The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has intensified its search for Hernán Cortés, a Mexican fugitive accused of multiple serious offences, who is suspected to be evading capture in the United States.
Authorities have issued a public warning, stating that Cortés may be armed and poses a significant threat to public safety. The FBI has urged citizens to remain vigilant and report any sightings immediately.
Who is Hernán Cortés?
Cortés, whose full name is Hernán Cortés Moreno, is wanted in connection with a string of violent crimes in Mexico, including alleged involvement in drug trafficking and organised crime. US officials believe he crossed the border illegally and is now hiding in an undisclosed location.
Why is the FBI Involved?
While Cortés is primarily sought by Mexican authorities, the FBI has taken an active role in the case due to his potential ties to criminal networks operating across North America. His presence in the US raises concerns about further illegal activities.
Public Safety Warning
The FBI has advised the public not to approach Cortés if spotted but to contact law enforcement immediately. "He should be considered dangerous," a spokesperson stated.
Investigators are following multiple leads and have increased surveillance in areas where Cortés was last seen. The manhunt remains ongoing, with no confirmed sightings in recent days.
