Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office searched a warehouse rented by former Vice Admiral Manuel Roberto Farías Laguna in Mexico City and found weapons, luxury goods and confidential documents from the Navy.

Attorney General Ernestina Godoy Ramos said Farías used the site not only to store personal belongings but also to keep files considered confidential. The material included maritime customs lists, records on naval personnel and files concerning senior officials in the institution.
