Mexico City Orders Trial for Alleged Tláhuac Cartel Members

Prosecutors in Mexico City have ordered a trial for two individuals, Iván 'N' and Eduardo 'N', accused of belonging to the Tláhuac Cartel. The charges include drug dealing, bribery, and possession of ammunition intended exclusively for military use. According to the prosecution's statement, the arrests occurred on July 16, and during the apprehension, the suspects attempted to bribe arresting officers with a vehicle and 40,000 pesos (approximately $2,287 USD). The investigation indicates that these individuals are part of a cartel cell allegedly led by Miguel 'N', alias MK, who is the son of 'El Ojos,' the former leader of the Tláhuac Cartel until his death in 2017. Eduardo 'N' is believed to be a key financial administrator for MK, while Iván 'N' handled operational tasks related to distribution and collections. The Tláhuac Cartel, operating in eastern Mexico City and the State of Mexico, has recently faced territorial disputes with the powerful Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG).
