Overview

• Agents of the Policía de Investigación arrested Alfredo N in Colonia Coapa on July 19 and moved him to Reclusorio Norte pending trial under preventive detention.
• During a control hearing, the Ministerio Público presented evidence that persuaded a judge to formally charge him with fraud and set a one-month deadline to complete the investigation.
• The probe dates back to the first complaint on July 29, 2020, when a couple paid a 400,000-peso check for a property that was never delivered.
• Investigators have tied the same scheme to 84 fraud cases orchestrated through a fake real estate agency in Colonia Juárez.
• The Fiscalía General de Justicia de la Ciudad de México has vowed to intensify patrimonial crime investigations in response to a rise in real estate scams.
