“The now sentenced person is Ángel Conrado “N” who was the sentimental partner of the victim who disappeared from the home where they lived with the family of the accused on June 22, 2020.
“A day later he (Ángel Conrado “N”) filed a complaint for the disappearance of his ex-partner for which on that date, the Amber Alert and the Alba Protocol were issued for her whereabouts.
“The investigations, in the field and office, established that Ángel Conrado “N” lied to evade his responsibility at the time of filing the complaint for her disappearance, since he was the one who participated in the events.
“After analyzing all the evidence provided by the Public Ministry, the Oral Trial Judge issued the 50 year prison sentence for Ángel Conrado “N”. In addition, he must pay the amount of a 695,040 pesos fine and was sentenced to repair damages in a comprehensive manner, which will be quantifiable at the stage of execution of the sentence,” the Fiscalía General del Estado (FGE) said.
