Former State of Mexico official arrested, accused of selling government jobs

Óscar Guzmán Aragón, who previously served as the Undersecretary of Administration for the State of Mexico during Alfredo del Mazo's governorship, has been detained. His arrest occurred at his residence in Residencial Condado del Valle, Metepec.

Guzmán Aragón is reportedly linked to a scheme involving the illicit sale of public administration jobs within the state government. Information from the National Registry of Detentions indicates his alleged involvement in this network.

Sources within the State of Mexico's General Prosecutor's Office (FGJEM) revealed that at least nine arrest warrants have been issued. These warrants follow a series of investigations into the fraudulent sale of positions within the Secretariat of Education, Science, Technology, and Innovation of the State of Mexico.

Authorities expect the detained individuals to be brought to the central building of the Prosecutor's Office in the coming hours for certification. The investigation targets a significant corruption scheme that allegedly exploited the hiring process for state positions.
