Quintana Roo migration official investigation
Overview
The head of the National Institute of Migration (INM) office in Quintana Roo, Admiral Carlos Manuel Bandala González, was removed from his position following allegations of irregularities involving migratory documents.
Investigations center on approximately 935 files, primarily involving citizens from Cuba and Venezuela. Allegations include the potential misuse of family ties to facilitate immigration and the illegal charging of fees for services, with some payments reaching up to 5,000 USD. Authorities are also examining whether these irregularities involve human trafficking, specifically regarding files involving female minors.
While the leadership change took effect on August 19, the INM has officially denied that the removal of Bandala González is directly linked to the ongoing investigation. Mauricio Alejandro Patiño Arroyo has been appointed as the acting head of the agency in Cancún.
