Cancun, Q.R. — Ariel Alejandro “N” will stand trial for the 2019 kidnapping of two men in the city of Cancun. According to police, one of the men was found dead after the ransom had been paid.
Police say Ariel Alejandro “N” was located and taken into custody in Mexico City in past days. He has since been returned to Cancun to face charges. He was arrested in collaboration with Mexico City FGE agents and the National Anti-Kidnapping Coordination.
“Initial investigations indicate that the defendant was part of a criminal group that, on November 20, 2019, deprived two victims of their liberty while they were in a mechanic’s shop located in SM 238.
“Days later, they contacted a relative of the victims to request one million pesos, and later only 100,000 to release the victims. A relative made several cash deposits, and the kidnappers released one victim.
“On December 2, 2019, the relative deposited 30,000 pesos for the release of the other kidnapped person, however, the members of the criminal group stopped making contact. Later, on December 10, 2019, the second victim was found dead.”
Field and office analysis work, as well as the exchange of information between the corporations, made it possible to establish the location of Ariel Alejandro “N”. A Cancun judge has ordered Ariel Alejandro “N” to remain in custody during his trial.
