Atlixco security secretary arrest and investigation

Overview

Antonio Hernández Pacheco, the former Secretary of Public Security for Atlixco, Puebla, was arrested by the State Attorney General's Office following an investigation into a robbery involving a bank customer in central Atlixco. The arrest took place on the Vía Atlixcáyotl (also referred to as the Siglo XXI highway).

Hernández Pacheco faces charges of bribery, abuse of authority, and failure to fulfill legal duties. While local reports have suggested possible links to the protection of criminal groups, the Prosecutor's Office has not officially confirmed these claims. Following the arrest, a judge ordered preventive detention.

In response to the incident, Mayor Ariadna Ayala appointed Juan Manuel Bravo Baxil to lead the Security Secretariat. Puebla Governor Alejandro Armenta Mier stated that investigations would proceed to ensure there is ‘no impunity in the state’ and emphasized that the arrest was conducted in strict adherence to the legal framework.

This case is part of a broader regional trend involving the detention of municipal security officials. Hernández Pacheco is the seventh municipal security director or secretary to be detained in Puebla recently, following similar incidents in Chietla, Tehuitzingo, Chila de la Sal, Tlaola, Tlapacoya, and Jopala. State security officials have noted that his detention is part of a wider review of municipal security leaders in the region to ensure compliance with control and trust standards.
