Mexican authorities detained Gabriel “N”, also known as “Gabito” or “80”, a regional operator of a group linked to the Sinaloa Cartel, in Sinaloa.
The suspect is accused of abduction and killing of ten individuals connected to Vizsla Silver’s mining operation in January.
The arrest was executed through a joint operation involving the Mexican army, National Guard and local security forces.
Vizsla Silver Corp, a Vancouver‑based miner developing the Panuco silver project, resumed field activities in early May and obtained state‑backed financing for the mine last week.
The company has stated it is cooperating with Mexican authorities in the ongoing investigation.
