Overview
- The FGR reported eliminating 27,874 kilograms of solid chemicals and 77,199 liters of liquids after moving the haul from Sinaloa to a specialized hazardous-waste facility in the State of Mexico.
- Forensic teams identified lead acetate, mercuric chloride, acetone, hydrochloric acid, peroxy-dicumyl, toluene, and ethyl and methyl alcohol among the destroyed substances.
- The effort was coordinated through Mexico’s security cabinet with supervision by FECOR and the AIC and protection from the Army, Navy, National Guard, and the Security and Citizen Protection Ministry.
- Spokesman Ulises Lara López said the action kept the materials from reaching the streets and inflicted financial losses on the criminal groups involved.
- The operation was carried out as Sinaloa faces violent infighting between Los Chapitos and Los Mayos, with the state security council reporting more than 1,800 killings and over 2,400 forced disappearances since September 2024.
