A criminal judge sentenced Marco Antonio “N”, El Comandante, leader of the criminal group La Mano con Ojos, to 27 years and six months in prison for his alleged participation in a homicide that occurred in September 2011 in the Miguel Hidalgo district.
Ulises Lara, spokesman for the Attorney General’s Office, explained that the conviction against El Comandante stems from an investigation in which this individual and other individuals, who were supposedly wearing uniforms of the now defunct Federal Police, shot a man to death inside a restaurant located in the Los Morales neighborhood.
“According to the investigation, on September 21, 2011, the victim and a companion arrived at the restaurant, El Comandante along with several people, some of them wearing uniforms of the Federal Police and carrying high caliber firearms, known as goat horns (AK-47 rifles), arrived at the establishment”.
“Subsequently, the alleged uniformed men approached the victim, who warned that they were not federal police due to the weapons they were carrying, immediately they a struggle began and the victim was killed with gunshots,” he said in a message to the media.
In addition to the sentence of more than 27 years in prison that he will serve in the North Prison, Hernandez Garcia will have to pay reparations for damages to an indirect victim of the homicide.
The official said that El Comandante took over the leadership of La Mano con Ojos after the arrest of Oscar Oswaldo aka El Compayito, one of the founders and leaders of the organization.
He added that in March 2012, elements of the then Attorney General’s Office detained Marco “N” in the vicinity of the Villa Olímpica neighborhood when he was traveling in a high-end vehicle “following several homicides whose victims were mutilated, in some cases incinerated and abandoned in different parts of the capital,” the spokesman explained.
