Woman wanted by Interpol for fraud in Mexico arrested at Jorge Chávez airport
Peru's National Police arrested a woman identified as María "N" on 4 October 2026 at 11:15 hours at Jorge Chávez International Airport, located in Callao. According to mvsnoticias.com, the detainee holds dual Argentine and Mexican nationality and was sought by the General Prosecutor's Office of Querétaro on suspicion of generic fraud.
The arrest was carried out through the National Central Bureau of Interpol Lima, in compliance with a formal request from Mexican authorities. María "N" was registered with an Interpol Red Notice and a Migration Alert issued for her location at the international level.
In an initial communication, Peru's National Police identified the detainee only by the initials M. C. C. It was the General Prosecutor's Office of Querétaro that later clarified that this concerned María "N" and that the investigation against her is being processed in that federal entity.
According to the state prosecutor's office, both search mechanisms—the Migration Alert and the Red Notice—were requested by that institution to locate the woman outside Mexican territory.
"Coordination between authorities allows justice to transcend borders," the Querétaro Prosecutor's Office stated when communicating the arrest.
Peruvian authorities reported that María "N" was placed at the disposal of the competent authorities to continue with the corresponding proceedings in accordance with the law.
To date, neither the Mexican prosecutor's office nor the Peruvian police have provided details about the facts that gave rise to the investigation. The amount of the alleged fraud or the circumstances in which it occurred were not reported.
