● Personnel from the Navy, Federal Attorney General’s Office (FGR), Ministry of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC), Ministry of National Defense (Defensa), and the National Guard (GN) participated in the operation leading to the suspect’s detention
● The detainee is identified as one of the main operators of a criminal organization
As part of inter-agency coordination efforts in Colima, personnel from the Criminal Investigation Agency (AIC) of the Federal Attorney General’s Office (FGR), the Ministry of the Navy (Semar), the Ministry of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC), the Ministry of National Defense (Defensa), and the National Guard (GN), together with the National Intelligence Center (CNI), arrested José Luis “N”, identified as one of the main operators of a criminal organization.
As a result of sharing both information and intelligence work, the authorities were able to identify the operating area of a suspect wanted by U.S. authorities for his involvement in drug distribution.
As a result, fixed surveillance and security patrols were deployed in the metropolitan area of Colima and Villa de Álvarez, and it was in the vicinity of Benito Juárez Avenue that security agents identified a subject who matched the characteristics contained in the reports.
After verifying his identity, a provisional arrest warrant was served against José Luis “N” for the purpose of his extradition for crimes against health and criminal association.
The detainee was informed of his legal rights and was transferred to the appropriate authority for subsequent proceedings.
With these actions, the institutions of the Security Cabinet reaffirm their commitment to work in a coordinated manner to ensure peace and arrest individuals who generate violence.
