a decade, from 419 in 2005 to 73,411 this year. Their employers have also proliferated in an impressive fashion. There were only 310 private security companies registered with the interior ministry in 2013. Now there are 1,103.

Animal Poltico cited estimates from the National Confederation of Private Security Firms (AMESP) putting the number of clandestine bodyguards at anywhere between a quarter of a million and 600,000. The group says the number of unregistered private security companies lies at around 8,000 or 9,000.

There are no requirements on the companies to check out potential bodyguards for hidden criminal records or to make them take drugs tests. The AMESP complains that instead companies face registration processes that are heavy on needless red tape.

Attempts to improve regulation have not got very far. A proposed National Private Security Law is stuck in the Senate. Mexico City's mayor, Miguel ngel Mancera, gave few details and no dates when he promised he would introduce regulations that would make bodyguards and their vehicles more easily identifiable in the wake of the Aus den Ruthen incident.

The biggest impact of the alternation so far has been Mexico City's human rights commission ordering the city manager to stop filming after receiving complaints from people exposed by his Periscope broadcasts.

While many commentators recognize that such shaming methods used by an official do raise questions about abuse of power, some have pointed out that the primary issue in this case is that the employers of bodyguards are often more powerful than the state authorities.

"The problem is that we have used up rivers of ink talking about Arne and not about what to do about the hundreds of Libien who are on the loose," wrote Salvador Camarena in El Financiero. "Arne is a symptom, but the illness is that politicians and businessmen are untouchable jerks."

The Hitman's Bodyguard is a 2017 action comedy film[7] directed by Patrick Hughes and written by Tom O'Connor. It stars Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson with Gary Oldman and Salma Hayek. In the film, Michael Bryce (Reynolds) must protect Darius Kincaid, an imprisoned hitman (Jackson), who is on his way to testify at the International Criminal Court against a sadistic Eastern European dictator Vladislav Dukhovich (Oldman).

The Hitman's Bodyguard was released in the United States on 18 August 2017 and grossed $183 million worldwide. It received mixed reviews from critics who praised the performances and chemistry of Reynolds and Jackson and action sequences but criticized its clichd plot and execution.[8] A sequel titled Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard was released on 16 June 2021.

Michael Bryce lives a luxurious life as a successful UK-based private bodyguard, until his client Takashi Kurosawa, an international arms dealer, is assassinated on his watch. Two years later, the fallen-from-grace Bryce survives by protecting drug-addicted corporate executives in London.

Meanwhile, Vladislav Dukhovich, the vicious dictator of Belarus, is on trial for crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court. Unable to secure solid evidence or testimony against him, the prosecution's last hope is incarcerated hitman Darius Kincaid, who agrees to testify against Dukhovich in exchange for the release of his wife Sonia from prison. Led by Interpol Agent Amelia Roussel, an armed convoy escorts Darius from the UK to the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

With the aid of treacherous Interpol Assistant Director Jean Foucher, Dukhovich's men successfully ambush the convoy as it passes through Coventry and kill most of the security team. Darius eliminates the attackers, and Amelia, the sole survivor, takes him to an Interpol safehouse in the city. Realizing that the agency can not be entrusted with the mission due to a possible leak, she enlists the help of Bryce, her ex, to escort and protect Darius on the way to The Hague.

They hitchhike to a ferry going to Amsterdam, where Sonia is being held. Darius reveals to Bryce that he was the one who killed Kurosawa, having spotted him by chance while on another job, causing an outraged Bryce to abandon him. As Bryce evaluates his past mistakes at a beer stand, Dukhovich's men attack Darius. Bryce regains his composure and helps Darius escape, but is captured in the process. As he's being tortured, Darius arrives and rescues Bryce.

After reconciling their differences, they arrive at The Hague with seconds to spare. Darius testifies that Dukhovich hired him to assassinate a political rival, but Darius witnessed Dukhovich carry out a mass execution and uploaded the massacre photos to a secret FTP site that he provides to the court.

Dukhovich admits guilt, and then resorts to his backup plan: bombing the court to escape. Foucher leaves the court before the bombing and Amelia deduces he was the traitor. In the confusion after the bomb goes off, Dukhovich seizes a gun to kill Darius, but Bryce dives in front of the bullet, taking the hit. Injured, he tells Darius to stop Dukhovich.

Foucher and Amelia struggle until Bryce shoots him to save Amelia. Darius pursues Dukhovich to the roof where he attempts to escape by helicopter his men hijacked. Darius destroys the helicopter and angrily kicks Dukhovich off the roof to his death for shooting Bryce.

Darius is rearrested for his various crimes but breaks out of Belmarsh Prison several months later so he and Sonia can celebrate their anniversary in the bar in Honduras where they first met. As a wild bar brawl breaks out around them, they kiss.

In May 2011, David Ellison's Skydance Media acquired the action script The Hitman's Bodyguard written by Tom O'Connor.[9] The script was among the top 2011 Black List of unproduced screenplays.[10] While originally intended as a drama, the script underwent a "frantic" two-week rewrite to be remade into a comedy several weeks prior to filming.[11]

On November 4, 2015, Ryan Reynolds, Samuel L. Jackson, and Gary Oldman were cast in the film, which Jeff Wadlow would direct for Millennium Films. Producers would be Mark Gill, John Thompson, Matt O'Toole and Les Weldon.[12] On February 23, 2016, lodie Yung and Salma Hayek were cast in the film, which Lionsgate would distribute in the United States.[13] On March 9, 2016, it was reported that Wadlow had exited the film and Patrick Hughes signed on to direct the film.[14][15]
