The Attorney General’s Office of the State of Sinaloa, through its Specialized Unit Against Kidnappings and the Specialized Public Prosecutor’s Agency Against Kidnappings in the Southern Region, has obtained an 80-year prison sentence for Agustín “N” for his conviction on charges of aggravated kidnapping and deprivation of life.
The incident occurred on December 14, 2018, when the defendant and three others, including the then-girlfriend of the victim, planned to kidnap a young man and demanded a ransom of one million pesos from his family. When they failed to receive the requested amount, they killed their hostage out of fear of being reported.
The judge sentenced Agustín “N” to 80 years in prison and ordered him to pay an additional fine of $967,200 pesos, including $136,000 pesos for economic compensation due to the ransom payment, $441,800 pesos as compensation for the victim’s death, and $5,301.60 pesos for funeral expenses.
It is worth noting that all members of the group involved in this case are either serving prison sentences or are currently detained:
– Cristian Eduardo “N” was sentenced to 53 years and 4 months in prison.
– Santiago César “N” received a sentence of 33 years and 4 months in prison.
– Lilia Jahel “N”, the victim’s ex-girlfriend, is being held pending sentencing.
In total, the sentences imposed so far amount to 166 years and 8 months in prison against those convicted for these crimes.
