There's a saying in Spanish "Plata o plomo". Literally translated means "Silver or Lead". Meaning is you can take the bribe (silver) or we'll give you the lead (bullets). I think that is the Hobson's choice these families are faced with. Most people would agree to be paid off vs. being dead.
'Where were all of her family members when this happened?'
Paid off is my guess.
