Overview

  • Between August 16 and 17, Nuevo León’s specialized feminicides prosecutor executed search warrants at three Colonia Roble Nuevo addresses in General Escobedo
  • Investigators recovered two replica long guns, doses of marijuana and crystal meth, DVRs, cellphones, a digital scale and financial ledgers marked with promissory notes
  • One of the targeted properties was the home of Toque Divino, the informal 'tandas' operator that financed the liposuction resulting in Jaqueline’s death
  • Prosecutors have classified the seized weapons and narcotics as crimes against health, signalling an expansion of charges beyond medical malpractice
  • No arrests have been reported and authorities say the inquiry will continue to pursue both criminal and regulatory violations
