Judge Links Eighth Detainee to Prosecution in Killings of Brugada Aides

Prosecutors are relying on drug and document charges to hold detainees as the hunt for the gunman and alleged masterminds continues.

Overview

  • Arturo “N” was vinculados a proceso as the eighth of 13 detainees, facing charges for improper possession of a vehicle registration card and drug offenses after coordinated raids.
  • A control judge kept him in preventive custody at Reclusorio Norte, ordering justified detention for local crimes and mandatory preventive detention for federal counts, and shifted parts of the case to federal jurisdiction.
