Querétaro State Attorney General Víctor Antonio de Jesús Hernández confirmed that an active-duty federal police officer is among the seven individuals formally charged with kidnapping and aggravated robbery following an operation conducted by the Attorney General’s Office in the municipality of Colón.
The official confirmed information previously released to the public, noting that the arrests resulted from a coordinated operation involving authorities from various levels of government and multiple states across the country.
“It was determined that one of the individuals involved was an active-duty federal police officer,” he stated.
Hernández highlighted that the capture of the suspects was made possible through a joint deployment involving the Municipal Public Security Secretariat of Colón, the Public Security Secretariat of San Juan del Río, the Querétaro State Police, the attorney general’s offices and public security secretariats of the State of Mexico and Mexico City, as well as the Specialized Prosecutor’s Office for Organized Crime (FEMDO) of the Federal Attorney General’s Office and the federal Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection.
The prosecutor explained that the exchange of information enabled the issuance of simultaneous alerts across different states, leading to the capture of the alleged perpetrators in both San Juan del Río and Mexico City.
“It was a successful operation involving collaboration among various agencies nationwide; it was not merely a local deployment,” he noted.
He added that the seven detained individuals have already been formally charged and remain in pretrial detention for their alleged involvement in the unlawful deprivation of liberty and a violent robbery committed at a business in the municipality of Colón.
Finally, Hernández stated that this case reflects the evolution of the “Sinergia” (Synergy) strategy, which, he noted, has expanded its reach through coordination with federal institutions to strengthen efforts to locate, arrest, and prosecute individuals involved in high-impact crimes affecting Querétaro.
