Gladys «N», alias «La Patrona», arrested for international cocaine trafficking

The Federal Attorney General's Office (FGR) has arrested Gladys «N», known as «La Patrona», in Atizapán de Zaragoza, Estado de México. She is suspected of being a logistics operator for an international cocaine trafficking network that distributes drugs to the United States, Europe, and Australia.

Investigations revealed the organization used a specialized method of chemically impregnating cocaine into clothing and fabrics to bypass customs and airport security. The narcotics were then shipped via international air parcel services.

In related operations, the FGR executed three search warrants in Jiutepec, Morelos, and in the cities of Colima and Villa de Álvarez, Colima. During these searches, authorities seized a long firearm, computers, digital storage devices, and documentation linked to the trafficking network. The suspect has been transferred to the state of Colima to face judicial proceedings.
