Mexico City. The investigations into the murder of two aides of the head of government, Clara Brugada, made it possible to locate and arrest in Yautepec, Morelos, Jovany “N”, an alleged member of the criminal cell linked to the attack, the Attorney General’s Office reported.
In a statement, the agency detailed that the capture was the result of the exchange of information and the intelligence work carried out with the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC), the Secretariat of Citizen Security (SSC), and the National Intelligence Center (CNI).
