Authorities in Jalisco are investigating Rancho Izaguirre in Teuchitlán, a site previously identified by the Fiscalía General de la República (FGR) as a recruitment and training center for the Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartel (CJNG).

Controversy has emerged following claims made by an alleged CJNG member in an interview with the Italian outlet TG1. The individual claimed that over 500 people were murdered at the ranch and that he personally incinerated 250 victims. The FGR has dismissed these claims of mass incineration as false.

While the FGR reports that forensic processing of the site is 92 percent complete and that 15 individuals potentially linked to the camp have been prosecuted, local search collectives like Guerreros Buscadores de Jalisco continue to call for deeper investigations. These groups cite physical evidence found at the site, including clothing, footwear, and bone fragments, which they believe suggest the presence of a large mass grave. Ongoing judicial efforts include the analysis of victim testimony and mobile device data.
