Law enforcement and corruption investigations in Puebla

Overview

Law enforcement and judicial authorities in Puebla have intensified efforts to combat organized crime and corruption. Initial operations by the State Attorney General's Office (FGE) focused on dismantling criminal structures in various municipalities, including the arrest of members of the ‘Los Millonarios’ gang and the seizure of narcotics and weapons. These efforts also included an internal investigation into state prosecutors following reports of gunfire in Puebla city.

Subsequent developments indicate that investigations have expanded to include high-level political figures. The FGE confirmed that at least five active municipal presidents are under investigation for federal crimes, such as fuel and cargo transport theft. This process involves close coordination with the federal Attorney General's Office (FGR). Recent enforcement actions, such as ‘Operativo Enjambre’, have led to the detention of several mayors, including those from Esperanza and Tepeyahualco, for alleged links to criminal networks.
