Nava was wanted on an arrest warrant issued by the First District Judge in Criminal Proceedings of Matamoros, Tamaulipas, on charges of organized crime and kidnapping in the criminal case resulting in the disappearance, and assumed murder of 43 Normalista (students) of Ayotzinapa.
Nava is accused of being paid 13,000 pesos per month by the Guerreros Unidos as protection money.
After delivering the students to El Gil, Nava fled the city and was not seen again until his capture last Sunday.
The former police commander was captured with his wife last Sunday in Colima, but the announcement was not made public until today. Authorities first notified the parents of the missing studentsat a meeting held in Chilpancingo.
Outside the meeting, frustrated parents threw water bottles at van carrying the PGR director of the Criminal Investigation Agency Thomas Zerón, and officer Jaime Ramos Rivera. Two bottles hit the vehicle.
The incident caused no damage, but it was enough to frighten the General Commissioner of the Federal Police, Enrique Galindo. After being notified of the bottle incident, the general decided to wait until the parents left before leaving in his SUV.
The General managed a death-defying escape safely exiting the garage, and avoiding the lethal plastic water bottles.
