Judge Orders Alleged Unión Tepito Rapper to Stand Trial in 2022 Mexico City Kidnapping

After his extradition from Spain, the court imposed preventive detention and set a three‑month window for prosecutors to finish their investigation.

Overview

  • Yohan “N” was linked to process for aggravated kidnapping and is described in reports as a rapper and alleged member of La Unión Tepito.
  • The case stems from a July 1, 2022 abduction at a shopping mall in Cuauhtémoc where the victim was assaulted and relatives were pressed for a 250,000‑peso ransom.
  • Prosecutors say evidence ties the suspect to threatening messages, photographs and videos sent to the victim’s family to coerce payment.
  • Intelligence work led authorities to Spain, prompting an Interpol red notice and diplomatic steps by Mexico’s FGR that secured his detention abroad and extradition.
  • Police of Investigation executed the judicial order at Mexico City’s airport on October 30, and the suspect is held at Reclusorio Preventivo Varonil Oriente under preventive custody.
