FGR raids property for alleged illegal diesel sales in Umán, Yucatán; seizes 100 liters and detains three

Federal agents from Mexico's Attorney General's Office (FGR) have conducted a raid on a property in Umán, Yucatán, uncovering an alleged operation for the clandestine storage and sale of diesel fuel. The operation, authorized by a judicial order, targeted a site located on the Umán-Tebec highway.

During the raid, authorities apprehended three individuals believed to be involved in extracting diesel from heavy-duty vehicles. The fuel was reportedly stored in containers and then transported for illegal sale. The FGR also seized five large containers, approximately 100 liters of diesel, three hoses, three mobile phones, and cash from the premises.

The investigation leading to the raid was prompted by an anonymous tip, which allowed FGR elements to gather information about the illicit activity. This intelligence formed the basis for requesting the search warrant and subsequent operation.

The case has now been handed over to federal authorities, who will determine the legal status of the three individuals detained and proceed with further investigation into the illegal fuel trade.
