Kidnapped Transport Leader Found Alive in State of Mexico as Three Suspects Detained

Prosecutors say investigative work led to the recovery following days of highway blockades.

Overview

  • State prosecutors reported that Fernando Galindo Salvador, 69, was located alive and in apparent good health after his October 30 abduction in Jilotepec.
  • Three people were detained in the case, including a suspect identified as Nery “N” alias “El Moto,” whom authorities link to a criminal group from Michoacán.
  • The Fiscalía stated that the detained suspect allegedly worked to “align” taxi drivers in Jilotepec, Soyaniquilpan and Acambay by depriving their leaders of liberty.
  • Transport leaders suspended a planned November 6 megamarch and blockades after the recovery was confirmed, saying they now seek clarification and support for their colleague.
  • The investigation was coordinated with the State of Mexico’s Security Secretariat, and officials note other recent disappearances of transport workers in the region, two of whom were previously rescued alive.
