The man who last week turned himself in with an arsenal he was carrying in a luxury truck at the 5 de Mayo Military Camp, located in the municipality of Durango, is now under investigation and in preventive detention.
It was the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office (MPF) who provided the necessary evidence to the federal prosecutor to ensure that Jorge “G” was prosecuted for the crime of carrying firearms and possession of cartridges and magazines, all for the exclusive use of the Armed Forces, as well as carrying grenades.
In the file delivered to the judge, it was determined that elements of the National Guard (GN) made said person available to the federal prosecutor, after being detained outside the military barracks located in the town of 5 de Mayo, belonging to the municipality of the capital.
Upon arriving at the location, they searched the truck he was driving and found three grenades, three short firearms, two long weapons each with a grenade attachment, and one long weapon.
In addition, he was carrying a disc magazine for a long weapon, 15 magazines for a long weapon and six magazines for a pistol, as well as a tactical vest, a supply, four communication radios, handcuffs, 576 cartridges of various calibers and a spent grenade cartridge.
The federal prosecutor conducted the necessary proceedings and provided the evidence to obtain the linkage to the trial of the accused, before the judge in Coahuila, who decided to link him to the trial, give him justified preventive detention and set a period of two months for the closing of the complementary investigation.
