Two Women Linked to Nuevo Imperio Cartel Arrested in Miguel Hidalgo Raid

Prosecutors say the court-approved search targets the gang's local retail network.

Overview

  • Investigators executed a judge-authorized search on January 21 in Colonia Cuauhtémoc Pensil, Miguel Hidalgo, with Policía de Investigación backed by the National Guard.
  • Blanca “N” and Noemi “N” were detained on alleged small-scale drug dealing offenses and were placed at the disposal of the Ministerio Público pending a legal determination.
  • Authorities seized bags with probable drugs, items used for drug sales, and a firearm from the searched property.
  • According to officials, the detainees stated they are romantic partners of jailed ex-leader Emmanuel “El Chanfle” and his son.
  • The case stems from citizen complaints about local drug distribution, and officials frame the action as part of a broader effort to weaken Nuevo Imperio operations in Mexico City and the State of Mexico.
