Mexico City Prosecutor Links 'El Diente de Oro' to Human Trafficking Charges

Authorities in Mexico City have brought charges against Yosthan “N,” nicknamed “El Diente de Oro,” for his alleged involvement in human trafficking. The Mexico City Attorney General's Office (Fiscalía CDMX) stated that the victim, a sex worker, reported that the accused demanded a weekly payment of 2,000 pesos, using verbal and phone threats. She also alleged he followed her on multiple occasions to maintain control. The investigation began after the victim filed a complaint on July 22, 2026. The Public Ministry coordinated interviews and other investigative actions, leading to an arrest warrant for “El Diente de Oro.” The prosecution also noted his possible connection to the Venezuelan criminal organization “Tren de Aragua,” which is implicated in various crimes including sexual exploitation, extortion, homicide, kidnapping, and migrant trafficking, with a reported presence in several Mexico City boroughs. Police apprehended the suspect on July 30 at a hospital in the Miguel Hidalgo borough. The following day, a judge ordered him to stand trial, imposed pretrial detention, and set a three-month period for the complementary investigation. Yosthan “N” maintains his innocence, as is his right under Mexican law, until a definitive sentence is issued by the competent judicial body.
