FGR officials in Veracruz accused of illegal seizure, company claims 40 million peso damage

A criminal complaint has been filed against four officials from the Attorney General's Office (FGR) in Veracruz by a local crop-dusting company. Agrogema Agro alleges that the officials illegally seized helicopters, aircraft, an airstrip, and facilities, resulting in an estimated patrimonial damage exceeding 40 million pesos (approximately $2.2 million USD).

The company, based in Medellín, has submitted two complaints to the Specialized Prosecutor's Office for Internal Affairs and the FGR's Internal Control Body. Agrogema Agro claims the seizure of six helicopters, one aircraft, the airstrip, and other installations was unlawful. The company's legal representative, Jorge Reyes Peralta, stated that eight months after the intervention in January, the case remains unresolved, with no clear status for the company as either investigated, accused, or victim.

The complaints target the federal prosecutor in Veracruz, Mauricio Alexandro Rosaldo García, and three Public Ministry agents: Carlos Manuel Pérez Solís, Andrea Jahel González Castillo, and Virginia Cecilia Blanco Hernández. They are accused of abuse of authority and offenses against the administration of justice. The FGR officials allegedly led the seizure of various assets, including air and ground vehicles, and other company property, which was also publicly announced.

Agrogema Agro operates legally, providing aerial fumigation services for agriculture with the necessary permits and authorizations. Its "Ing. David Torres" heliport is located in Medellín de Bravo. The company has pursued legal recourse, including an indirect amparo lawsuit against the seizure. However, the lawyer claims the accused prosecutor has attempted to pressure and threaten the judge overseeing the case. The company urges the FGR to investigate and sanction its personnel for actions that have caused significant financial harm.
