Prosecutor's office destroys nearly a ton of narcotics in Tabasco; marijuana and methamphetamine incinerated

Mexico's Attorney General's Office (FGR) has destroyed nearly a ton of illicit drugs seized in the state of Tabasco. The large-scale incineration took place at a facility in Villa Macultepec, municipality of Centro, as part of ongoing efforts to combat drug trafficking.

The operation saw the destruction of 942 kilograms, 176 grams, and 800 milligrams of marijuana. Additionally, 629 grams and 420 milligrams of cocaine, along with seven kilograms, 59 grams, and 700 milligrams of methamphetamine, were incinerated. Various other items related to criminal activities were also eliminated during the event.

The destruction process was coordinated and supervised by the Federal Public Ministry. A representative from the FGR's Internal Control Body was present to verify that the entire procedure adhered strictly to legal regulations. This ensures transparency and accountability in the handling and disposal of seized narcotics.

This significant seizure and destruction of drugs involved a broad collaboration between federal and local authorities. Agencies participating in the prior seizure of these narcotics included the FGR, the Secretariat of National Defense (Defensa), the Secretariat of the Navy (Semar), the National Guard, and the Secretariat of Citizen Security of the Government of Mexico. Local entities such as the Secretariat of Citizen Security of Tabasco, the State Attorney General's Office, the National Intelligence Center, and the FIRT Olmeca also played crucial roles.
