Three individuals, including a mother and her two children, have been linked to the homicide of Carlos Manzo and face charges related to health crimes and illegal possession of weapons in Mexico.
Three individuals named Marcelina 'A', Salvador 'B', and María Magdalena 'B' have been formally processed in connection with the murder of Carlos Manzo, a former municipal leader, after their recent capture in Tarímbaro, Michoacán. The trio faces charges for health crimes, particularly possession with intent to trade, as well as illegal possession of military-grade weapons. The arrests occurred over the weekend, and an initial hearing took place the following day.
The authorities in Michoacán have indicated that these individuals are indirectly linked to the homicide of Carlos Manzo, allegedly operating within a faction of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. Speculation surrounds their relationship with René 'B', known as El Rhino, who is said to be a key figure within the cartel and the son of Marcelina 'A'. He had been apprehended by local police a couple of months prior to Manzo's murder, raising questions about the cartel's influence and operations in the region.
The case illustrates the ongoing violence in Michoacán attributed to cartel activities, highlighting the significant challenges law enforcement faces in combating organized crime. With health crime charges levied against the suspects, the legal proceedings will delve into the criminal networks at play, potentially uncovering deeper connections within the cartel and shedding light on the broader implications for community safety in the area.
