The confrontation registered in Tuzantla, Michoacán, with a balance of eight people dead, occurred as a consequence of the dispute between two factions of The Michoacan Family who are fighting for control of that region, affirmed the undersecretary of Public Security and Citizen Protection, Ricardo Mejía Berdeja. In that entity, six people were arrested for the police and military deployment, analyzing their possible connection.
During the presidential conference, the official also reported that the corresponding control court denied early yesterday morning the link to a trial for federal crime of José Bernabé N, alias Cow, who is the main instigator of violence in the state of Colima and who was arrested in Mexico City in flagrante delicto. He stated that the decision will be appealed, but that for now he will remain in prison because he faces other causes of common law, such as murder.
In this context, Mejía Berdeja defended the importance of informal preventive detention because it is always a permanent battle of all these security forces and, above all, thinking of the victims; it is unfair that after this effort is made then they are released
. She was on the verge that in this case she would have freed herself. The fight against impunity does not end with arrests and deployments, one must always be aware of criminal proceedings until they result in sentences.
Similarly, he highlighted as another case of preventive detention the decision of the court in the process that follows the former Attorney General of the Republic, Jesús Murillo Karam, who was determined to be in this modality to face the trial for forced disappearance, torture and responsibility in the administration of justice for the case of the Ayotzinapa normalistas.
Stopped, cape 20
In another order, confirmed the arrest of David N, alias cape 20, a leader of the Arellano Felix cartel in Baja California, for his responsibility as the intellectual author of the murder of journalist Margarito Martínez, which occurred in Tijuana last January. He was apprehended in Apodaca, Nuevo León. He is the head of a cell of the criminal organization of the Arellano Félix, in addition to one of its territorial leaders and he, in principle, belonged to the Jalisco cartel New generation.
Finally, Mejía Berdeja referred to the painful case of Flor Abigail Hay Urrutia, who allegedly committed suicide on the premises of a civic court after an argument with her partner. The cause of death was by hanging with his underwear, but the State Attorney General’s Office obtained arrest warrants against the judge, the police commander of Salina Cruz, Oaxaca, and two members of the corporation, in principle, for his negligent responsibility, for not fulfilling his duty of care, although it remains to be determined whether it was suicide or in fact it was a homicide.
