In the eastern area of the Valley of Mexico, security forces arrested an individual known as 'El Jairo', a suspected criminal leader exposed by local media due to his method of dispossessing homes in Chimalhuacán, State of Mexico. This subject used fraudulent sales contracts and irregularities in property tax keys to carry out his criminal activities.
Neighbors from Nezahualcóyotl reported that 'El Jairo', rumored to be a former police officer, was arrested and taken to the Public Prosecutor's Office in Chimalhuacán, although the exact reasons for his arrest have yet to be disclosed. He is accused of leading a group of young people involved in robberies, drug sales, and property dispossession.
One of the victims, who preferred to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation, revealed that 'El Jairo' had violently taken his house from him. This resident, along with other neighbors, is seeking to file complaints against him to prevent his release from being unpunished shortly after his capture.
Property dispossessions in the Valley of Mexico have been increasing in recent years, leaving many people, especially elderly individuals, without a place to live. Criminals have resorted to tricks such as forging sales contracts and deeds to invade lands, taking advantage of possible complicity between former police officers and municipal property registries.
One specific case was that of a victim in Chimalhuacán, who was dispossessed of his home for not having the property tax key updated. 'El Jairo' and other criminals operate by exploiting these regulatory shortcomings, illegally evicting properties, especially those vacant for extended periods or whose owners are elderly. This type of crime has a negative impact on the community, generating discomfort and concern among neighbors.
