Elements of the Army and the PGR captured 10 persons allegedly linked to the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion and other criminal organizations, who are dedicated to money laundering of said criminal groups in Mexico City.

At the moment of their capture they were found with $10,510,000.00, the equivalent of 206,000,000.00 Mexican Pesos. Israel Lira Salas, functionary of SEIDO, mentioned that 6 of the detained were of Chinese origin and the rest were Mexican.

The detention, explained the functionary, derived from search warrants that were issued on the 26th and 28th of May for several houses in Mexico City, where personnel from the Army and SEIDO captured the 10 persons.




Also, they confiscated 6 estates, a 9mm firearm, 10 vehicles, of which 5 contained compartments for hiding objects, as well as various financial documents. The state prosecutor said that the detained were presented before a Judge from the capital city, who heard charges of organized crime with the proceeds of illicit origin, as well as violation of the Federal law of firearms and explosives.

The Judge gave four weeks to the PGR to complete the investigation, the suspects were imprisoned in the Relusorio Preventativo Norte in City of Mexico. Participating in the investigation will be the Investigative Unit of Financial Intelligence and the Secretary of Housing and the Federal Police.
