Overview
- Four warrant-based raids in Santiago de Querétaro led to six arrests, including Ramón “N” alias “El Moncho,” identified as a leader of the Los Lavadora cell.
- Officials say El Moncho coordinated violent cargo theft and the abduction of truck drivers along the Mexico–Querétaro highway.
- In separate operations, José Gabriel “N” was detained in Zapopan as an alleged jefe de plaza, and Luis Ignacio Cárdenas was arrested in Tepic as a regional operator tied to trafficking logistics and finance.
- Authorities reported seizing firearms, ammunition, suspected narcotics, vehicles, electronic devices and, in Querétaro, a trailer allegedly used for illicit activities.
- All detainees were presented to federal prosecutors, with investigations ongoing under a coordinated strategy involving Semar, SSPC, Sedena, the National Guard, FGR, CNI and state authorities.
