Adrián Mauricio N. is identified for his probable connection with various crimes, particularly kidnappings for extortion purposes, that would have occurred in the State of Mexico. It has not yet been confirmed whether he will face additional charges or if he is linked to other cases under investigation.
This arrest is part of Operation Enjambre, a strategy implemented by the Mexican Prosecutor’s Office to locate and prosecute public servants involved in illicit activities. This operation is expected to continue in the coming weeks with the aim of capturing other suspects who have managed to evade the first interventions or who are considered priority targets.
