María Vanesa Pedraza Madrid

María Vanesa Pedraza Madrid is a former advisor to Genaro García Luna, the ex-secretary of Public Security in Mexico. She was recently detained by the Fiscalía General de la República (FGR) in Mexico City for her alleged involvement in organized crime and money laundering. Investigations suggest that she played a role in diverting millions of pesos from the federal penitentiary system to shell companies, purportedly to fund operations linked to organized crime. Pedraza Madrid worked in the Secretaría de Seguridad Pública from 2001 to 2012, during García Luna's tenure, and is accused of acting as a legal representative for a company involved in these illicit activities.
