Cybersecdn- In a shocking criminal case, two men, Julio Cesar Paniagua, 27, and Joel Ramon Garcia, 33, have been charged with kidnapping a man in Paterson, New Jersey, and transporting him to Massachusetts for ransom.
The case, which has drawn attention for its severity and the use of firearms, is now under federal jurisdiction. Paniagua, who was recently detained following his appearance before U.S. Magistrate Judge Jessica S. Allen in Newark federal court, faces serious charges.
Garcia, who was arrested on November 20, 2023, and subsequently appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Cathy L. Waldor, is also in custody. The victim’s ordeal began on November 15, 2023, when Paniagua and Garcia allegedly abducted him at gunpoint.
