Overview

• A control judge linked Arturo “N” to process for possession of a vehicle circulation card and drug offenses, not for the double homicide of Ximena Guzmán and José Muñoz.
• The court ordered preventive detention—justified for local crimes and mandatory for federal counts—and Arturo “N” remains at Reclusorio Norte as federal authorities take over parts of the probe.
• With this ruling, eight of the 13 detainees are now formally facing proceedings, while four are awaiting hearings on possible linkage to process.
• Only Nery “N” has been charged directly with homicide, feminicide and association delictuosa; several others face drug charges and, in some cases, possession of army‑only ammunition transferred to federal courts.
• Authorities say the arrests followed coordinated raids in Gustavo A. Madero, Xochimilco, Coacalco and Otumba, and reported escape routes from Iztacalco toward Ecatepec, with some detainees already wanted for homicide and criminal association.
