Armando "N," alias "Delta 1," the operator and chief hitman for "Los Delta," the armed wing of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), had his precautionary measure changed by a federal judge, who granted him house arrest, his defense attorney reported.

On October 28, 2024, "Delta 1" was captured along with a woman by the National Guard after an operation in the Lagos Country residential neighborhood in Zapopan, Jalisco. During this operation, the Attorney General's Office (FGR) reported that he was seized with firearms and cartridges for the exclusive use of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, and charged with simple possession of one kilogram and 53 grams of methamphetamine hydrochloride. He was subsequently charged with crimes against public health, for which he was brought to trial.

The alleged criminal was presented by federal ministerial authorities before a Specialized District Judge of the Accusatory Criminal System of the State of Mexico, based in Almoloya de Juárez, who ordered Armando "N" to be prosecuted and placed in pretrial detention at the Federal Social Readaptation Center No. 1 "Altiplano" and granted a four-month period for the complementary investigation.

Víctor Beltrán, the defendant's defense attorney, asserted that the federal prosecutors failed to substantiate the evidence presented to the judge against Armando "N."

"The prosecution failed to prove anything; once again, they fell short, offered no evidence, and ultimately tried to rectify their poor work by making laughable and unfounded arguments, as reflected in today's ruling," the litigant emphasized.

The alleged criminal's expert legal counsel submitted a brief requesting a change in the precautionary measure. The hearing was held remotely on May 1, 2025, at the Federal Criminal Justice Center in the state of Jalisco, at the Puente Grande Penitentiary Complex, before Control Judge Juana Beatriz Aguilar Jiménez.

"Through a ruling in favor of my client, it was proven that he has been housebound, allowing him to enjoy his full freedom, carrying out his proceedings outside the country, going to sign in every 15 days, and continuing with the technical tasks associated with his job, running his business as a merchant," the lawyer explained.

Latinus asked the Attorney General's Office what actions it will take following this ruling by the Control Judge, but so far it has not responded.
