They arrested the leader of the famous Mexican regional group, only 26 years old, for allegedly trying to cross with drugs into Mexican territory from the US.

It was detailed that the singer allegedly tried to enter with cigarettes, a jar and two plastic bags with contents similar to marijuana.

According to the ‘Baja News’ portal, the Mexican regional singer was taken to the facilities of the Attorney General’s Office.

Alleged introduction of narcotics from the US

Likewise, there has been no official statement from the authorities that defines the current legal situation of the artists, detailed the ‘N+’ outlet.

Therefore, it is expected that more information will be provided later to clarify this case, meanwhile the commotion surrounds the world of music.

The arrest of Jesús Ortiz Paz has caused an impact especially in the Mexican regional genre, where the group has gained great popularity.

Impact on the Fuerza Regido career

However, this incident calls into question the reputation of the group and Ortiz Paz himself, whose future within the music industry could be at risk.

The Mexican authorities have not yet detailed the exact charges against the vocalist and the others involved, as well as the type of bail or sentence to be served.

The case of Jesús Ortiz Paz is not the first nor the last in which an artist of the corrido tumbados genre is involved in legal problems.

This incident once again puts on the table the debate about the relationship between regional Mexican music and the culture of drug trafficking.

Uncertainty in the music industry

Likewise, it highlights the responsibility of artists in promoting a positive message away from violence and organized crime.

Meanwhile, followers of Fuerza Regida and the regional Mexican genre are waiting to see how this case will develop.

What will be the impact on the singer’s career and the group in general after facing legal issues classified as ‘delicate’?

It is important to note that Jesús Ortiz Paz is also an American citizen and resident of California, but the importation of these substances to Mexico is illegal.

Reactions on social media

The news was also reported through social media, through the account of journalist Nelssie Carrillo on the social media platform instagram.

Internet users reacted quickly: «I would have bought it in Mexico.»

«It is not surprising», «Tremendous example for this generation», «Bail money», others said.

In accordance with ‘N+‘ and ‘Baja News‘, uncertainty and worry reign among those who closely follow the world of regional Mexican music.
