30 suspected members of Los Beltrán Leyva are processed, including 'El Flaco'
A federal judge has linked 30 individuals, including Diego Salazar 'El Flaco', to organized crime related to the Beltrán Leyva cartel in Querétaro, Mexico.
In a significant legal development in Mexico, a federal judge has processed 30 individuals associated with the criminal organization Los Salazar, closely linked to the notorious Beltrán Leyva cartel. Among those processed is Diego Salazar, also known as Luis Gustavo Agapito Millán, who is identified as a presumed leader within the group. This action marks a crucial step in the ongoing efforts by Mexican authorities to dismantle narcotics-related crime syndicates operating in various states, including Querétaro.
The Federal Attorney General's Office (FGR) has charged these individuals with serious offenses, particularly for their suspected involvement in drug-related crimes, specifically possession for sale, and violations of the Federal Law on Firearms and Explosive Substances. The charges underscore the critical issue of drug trafficking and its associated violence in Mexico, as authorities continue to target the financial and operational structures of these criminal groups heavily affecting public safety.
The arrests were conducted during 12 simultaneous searches in Querétaro, executed by the Federal Ministerial Police in collaboration with the Criminal Investigation Agency (AIC). This highly coordinated operation reflects the Mexican government's commitment to combating organized crime, although challenges remain as criminal organizations adapt and evolve in response to law enforcement strategies.
