Oaxaca authorities arrest criminal leader “El Semáforo”
Mexican federal forces, including the Navy (Semar), the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC), and the Attorney General's Office (FGR), arrested Carlos “N”, known as “El Semáforo,” in San Juan Bautista Tuxtepec, Oaxaca. Authorities identify him as a regional leader for a criminal organization active in Oaxaca and Veracruz, and as the successor to Iván “N,” alias “El Tanque.”
During the operation, Ana Gabriela “N,” a suspected logistics operator for the group, was also detained. Authorities seized weapons, grenades, four vehicles, six motorcycles, two ATVs, and illicit substances. The estimated value of the seized assets is 8,837,000 pesos. The suspects were transferred to Mexico City to be placed at the disposal of the Public Ministry.
This arrest follows the detention of other high-ranking members and is part of a broader effort to dismantle criminal structures involved in kidnappings and homicides in the Veracruz-Boca del Río and San Andrés Tuxtla regions.
