The drug trafficker Héctor “El Güero” Palma Salazar was transferred from the national arraigos center, located in the Doctores neighborhood, to the maximum security prison on the Altiplano, in Almoloya de Juárez, State of Mexico.

Federal sources confirmed that the transfer of Palma was carried out at dawn this Tuesday, but so far it hasn’t been specified whether the federal Public Ministry has already determined the investigation or if there is a court order.

Since last May 4, Palma Salazar left the Altiplano prison in compliance with a sentence in which he was acquitted of organized crime in his hypothesis of crimes against health and obtained a release order.

However, the next day a federal judge ordered him to be held in custody for 40 days while the Attorney General’s Office gathered evidence against him for organized crime.

This term was extended for another 40 days, which expire next week.
