  • - A man identified as a member of the H1A1 criminal cell, linked to La Familia Michoacana, has been ordered to stand trial.
  • He was arrested in possession of drugs and a firearm.
  • The suspect faces charges related to drug trafficking and organized crime.

A judge has ordered a trial for a man identified as a member of the H1A1 criminal cell, which is reportedly connected to La Familia Michoacana and operates in the Iztacalco and Iztapalapa boroughs of Mexico City. The suspect, identified as Mario "N," was apprehended on July 13 by officers from the Secretariat of Citizen Security.

During a search, authorities seized various doses of drugs, a firearm, five cartridges, and two cell phones from Mario "N." The Mexico City Attorney General's Office (FGJ CDMX) stated that the suspect faces charges for crimes against public health, specifically drug dealing, after prosecutors presented sufficient evidence for the judicial authority to initiate criminal proceedings.

Investigations suggest Mario "N" is allegedly involved in criminal activities including extortion, kidnapping, drug dealing, criminal association, and illicit enrichment. The judge has imposed a pre-trial detention measure and set a one-month period for the complementary investigation.

The firearm seized falls under federal jurisdiction, and the case will be transferred to the Attorney General's Office of the Republic (FGR) for further investigation. The FGJ CDMX continues its efforts to identify and dismantle violent criminal groups operating in the capital.
