On Monday, June 15, 2026, José Antonio Pérez Aréchiga, a businessman with over 15 years of experience in Tuxtepec and the Oaxaca-Veracruz border region, publicly distanced himself from the Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG) following his mention in videos related to the arrest of Ariana F. in San Andrés Cholula.

The controversy began after videos of Ariana F.’s detention surfaced, showing her intoxicated and claiming connections to the CJNG. Pérez Aréchiga’s name and image appeared in these videos, prompting him to issue a statement rejecting the allegations as “false, very serious, and illogical.”

In his public communication, Pérez Aréchiga expressed deep indignation over the spread of these claims on social media, emphasizing that such speculative content threatens not only his integrity but also that of his family and professional team. He highlighted that his family’s values have always been grounded in respect, honesty, and commitment to the citizens of Tuxtepec.

Key points from his statement include:

– A firm denial of any ties to Ariana F. or the CJNG.
– A reminder that his business career has been built on ethical principles and hard work.
– A warning against the dangers of misinformation that could harm his reputation and safety.
– Consideration of legal action to protect his image and counter false information.

Authorities in Puebla continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding Ariana F.’s arrest, which took place recently in San Andrés Cholula. Meanwhile, Pérez Aréchiga’s team remains vigilant about the impact of these accusations.

This case highlights the challenges public figures face when misinformation spreads rapidly online, underscoring the importance of responsible media consumption and the protection of individual rights.
