For the crime of fraud, M.E.A.P. was formally charged after being accused of allegedly deceiving a citizen to obtain a large sum of money as a supposed down payment for the sale of a plot of land in Chuburná Puerto.
During the hearing held at the Oral Justice Center in Mérida, the State Attorney General’s Office (FGE) presented the evidence compiled in the investigation file corresponding to criminal case 30/2026.
After reviewing the evidence presented, the presiding judge ordered her to stand trial and granted a three-month period for the completion of the supplementary investigation.
According to the Attorney General’s Office, the accused allegedly posed as the legal representative of the property, offering the land to the complainant and receiving an advance payment as part of the agreement. To substantiate the transaction, she provided a purported power of attorney that was later found to be fraudulent.
However, after the payment was made, the accused cut off all communication with the buyer, which raised red flags. Upon visiting the Public Registry of Property, the victim discovered that the land was part of a bank trust, revealing that the presented documentation was fraudulent.
Given the seriousness of the events and the procedural risk, the authorities upheld the precautionary measures imposed at the initial hearing, meaning M.E.A.P. will remain in pretrial detention for the duration of the criminal proceedings.
The case remains under investigation as the Prosecutor’s Office gathers further evidence to strengthen the case against him for this alleged real estate fraud.
