Overview
- FGR officials said Tuesday they interviewed army personnel who guarded the perimeter after a clandestine synthetic-drug lab was found in the Sierra del Pinal, Chihuahua.
- The federal investigation sits with the Special Prosecutor’s Office for Complex Cases, which is examining possible illicit use of authority and threats to national security.
- Prosecutors are checking whether any U.S. intelligence personnel acted with proper authorization after reports said CIA staff were present at the scene.
- The secured site remains under federal control as teams log more than 55,000 liters of chemicals, over 50 tons of precursors, roughly 2,000 liters of methamphetamine, and industrial equipment, while working to identify property owners and supplier companies.
- After the operation, a vehicle crash killed four people, including two men media identified as U.S. intelligence and local commanders, which has sharpened scrutiny of the raid’s planning and oversight.
