Mexico seizes over 1 million liters of illicit fuel in Nuevo León raid

Federal authorities in Mexico have seized more than a million liters of suspected illicit hydrocarbon fuel during a raid on a property in Cadereyta, Nuevo León. The operation, a result of intelligence gathering, targeted a site believed to be used for storing illegally obtained fuel.

The raid involved personnel from the Attorney General's Office (FGR), the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC), the Secretariat of National Defense (Sedena), and the National Guard (GN). The FGR's Ministerial Police and the Criminal Investigation Agency executed the search warrant.

Officials reported finding approximately 671,000 liters of suspected hydrocarbon fuel, along with an additional 400,000 liters of a black and yellow liquid substance that will undergo analysis. The investigation aims to determine the origin of the seized products and assign responsibility. Authorities also secured significant equipment, including semi-trucks, tankers, storage tanks, pumps, forklifts, and power generators, all believed to be connected to the fuel storage and transport operations. No arrests were made during the operation.
