Cancun, Q.R. — A man wanted in Cancun for fraud in excess of $500,000 USD has been captured in Spain. The State Attorney General (FGE) says Luis Jorge “N”, who had an Interpol red notice, was arrested after being on the run since last year.
State Attorney General Raciel López Salazar said Monday that Luis Jorge “N” was arrested in Madrid, Spain in coordination with Interpol. He was taken into custody on an outstanding warrant after defrauding people out of millions.
His arrest was the result of coordination with the International Police Affairs Unit (Interpol) Mexico and Interpol Spain after being a fugitive since 2025.
“Luis Jorge “N” is accused of events that occurred starting October 15, 2025, in Cancun. The investigations establish that Luis Jorge “N” presented himself as a successful businessman and investor.
“He projected an image of economic solvency through the use of luxury clothing, high-end vehicles, and supposedly highly profitable businesses.
“Under this pretext, he solicited loans from his victims, promising to repay them within a month with interest. As apparent collateral, he provided documentation related to luxury vehicles, which actually belonged to a leasing company and over which he had no legal right,” López Salazar reported Monday.
“Once he had gained the trust of the victims, he would request new loans for millions of dollars, again committing to make payments within certain deadlines, however, upon the expiration of these, he would fail to meet the agreed obligations and stop responding to the victims.”
López Salazar said based on legal complaints filed against Luis Jorge “N” by his victims, an investigation into fraud was started. He is accused of milking his victims out of more than nine million pesos or approximately $520,000 USD.
State officials said given his evasion of justice, he was tracked down in Madrid, Spain and arrested by Spanish police. He is being extradited back to Mexico to face charges of generic fraud.
