Major blow to La Familia Michoacana as 'El Padrino' and key associates arrested in a coordinated operation by Mexico City authorities. Seized firearms, drugs, and wildlife. The crackdown underscores commitment to curb organized crime expansion in the capital.
In a significant breakthrough for law enforcement, the alleged leader of a criminal cell associated with La Familia Michoacana, known by the alias “El Padrino,” was apprehended in the Tláhuac mayor's office. The arrest was part of a series of coordinated actions involving the Secretariat of Citizen Security (SSC), the Attorney General's Office (FGJ), the Navy, and the National Intelligence Center (CNI).
The operation, which took place on Adalberto Tejeda street in the Los Olivos neighborhood, unfolded dramatically as SSC officers engaged in a pursuit with El Padrino's associates. The apprehension resulted in the confiscation of a firearm, eight useful cartridges, another box with 13 cartridges of varying calibers, two cell phones, and plastic bags containing suspected crystal meth.
