Cancún, QR: Raciel López, the General Prosecutor of Quintana Roo, announced on September 19th the arrest of Luis Fernando “N,” also known as “el Inge” or “Chimiskuil,” who is the alleged mastermind behind the assassination of Mario Machuca Sánchez, the leader of the Confederación Revolucionaria de Obreros y Campesinos (CROC) in Cancún.
Luis Fernando “N” is a 53-year-old man from Mexico City.
