The Veracruz State Legislature has approved a 100 million peso budget increase for the State Attorney General’s Office (FGE). The decision, passed with 45 votes, is intended to address operational deficits in regional prosecutor’s offices and enhance citizen services.

Specific investments will focus on strengthening the General Directorate of Forensic Services and rehabilitating facilities, including the Medical Examiner’s Office in Álamo, Veracruz. The state’s Finance and Planning Secretariat confirmed that these funds for the 2026 fiscal year will be covered by state fiscal resources without affecting the overall budget balance.
