Overview
- In Mexico a federal judge linked Gilda Susana Lozoya to the Agronitrogenados money‑laundering case but left her on conditional liberty and gave prosecutors four months for complementary investigation after rejecting the FGR’s request for prisión preventiva.
- A judge in Veracruz on Friday linked eight people to the June 2 abduction and killing of journalist Roxana Guzmán and ordered obligatory preventive prison for the suspects, including alleged Grupo Sombra leaders and four active municipal police.
- In Santa Fe, Argentina prosecutors charged six officers over the January custody death of Mauro González and a judge ordered four of them to remain in preventive detention while two received alternative measures.
- Peruvian authorities have sought 18 months of preventive detention for Jackson Mora and eight co‑accused in an alleged S/9.9 million municipal cyber‑fraud case, and Dirincri operations have led to separate arrests of three PNP subofficers accused of a kidnapping‑extortion scheme in Lima.
- Investigations continue in related violent cases — including the discovery of eight bodies in Chiapas and the killing of a former FGE police coordinator in Morelia — underscoring prosecutors’ focus on links between organized crime, corrupt officials and abuses by police and prompting closer interagency and forensic work.
