Silem García Peña

Silem García Peña is a former councilman of Xalapa, Veracruz, who has recently come under international scrutiny due to a warrant issued by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. He is accused of being part of a criminal organization linked to Naasón Joaquín García, the leader of the controversial church La Luz del Mundo, involved in serious allegations of child exploitation and organized crime. García Peña allegedly used his position within the church to obstruct victims from reporting sexual abuse, leading to charges that could result in a lengthy prison sentence.
