Elements of the Secretariat of the Navy and the Specialized Prosecutor’s Office for Organized Crime (FEMDO), captured in Guadalajara an alleged leader of a criminal cell, dedicated to the sale of apocryphal medicines and the illegal trade of controlled medicines.
In a press release issued on Wednesday afternoon, the Semar informed that the arrest was made in a house located in the Panorámica Huentitán neighborhood in the capital of Jalisco, where on August 23 an operation was carried out by the federal authorities.
During the deployment of the agents, various oncological drugs were seized, as well as fentanyl-active substances, with an approximate value in the illegal market of ten million Mexican pesos.
They also seized cardboard forms (to assemble boxes of medicines), instruction sheets for their application and labels with seals of authenticity, whose value in the market, if sold, would be approximately more than one hundred million pesos.
In addition to handguns, cartridges for firearms for the exclusive use of the Armed Forces, colored wrappers containing cocaine and methamphetamine, money, cell phones and a vehicle.
The FEMDO will continue with the investigations to find the whereabouts of other people related to this case.
On that date, Navy officers conducted a series of investigations in support of personnel from the Attorney General’s Office, including one at the confluence of Volcán Sajama and Volcán Miravelles, as well as at other sites in the city, but the results of these investigations have not been known until now.
