A heavy police and military deployment took place on Gonzalitos Avenue, specifically at the State Investigation Agency. Why was a high-profile criminal being transferred? Agustín Martínez has all the details on the matter. Go ahead, Agustín.
Certainly, Luis Carlos. Good afternoon, colleagues. Indeed, a heavy police and military deployment took place this morning—just moments ago, in fact—at the State Investigation Agency building on Gonzalitos Avenue here in Monterrey.
The entire operation centered on the custody and transfer of a dangerous criminal: the alleged leader of a criminal cell that, for years—quite some time ago now—operated across the states of Coahuila, Nuevo León, and Tamaulipas.
This individual was apprehended last Tuesday in Naranjos, Veracruz, following intelligence work and tactical operations carried out by authorities at various levels.
These actions were spearheaded by personnel from the Secretariat of National Defense, working in coordination with Nuevo León’s *Fuerza Civil*, the Investigation Agency, the State Attorney General’s Office, and—naturally—authorities from Veracruz as well.
According to the information released so far, the operation involved the transfer of an individual identified as Jaime N. He goes by the aliases “Comandante Caquino” or “Comandante Román,” and is the alleged ringleader of an organized crime cell that operated in the aforementioned states.
It is worth noting that, after being captured in Naranjos, Veracruz, last Tuesday, this individual was transported to Nuevo León and detained—for the purposes of observation and custody—at the State Investigation Agency building here in Monterrey.
Well, today, at approximately 10:15 a.m., a sizable contingent—escorted by personnel from *Fuerza Civil*, the National Guard, the Army, and the Investigation Agency—carried out the transfer of this suspect to a correctional facility in Apodaca. It should be mentioned that this individual has been detained on previous occasions here in this state.
Jaime N. went into hiding in the Monterrey metropolitan area in mid-2011 after being identified as a member of a kidnapping ring operating in the region. Well, today, at approximately 10:15 a.m., a large contingent—escorted by officers from the Fuerza Civil, the National Guard, the Army, and the Investigation Agency—carried out the transfer of this suspect to a correctional facility in Apodaca.
It should be mentioned that this individual had previously been detained on other occasions here in the state. Jaime N. went into hiding in the Monterrey metropolitan area in mid-2011 after being identified as a member of a kidnapping ring operating in the municipalities of San Nicolás and Escobedo.
At that time, he was incarcerated at the Topo Chico prison, where—according to reports—he began to lead the inmate self-governance structure and exert control over illicit activities within the facility. In 2017, riots broke out at that penitentiary as part of inmate protests regarding the conditions imposed by the alleged criminal leader.
Consequently, people traveling or moving through the vicinity of the police agency building here on Gonzalitos Avenue this morning were taken aback by the heavy security deployment. Nearby streets were even briefly closed to allow for the passage of the convoy, which turned around near Paseo de los Leones Avenue and headed north—traveling along Gonzalitos, Fidel Velázquez, and other avenues—until reaching the Laredo Highway (the road to Salinas Victoria) and, finally, the Apodaca penitentiary complex.
It was there that Jaime N.—alias “Comandante Caquino” or “Comandante Román”—was incarcerated; according to reports, he had operated on behalf of a criminal organization several years ago. here in Nuevo León, primarily extending into the neighboring states of Coahuila and Tamaulipas.
