Jesús Gabriel Pérez Linked to García Luna's Financial Network; Accused of Embezzlement

A judge has ordered Jesús Gabriel Pérez Rodríguez to stand trial for his alleged involvement in criminal association and embezzlement. Investigations by the Specialized Prosecutor's Office in Organized Crime (FEMDO) suggest Pérez Rodríguez is connected to a financial engineering scheme purportedly established by Genaro García Luna, the former Secretary of Public Security.

This network allegedly involved public servants, individuals, and corporations, forming a complex structure of shell companies. These entities were possibly controlled by a criminal organization to launder illicit gains. Pérez Rodríguez was arrested in 2025, but subsequent legal actions led to a partial repetition of the initial hearing.

The Federal Public Ministry presented evidence to secure the trial order, justify preventive detention, and establish a one-month period for complementary investigation. The investigation details a financial engineering plan created by García Luna, comprising four groups of public servants, individuals, and legal entities.

This structure allegedly used a company to enter into simulated contracts with the Decentralized Administrative Body for Prevention and Social Readaptation (OADPRS). Through these purported services, which lacked actual materialization, illicit funds were obtained. Once the money was received, a complex network of shell companies, controlled by a criminal organization, was used to launder the illicit profits.
