María Alejandra had filed the complaint after the Office of the Attorney General of the Nation looked for her for a publication on her social networks, where she showed the severity of the injuries and told what happened. “I confirmed the data they had and then they notified me that he was captured by the Unilago sector, while he was with his current partner, ”María Alejandra told the media.
