Federico N, also known as “El F1”, has been detained three times, however, he has been released. The first time he was arrested was in November 2016 for the crime of attempted murder, after he participated in a fight on July 2 of that year on 11 Norte and 6 Poniente, in the La Raza market, however, In April 2018, he was released after the crime of which he was accused was reclassified.

Without paying reparation for the damage or a fine, “El Fede” left prison, but a month later, in the early morning of May 11, he was again arrested by the Municipal Police of Puebla after fleeing a breathalyzer checkpoint in the Los Sapos neighborhood; on that occasion, he was about to run over a transito police.

That time he only faced an administrative offense and was presented before the qualifying court, who only imposed a fine on him.

On June 24, 2019, he was again apprehended by ministerial agents of the State Attorney General’s Office when he was driving his vehicle on 31 Poniente and 7 Sur in the Chulavista neighborhood; He was charged with injuries and attempted murder for allegedly having shot a man in the Historic Center.

Last Wednesday the SSP managed to capture one of the men closest to “El Fede”, Pablo alias “El Pablito” and/or “El Contador”, who allegedly was engaged in collecting extortion money from merchants and had in his power various doses of apparent crystal.

Although intelligence personnel from the SSP have tried to enter the area of ​​16 Poniente and 5 Norte to capture El Fede, merchants led by the aforementioned comadre, Silvia N, have hindered their work and blamed the leader of the “ March 11 ”, Martín N, of harassing them, but he too has already dissociated himself from those actions and even, according to the source consulted, revealed that he has received calls from Federico and another subject nicknamed“ El Negro ”, where they threaten him with death to leave the space it occupies with its 180 members, as Alicia N and Margarito did at the time, who were forced to flee by “El Fede”.
