In Morelos, Gared Emmanuel “N” was sentenced to 22 years and six months for aggravated extortion involving threats against a victim and their business. In Oaxaca, two men, Guillermo R. S. J. and Juan H., received a combined sentence of 157 years and six months for an aggravated kidnapping case from 2011 that resulted in the victim's death.
