The United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York's own press release, issued September 10, 2025, announcing the unsealing of a federal indictment charging Naason Joaquin Garcia and five co-defendants with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and child exploitation connected to the La Luz del Mundo church. As the prosecuting office's own announcement of charges it brought, it is authoritative for what was charged and by whom; it states an indictment's allegations, not a court's finding, and this atlas cites it only for that distinction.

Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier
1
Tier one: the prosecuting government office's own press release, authoritative for what was formally charged and by whom, since it announces charges that office itself brought. Its limit is the one it states about itself: it reports an indictment's allegations, not a court's finding, and this atlas cites it only for that distinction.
Notes
The prosecuting office's own official statement of the charges it filed; not an independent investigation and not a court ruling, so it establishes that the indictment was returned and what it alleges, not whether the allegations are true.
