A total of 25 people allegedly linked to extortion acts were arrested in Guanajuato. Among the captured people is a man identified as the leader of the criminal group, as well as an operator and one of the main negotiators.

This individual was in charge of receiving calls from the victims and coordinating the collection of the extortions,” the report highlights.
