Bomb Threat Emails Trigger Evacuation at Mexico City Court Complex, No Explosives Found

Investigators are tracing who sent the messages that forced thousands to leave the buildings.

Overview

  • Authorities evacuated the Ciudad Judicial, a major court complex in the Doctores neighborhood of Cuauhtémoc, after threats arrived by email.
  • Civil Protection led an orderly exit and disabled elevators so people used stairs as a safety measure.
  • The city’s Security Ministry sent the Zorros task force and K9 teams from the banking police to inspect the site.
  • Search teams reported no explosive devices and officials classified the episode as a false alarm.
  • Streets near Avenida Niños Héroes reopened after the sweep, easing the disruption for workers, litigants, users, and visitors.
