Overview
- Federal and state forces led by SEMAR, SEDENA, SSPC and the FGR arrested Edgar “N” following an intelligence operation supported by the CNI.
- Authorities say the detainee acted as a plaza chief and managed finances for Los Cabrera, a faction linked in reporting to the Sinaloa cartel.
- UIF analysis identified unexplained multi‑million‑peso deposits, transfers to suspected front companies and luxury asset purchases used to support the warrants.
- Court‑authorized actions in properties across Coahuila and Durango led to multiple arrests and the seizure of long guns, a grenade and tactical gear.
- Officials framed the case as part of the National Strategy against Extortion, while CATEM’s leader publicly denied any organizational tie to the detainee.
