Four Detained in Iguala Over Alleged Clandestine Cremations Tied to Ayotzinapa Case

FGR agents carried out simultaneous operations in Iguala, detaining four people connected to the 'Rueda' funeral home investigative line opened in March 2026: Violeta Mazón, funeral-home employee Julio César 'N', Helen Rueda Mazón, and former Iguala municipal health secretary Benyehuda Martínez Villa (son of a former Guerrero Semefo director). Prosecutors allege the group used crematory ovens at Funerales Rueda to clandestinely cremate remains connected to the 43 disappeared students. Family members and local residents protested the detentions in Iguala, calling the arrests procedurally irregular.
