FGR Incinerates 405.874 Kilograms of Seized Drugs at Military Base

The operation finalizes evidence disposal for 52 federal investigations after forensic verification, preventing seized narcotics from re-entering illegal markets.

Overview

  • Federal authorities carried out the destruction at Campo Militar 37-A in San Juan Teotihuacán on Saturday, with the Fiscalía Federal in Mexico City (FECOR) leading the procedure.
  • Forensic experts from the Agencia de Investigación Criminal verified the exact total of 405 kilograms with 874 grams of cocaine, methamphetamine and marijuana before the incineration.
  • The exercise destroyed an additional 105 psychotropic units made up of pills, tablets and capsules that had been held as evidence in criminal files.
  • Officials from the FGR’s Órgano Interno de Control and elements of the Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional supervised the process to maintain chain of custody and legal compliance.
  • Authorities said the incineration is the final legal step once peritajes are complete and is part of broader 2026 efforts that include large seizures and dismantled clandestine labs to keep drugs off the streets.
