Overview

• Arturo “N” was formally linked to process for illegal possession of a circulation card and drug offenses, not for the May 20 double homicide.
• A control judge ordered him to remain in preventive detention at Reclusorio Norte and declined local competence on federal aspects, which were turned over to national authorities.
• The ruling brings to eight the number of the 13 detainees now facing proceedings from last week’s coordinated raids, with four suspects still awaiting hearings.
• Prosecutors state that only Nery “N” is directly charged with homicide, feminicide and criminal association, while others face drug and weapons counts, some under federal courts due to military-grade munitions.
• Authorities describe a planned attack involving at least 20 days of surveillance, multiple vehicles and an escape route from La Asunción toward Ecatepec, and they continue to seek the material and intellectual perpetrators.
