Mexico City police seize 43 million pesos from suspected money launderer
Bojun N, alias El Chino, was arrested in Miguel Hidalgo during a linked Cancun probe.
Mexico City police arrested a suspected leader of a money laundering network linked to Cancun after authorities found more than 43 million pesos in cash during his arrest.
The operation, carried out Tuesday night in the Miguel Hidalgo borough, led to the seizure of 26,976,000 pesos and $920,000 USD, for a total of about 43,720,000 pesos, according to Mexico’s Navy Secretariat.
The suspect, Bojun “N”, also known as “El Chino”, was detained following intelligence and investigations targeting the financial structures of organized crime and people authorities described as generators of violence.
Authorities said they executed a search warrant at a residence in Miguel Hidalgo, where they arrested the 41-year-old. Investigators identified him as the alleged head of a network tied to money laundering, arms trafficking and human trafficking, with presence in central Mexico City, Tijuana in Baja California, and Cancun in Quintana Roo.
Police said they used fixed, mobile and follow-up surveillance to identify a property connected to the alleged illicit activities. The seized items included cash, cell phones, documents and various immigration credentials, a banknote counting machine, watches, ammunition, vehicles and drugs.
The detainee was informed of his legal rights and, together with the seized resources, was placed at the disposal of Mexico’s Federal Public Prosecutor, where investigations will continue.
