Reporting and context
A judge ordered criminal proceedings to continue against Valdemar “N” and Katia “N” over the alleged possession of firearms reserved for the armed forces following their arrest in Cancún, according to Noticaribe. Both will remain in mandatory pretrial detention while investigators complete the next stage of the case.
Noticaribe reported that Benito Juárez municipal police arrested the two in Supermanzana 247 and seized two firearms, two magazines and 33 live rounds. The federal Attorney General’s Office, or FGR, said its Quintana Roo prosecutors secured the ruling after presenting evidence to a control judge.
The federal investigation began with case materials referred by the state prosecutor’s office, along with the seized weapons and ammunition, to federal prosecutors assigned to the Specialized Regional Control Prosecutor’s Office, known as FECOR. The source describes that referral as having been made without detainees accompanying it; it separately reports the earlier municipal arrests.
The judge allowed one month to complete the supplementary investigation. That deadline governs the collection of further evidence as proceedings continue. The reported ruling advances the prosecution at this preliminary stage, with the weapons allegations remaining the basis of the ongoing case.
