  • Sonora authorities arrested three individuals in Hermosillo wanted by Nayarit for alleged fraud.
  • The suspects are accused of defrauding a company by failing to fulfill commitments for agricultural production and commercialization of export crops.
  • The detainees were handed over to Nayarit authorities for prosecution, with Sonora's prosecutor's office emphasizing its role was limited to executing arrest warrants.

Sonora's Attorney General's Office (FGJE) arrested three people in Hermosillo who were wanted by Nayarit authorities for their alleged involvement in fraud. The arrests were made in compliance with arrest warrants issued by a Nayarit judge, as part of a collaborative operation between the two states' prosecutor offices.

The individuals apprehended have been identified as Gildardo โ€œN,โ€ 73; Jesรบs Gildardo โ€œNโ€; and Evelyn Gisselle โ€œN,โ€ 25. The detentions occurred in the Puerta Real subdivision and La Manga neighborhood in Hermosillo. According to the investigation initiated in Nayarit, the accused allegedly obtained financial resources and agricultural supplies from a company by making commitments related to the production and marketing of export crops.

However, after receiving the resources, the suspects reportedly failed to uphold their agreements, ceased communication with the affected company, and retained both the harvest and the obtained assets, causing financial damage. The FGJE reported that elements of the Ministerial Agency for Criminal Investigation (AMIC) executed the arrest warrants on June 25.

Subsequently, the three detainees were transferred to agents of the State Investigation Agency of Nayarit to be presented before the Control Judge who requested their apprehension. The Sonora prosecutor's office clarified that its involvement was restricted to fulfilling the institutional collaboration request. Therefore, the compilation of the investigation file, the criminal proceedings, and the legal resolution for the accused fall exclusively under the purview of Nayarit's ministerial and judicial authorities.

Finally, the Sonora Prosecutor's Office reiterated its commitment to coordinating with other state prosecutor offices to execute judicial orders, asserting that Sonora "will not be a refuge for fugitives from justice."
