The DNCD also indicated that both men are identified as members of a network known as "Los San Juaneros", whose alleged leader, identified only by the alias "Antolín" remains a fugitive from justice, and reported that those involved are linked to a structure dedicated to micro-trafficking that operates in different sectors of Boca Chica and that is currently under surveillance by security agencies. Faced with this situation, the authorities urged the alleged leader to surrender through the appropriate channels to answer for the ongoing investigations.
