FGR detains Eduardo ‘N’, another ex-García Luna collaborator, in embezzlement probe

Mexico's FGR arrested Eduardo ‘N’ in Puebla on January 7, the latest in a series of detentions targeting former Secretariat of Public Security officials under Genaro García Luna for embezzlement and organized crime linked to federal prisons (2008-2013).

This arrest continues FGR's probe into irregularities during García Luna's tenure as Public Security Secretary (2006-2012), now serving 38 years in the US for drug trafficking. Eduardo ‘N’, located via intelligence and Security Cabinet coordination, allegedly signed irregular contracts for Federal Social Readaptation Centers, enabling resource diversion.

Prior arrests in this investigation include Jesús ‘N’ (Cuernavaca, charged with organized crime and money laundering, held in Almoloya de Juárez) and María ‘N’ (Mexico City, linked to illicit funds via Nunvav, detained in Morelos). These cases highlight a pattern of administrative schemes misusing public funds in prisons overseen by García Luna's team.
