These incidents involve the apprehension of long-term fugitives in Mexico for crimes committed years prior.

In one case, authorities in San Luis Potosí arrested Ernesto ‘N’, who had evaded capture for over a decade. He was wanted for the 2014 killing of his 17-year-old ex-partner in Veracruz, a case classified as femicide.

In a separate international operation, Maria Narez was arrested in Mexico following a 30-year period as a fugitive. Narez faces capital murder charges in Tarrant County, Texas, regarding the 1996 death of her daughter. The arrest was conducted through collaboration between Mexican Interpol and several U.S. law enforcement agencies, with extradition proceedings to Texas pending.
