Gladys «N» arrested in Mexico for international cocaine trafficking

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

Authorities report that the criminal organization utilized a specialized method of chemically impregnating cocaine into clothing and fabrics to bypass customs and airport security. The illicit substances were then shipped via international air parcel services.

In related operations, the FGR executed three search warrants in Jiutepec, Morelos, and in the municipalities of Colima capital and Villa de Álvarez, Colima. During these searches, investigators seized a long firearm, computers, digital storage devices, and various documents linked to drug trafficking. Gladys «N» has been placed at the disposal of judicial authorities in the state of Colima.
