Doctor indicted for case of vitaminvitaminated sugars in Sonora surrenders to authorities; is related to the death of eight people

A doctor in Sonora, Mexico, named Jesús Maximiano Verduzco Soto, has surrendered to authorities after being implicated in the deaths of eight people due to the administration of 'vitaminized' intravenous solutions. The Fiscalía General de Justicia del Estado (FGJE) of Sonora had implemented financial, asset, and operational restrictions against him, limiting his ability to operate. These measures led to his surrender on October 5th. He was taken into custody at the Centro de Reinserción Social (Cereso) and will face initial court proceedings. The Attorney General, Gustavo Rómulo Salas Chávez, emphasized adherence to due process and the presumption of innocence while prioritizing victims' rights and reparations. The investigation also includes actions against individuals suspected of covering up the crimes.

A doctor linked to the "vitamin IV drips" case in Sonora has surrendered to authorities. Jesús Maximiano Verduzco Soto, accused of causing the deaths of eight patients following the administration of these drips, turned himself in, confirmed the State Attorney's Office. The gradual tightening of financial, property, and operational measures implemented by the State Attorney's Office of Sonora against Verduzco led to his surrender. According to official information, an arrest warrant was executed related to the investigation into the administration of intravenous solutions that caused fatalities and health issues among several patients in Hermosillo, Sonora. Gustavo Rómulo Salas Chávez, the State Attorney General, stated that previous searches, asset seizures, and vehicle confiscations restricted the suspect’s ability to access funds in bank accounts, significantly reducing his operational margin. In this scenario, his lawyers contacted the authorities so that Verduzco could appear before them on Monday, October 5, and be placed at their disposal. He was subsequently taken into custody and transferred to the Center for Social Reintegration (Cereso), where he will be presented to the appropriate judge for the initial hearing. Salas Chávez emphasized that the prosecution would formulate charges and present evidence before the court, respecting due process and the presumption of innocence while prioritizing victims' rights and comprehensive compensation. Meanwhile, Carlos Alberto Flores, the Commissioner General of the Ministry of Public Security's Criminal Investigation Agency (AMIC), noted that the defendant underwent a medical examination and is in delicate health. His condition will be monitored according to established protocols. Flores added that searches and actions have been conducted against individuals suspected of involvement in concealment efforts as part of the strategy to close protection spaces and advance the full clarification of the incidents. The State Attorney's Office stated that investigations remain open and will continue executing necessary legal procedures as the process progresses. It will provide responsible updates when new confirmed data becomes available and procedural conditions allow, ensuring the rights of victims and due process for those involved.
