Inside the property, agents from the capital prosecutor’s office found oil drums and several hoses connected to a cistern, where it is presumed that the fuel was stored

Inside the property, six people were found along with several drums, two of them apparently containing gasoline, as well as a tank with hoses possibly connected to the PEMEX pipelines.

Due to this fact, the intervention of specialized personnel from the State owned and Civil Protection company was requested. In their initial reports it was indicated that they made a seizure of a clandestine fuel duct inside the property.

The ministerial agent requested the intervention of the General Coordination of Forensic Investigation and Expert Services so that specialists in civil engineering, criminology, photography and chemistry could gather evidence at the site.

Police officers stood in front of the two green hallways that are in the home. It was guarded for several minutes while waiting for Petróleos Mexicanos (PEMEX) personnel, in order to prevent neighbors and onlookers in the area from approaching the site.

After several minutes of security, PEMEX workers, staff of the Prosecutor’s Office, came to carry out the corresponding procedures.

With the help of picks and shovels, they carried out excavation work on Calle Salónica, which is a few meters from the winery.

Neighbors in the area announced that this property had already been seized once, public records indicated it had been unclaimed, but that when things were clarified, the seals were removed.

But in recent days they had seen that trucks frequently entered and left during the afternoons.

The six subjects were placed at the disposal of the social representative, attached to the General Coordination of Territorial Investigation, where their legal situation will be determined.
