Man arrested in Puebla accused of defrauding car renters for ride-sharing services

Puebla's ministerial police have apprehended Yoltic Mikhail "N," a suspect facing numerous complaints for allegedly defrauding citizens through car rentals intended for ride-sharing applications. The arrest occurred in the San Baltazar Campeche neighborhood of Puebla city, where the suspect had gone to attend his grandmother's funeral after being a fugitive from justice.

Since 2019, Yoltic Mikhail "N" is accused of renting vehicles from private owners to operate them on the DiDi platform. Initially, he reportedly made timely payments to both car owners and drivers. However, he is alleged to have later ceased fulfilling his financial obligations while retaining possession of the rented vehicles.

It is estimated that at least 50 individuals were victimized by this modus operandi. Reports indicate that the suspect frequently threatened his victims, falsely claiming to be a leader within the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) to intimidate them.

Following criminal complaints filed by several affected parties, an arrest warrant was issued for Yoltic Mikhail "N." He had been evading law enforcement, reportedly moving between various states across the country before his capture.
