Overview
- Federal agents from the Policía Federal Ministerial and the Agencia de Investigación Criminal arrested Jhovany Aguirre Benítez in Hermosillo and presented him to a federal judge.
- A juez de control linked Aguirre Benítez to process and imposed prisión preventiva oficiosa to be served at Centro Federal de Reinserción Social No. 1, Altiplano.
- The Ministerio Público Federal attached to the Fiscalía Especializada en materia de Delincuencia Organizada supplied the evidence the judge used to order the preventive detention.
- The case stems from a complaint filed in January 2023 alleging the deprivation of liberty of 12 people and the court set a two-month period for complementary investigation.
- Authorities say Aguirre Benítez is linked to La Familia Michoacana and the preventive detention keeps him in custody during pretrial proceedings in a high-security federal facility.
