Inverplux Fraud Victims Attend Initial Hearing Against Two Detainees
People affected by the Inverplux company fraud attended the initial hearing this Thursday, August 6, against two individuals detained for their alleged involvement in the scam that occurred in 2023.
Hector Sicairos, a member of the United Against the Inverplux Fraud group, stated that according to the latest statements from authorities, this has been the largest fraud case in the history of Sinaloa, with nearly 800 families affected and around one billion pesos lost.
He added that they will seek for judges to understand the magnitude of the case, emphasizing that many families were affected, and that they will remain present throughout each stage of the legal process until those responsible are held accountable.
“We are here so that the judge knows and understands that there are many of us. In this group called United Against the Inverplux Fraud, we are 563 people, and the Prosecutor’s Office has 758 complaints since the beginning. So this is not just about four or five people, as the file may currently suggest,” he said.
Who Are the People Detained for This Fraud?
It should be remembered that on Saturday, August 1, the Sinaloa State Attorney General’s Office reported that Isaac Andrey “N” was arrested in Texas, United States, as the alleged person responsible for the well-known mega-fraud committed by Inverplux in 2023.
The arrest of María Alejandra Sánchez Lagunes has also been reported, and she is also expected to appear before a judge during Thursday’s hearing.
According to investigations carried out by the Public Prosecutor’s Office and specialized Investigation Police officers focused on financial crimes, the detainees allegedly deceived a large number of people by making them believe that, through an investment platform, they would obtain returns higher than those offered by banking institutions, despite not having the required authorization to operate.
What Is Known About Inverplux?
Inverplux was a company that had offices in Culiacán, but the fraud began to be publicly reported in March 2023. Reports indicate that victims were located in Culiacán, Mazatlán, Los Mochis, and Guasave, where they were offered attractive investment returns through the company’s platform.
A Special Prosecutor Was Assigned to the Case
In April 2023, the former Attorney General of Sinaloa, Sara Bruna Quiñónez Estrada, announced that the director of Investigation Files for the Central Zone, Eladio García Arredondo, would lead a special group created to handle complaints from victims affected by the investment company.
