The man arrested for his alleged involvement in the disappearance of the five young men in Lagos de Moreno turned out to be one of the most wanted members of the Jalisco Cartel – New Generation (CJNG) in Los Altos and therefore has special surveillance in prison.
He is Rogelio “M,” alias “El Roy,” who appears in the top ranks of the structure that operates in the Altos Norte and Altos Sur regions, according to the organizational chart that Guacamaya Leaks hacked from the Sedena in 2022, based on the hierarchical diagram of the criminal group.
The subject, according to sources from the Jalisco Prosecutor’s Office, could be related to other cases of deprivation of liberty in Lagos de Moreno and its surroundings.
The Ministerial Police captured him on Thursday, September 28 on J. Jesus Lopez Alvarez Street, near the intersection of the Lagos de Moreno-San Juan de los Lagos Highway.
“El Roy” – slim, 1.80 meters tall and with Santa Muerte or Holy Death, Saint Death tattoos on his neck and arm – is being held in custody at the Regional Integral Justice Center, where he is under focused surveillance.
Authorities link him to crimes of disappearances, mainly in the case of his friends Roberto, Jaime, Uriel, Dante and Diego, who have not been located.
Yesterday, the Prosecutor’s Office announced the arrest of Celestino “M”, also linked to the case of the five friends. The subject was identified as one of the participants and an arrest warrant was served on him.
Following the capture of “El Roy”, the investigation has leaned towards the hypothesis that members of the CJNG were involved in the disappearance, registered on August 11, and not those of the Sinaloa Cartel.
At the farm where a video of the youths was recorded, the letters MZ — associated with Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada — were found painted on the walls, but the initials CJNG were also discovered, which appeared to have been erased.
In the search for the five boys, the Special Prosecutor’s Office for Missing Persons has found the remains of at least seven people in Colonia Orillas del Agua.
The brothers Emanuel and Enhau “A”, as well as Valentin “S”, were arrested for these last cases. Celestino would also be related to these findings.
