Cancun, Quintana Roo — The Federal Prosecutor’s Office (FGR) in Quintana Roo has obtained formal charges against three men in two separate firearms cases in Cozumel and Cancun, following investigations initiated by the state prosecutor’s office.
In the first case, state police officers arrested Francisco “N” on Avenida Sur Bis in Cozumel. He was turned over to federal prosecutors along with a firearm, a magazine, and 15 cartridges. After reviewing the evidence, a federal judge ordered him held in pretrial detention at the Benito Juárez prison and set a two-month period for the completion of the supplementary investigation.
