According to Mexican authorities, Arencibia is facing accusations of "disturbing the peace" following an altercation that occurred near the National Institute of Migration, involving a person who allegedly tried to steal his cell phone, reported the news portal 14yMedio.
The young man, originally from Havana, had lost contact with his family around 2:00 p.m. on the day of his disappearance while he was heading to complete immigration paperwork on Ejército Nacional Avenue.
His family, alarmed by the lack of communication, used social media to try to locate him.
The authorities reported that Fabián could face up to 90 days in prison if the offense is deemed serious, even though this is his first arrest. However, he also has the option to secure his release by paying a fine that ranges from 400 to 5,000 Mexican pesos, depending on the judge's decision.
Arencibia, a graduate in Physical Culture, has been in Mexico for over a year and a half, where he arrived in search of better opportunities. During his journey, he temporarily lived in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, before moving to the Mexican capital.
The incident occurred while Fabián was trying to find a place to charge his phone during his journey to Migration. According to a relative, the young man lost his phone after an argument with someone in public.
This altercation prompted the intervention of the authorities, who detained both Arencibia and the other individual involved. While the other person was released, the Cuban remains in custody until his legal situation is resolved.
