Mexico City Reports 78 Reparatory Agreements in Iztapalapa Tanker Explosion Case

Prosecutors say the company could avoid charges if every case is resolved through these agreements.

Overview

  • The city prosecutor’s office says 99 victims have been identified, including 32 deaths as well as injury and property-damage cases.
  • Reparatory agreements have been reached with 78 direct and indirect victims in mediation with Silza, which authorities identify as responsible for the tanker involved.
  • The case proceeds under negligent-offense provisions of the National Code of Criminal Procedures that allow reparations instead of formal charging when victims consent.
  • Mediation sessions are ongoing, and officials plan to deliver a more detailed report next week based on the outcomes.
  • Authorities report only one person remains hospitalized, and a two-year-old survivor continues rehabilitation in Galveston with the Shriners hospital network.
