In a dramatic series of late-night security operations, law enforcement officials have confirmed the arrest of six individuals in the picturesque municipality of Taxco, Guerrero, including two sons of former mayor Mario Figueroa Mundo. The arrests, which took place in the early hours of Saturday, mark the latest chapter in a sprawling investigation that has drawn national attention due to its links to high-profile figures and organized crime.

Authorities swooped into Taxco’s La Garita neighborhood, executing a targeted raid on a residential property that culminated in the apprehension of the suspects. Among those taken into custody was Marco “N,” one of the sons of the former mayor, whose family has found itself entangled in controversy in recent weeks.
