During an initial hearing held in private at the request of the Attorney General’s Office (FGR), A control judge imposed informal preventive detention on Édgar ‘N’, alias “El Limones”.
It will be next week when it is determined if it is linked to the process for the crimes of collecting and carrying firearms, possession of cartridges and magazines, as well as crimes against health in the form of drug trafficking.

The FGR reported that it managed to get the judge of the Federal Criminal Justice Center of Almoloya de Juárez, State of Mexico, to consider the detention of Rodríguez Ortiz legal, who will remain held in the Altiplano maximum security prison while the investigations continue.
FGR accuses “El Limones” of being a financial operator of Los Cabrera and an ally of the Sinaloa Cartel
The agency indicates him as an alleged financial operator of “Los Cabrera” of the Sinaloa Cartel and leader of the CATEM union group. He indicated that when the hearing resumed after a suspension, the Public Ministry of the case requested the link to the process, but the defense of “El Limones” took advantage of the duplicity of the constitutional term so that its legal situation could be resolved, which will occur next week.
Ministerial investigations indicate that, together with the “Los Herrera” family from the municipality of Gómez Palacio, Durango, and the “Sinaloa Cartel”, they possibly finance criminal cells in Torreón, Coahuila.
For his part, the governor of Durango, Esteban Villegas, assured that no one can deny that Édgar “N”, “El Limones”, arrested last Wednesday in the state, for allegedly belonging to the Los Cabrera criminal group and operating an extortion network in La Laguna, belonged to the Autonomous Confederation of Workers and Employees of Mexico (CATEM).
“No one can say that he was not from the CATEM. We all agree on that. The truth is that it is something unusual because all of us who live here know that he was from the CATEM, well, they even had meetings with the Confederation when they wanted to start and in La Laguna they sort of cloistered themselves, stayed and unfortunately fell into bad practices,” he commented.
