Los Cromos criminal group members arrested in Mexico
Authorities in Mexico have made several arrests linked to the criminal group 'Los Cromos,' which is reportedly associated with the Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG).
In Oaxaca, two individuals, identified as E. B. P. (alias 'Bolán') and G. C. L., were detained for their alleged involvement in an armed attack and extortion attempt against textile designer and activist Elvis Guerra in Juchitán de Zaragoza. Investigators state that 'Bolán' fired at the residence of the designer, who had previously been recognized for his work for President Claudia Sheinbaum. The group had allegedly demanded a transfer of 60,000 pesos via a threatening message.
Separately, Iván Sánchez Santiago, known as 'Comandante Cromo,' was apprehended in Guadalajara, Jalisco, following intelligence operations by the Navy and the National Intelligence Center. Sánchez Santiago, identified as a leader of the 'Los Cromos' cell, has been placed in pretrial detention at the Altiplano maximum-security prison. He faces charges related to drug possession and the illegal possession of firearms, and holds three outstanding arrest warrants for qualified homicide.
