FGR Seizes More Than 1.35 Million Liters of Fuel in Reynosa Raids

The federal prosecutor said the seizure will be used to identify supply chains to assign criminal responsibility.

Overview

  • The Fiscalía General de la República executed judge-authorized raids that on June 11 recovered about 1.2 million liters of hydrocarbon at one Reynosa site and roughly 155,000 liters at a second site, and detained two people.
  • Investigators also seized dozens of tank trucks, fractanks, tractors and motobombas, plus around 190,000 liters of alcohol that officials say may be tied to illegal fuel handling.
  • State teams separately intercepted a tanker carrying 34,729 liters in Celaya and security forces in Puebla recovered nearly 10,000 liters and two vehicles; all seized goods and suspects have been turned over to the FGR for federal probes.
  • The operations were carried out by coordinated federal and state units, including FECOR, the Policía Federal Ministerial, AIC forensics, the military, the Guardia Nacional and local police under judicial orders.
  • Authorities say investigations will trace the origin of the fuel, map logistics networks and determine criminal responsibility, a process that could disrupt local distribution chains and reduce safety risks from illicit storage and transport.
