Boca del Rio real estate fraud arrest Veracruz, Digi Mart USA News (Boca del Rio, Veracruz, Mexico): Authorities have detained a businessman identified as Bernardo N, who is accused of alleged fraud involving two real estate developments in Boca del Rio and the Riviera Veracruzana. According to the investigation, each victim reportedly paid up to 630,000 pesos as a down payment without receiving the property they had purchased.
According to the National Registry of Detentions, Bernardo was arrested at 1:55 p.m. on November 7 on Mocambo Street in the municipality of Boca del Rio.
He was subsequently transferred to the offices of the Ministerial Police of Veracruz.
Following the initial hearing and the evidence presented in the criminal case, the control judge ordered pretrial detention for one year as a precautionary measure.
According to La Silla Rota, Bernardo is linked to the crime of fraud in the real estate sector, as buyers have recently voiced complaints about the alleged scam. Clients who purchased homes in the Villa de Llanes subdivision and apartments in the Torre Oasi reported abandoned construction work and missed delivery dates.
The developments are associated with the real estate companies New England Capital SAPI de C.V. and Comunicacion Digital S.A.
de C.V. Buyers allege that they made bank transfers, down payments and advance settlements to secure properties but have not received them in return.
In some cases, the amount paid by each person reportedly exceeded 630,000 pesos.
The second development, Torre Oasi in the Riviera Veracruzana, has not been completed and shows no signs of construction progress.
Affected buyers have initiated legal action against those responsible, citing documentation of payments totaling more than 630,000 pesos per buyer.
Bernardo will remain in pretrial detention while the complementary investigation proceeds and his legal situation is resolved definitively, following the allegations of fraud related to the sale of residences and apartments.
