- Authorities, who disclosed results Wednesday, said the 46-day Operation “Desconexión” in the State of Mexico led to 102 arrests and 192 properties secured.
- The properties include 67 call centers, 5 loan offices used for usurious lending, 14 drug sale points, and 106 nightlife businesses tied to laundering.
- Investigators seized 67 servers, more than 2,800 computers, hundreds of phones and SIM cards, cash, drugs, weapons, and scripts used to pressure victims.
- Fifty suspects are now bound over for trial under preventive detention, and migration officials are reviewing the status of foreign detainees.
- Probes found call centers posed as banks with cloned websites and mass calls to steal data and coerce payments, a focus driven by 1,084 extortion complaints since July 2025, 62% of them non-presential.
