A Mexican judge ordered Héctor “N” to face proceedings over his possible involvement in operations involving illicitly sourced funds.

The Federal Attorney General’s Office said security officials detained him while he was driving on the Mexico City-Cuernavaca highway toward Mexico City. During the operation, authorities found a partially open backpack on the passenger seat containing 747,000 pesos.

The suspect could not demonstrate the money’s lawful origin, the authorities said. Prosecutors from the Federal Attorney General’s Office in Mexico City presented enough evidence for the judge to issue the order linking him to the proceedings.

The judge gave prosecutors four months to carry out a complementary investigation.
