After his legal name was over, Carlos Alberto Ventura de la Paz, the former president of Atoyac, Veracruz, was arrested in the early hours of January 1, 2026, losing the resistance he had previously held as a public official. The former official was taken into custody by the Governmental Police officials during an operation that took place in the early morning hours after he had left public business. A judge granted the imprisonment, and he was later put in jail in the town of Amatlan de los Reyes. The situation is connected to the disappearance and subsequent death of Jose Oscar Rebolledo Lopez, a native of the Potrero Nuevo group, according to data obtained from the news website La Silla Rota. The young man was last seen in April 2025 when he went to the municipal police station to make inquiries about a friend who had been detained by the neighborhood officers. Witnesses reported that the young man was forced into an established vehicle and taken to an unknown place after an exchange of words with municipal officers, according to the same source. His body was discovered a day later, lying in a blanket and suffering from gunshot wounds in another city, which is located about 10 km away. A secured witness testified to the government that the then-mayor had given the order to steal the young man. The victim's family made the accusation after his departure was made public on social media, where witnesses and those connected to the research found him. In addition, the paper La Jornada reported that Ventura de la Paz's administration was characterized by the rise in Atoyac's violence and various allegations involving the provincial police's conduct. Following an armed brawl that resulted in the deaths of many people and the arrest of numerous others, including regional police officers, the then-mayor made a statement before the Regional Prosecutor's Office in October 2025. Ventura de la Paz thanked everyone for the opportunity to lead the native state during the terms of 2022-2025 and posted a photo from the president's business on social media shortly before his arrest. Carlos Alberto Ventura de la Paz first re-elected as president of the now-defunct Podemos party, and afterward joined Morena. His presidency ended in full on December 31 as a result of which he was content to the legal proceedings that led to his arrest.
