Investigations indicate that Arredondo Soto headed a local group dedicated to kidnapping and drug trafficking, as well as the illegal trafficking of weapons from the United States to Mexico to be sold to members of organized crime.
The federal judge who sent them to trial ordered that both detainees remain under preventive detention in the Federal Center for Social Readaptation Number 1 “Altiplano”, in Almoloya de Juárez, State of Mexico, during the four months set for the complementary investigation.
