Through intelligence work and surveillance of criminal organizations, the agents arrested Gustavo “N,” leader of a criminal cell operating in the region, who faces charges filed against him by U.S. authorities for drug trafficking. He is also identified as a priority target. Four other suspects were also arrested, and nine kilograms and 330 fentanyl pills, five firearms, ammunition of various calibers, and two properties were seized.
