Nayarit Attorney General Elvia Ludmila Heredia revealed that, following the arrest of 10 individuals linked to the placement of banners containing messages from criminal groups in Nayarit, authorities managed to thwart an attack against her and state Governor Miguel Ángel Navarro Quintero that had already been planned.
“They had an attack against me and the governor ready, precisely now that the prosecutors’ conference was held in Nuevo Nayarit. They had the routes through which they were going to execute us.”
A few weeks ago, four banners appeared: one in San Cayetano and another at Puente Los Lobos.
“Internal groups are fighting among themselves; they are pretending that there is interference from outsiders.”
The prosecutor said that the evidence will be presented before a judge and that some of the information will remain confidential so as not to compromise the investigation or put witnesses at risk.

Regarding narcotics, the FGR reported that 943 kilograms, 74 grams, and 20 milligrams of various substances were incinerated.
Of the total, 415 kilograms, 197 grams, and 620 milligrams corresponded to marijuana; 337 kilograms, 227 grams to cannabis plants; and 170 kilograms, 716 grams to methamphetamine hydrochloride.
