Body found tied and murdered near Soriana in Guadalupe

A macabre discovery shakes the Santa María neighborhood while authorities search for answers.

The macabre discovery that no one asked for in Guadeloupe

Monterrey woke up with more drama than an episode of La Rosa de Guadalupe, but without the happy ending. A man was found murdered and tied up as if someone had played a bad game of window shopping in the middle of La Merced Street, Santa María neighborhood. The setting? Behind a Soriana (because the trivial and the terrifying always go hand in hand).

Details that scare (and confuse)

The victim, still unidentified, was wearing an outfit worthy of mystery: black T-shirt, dry green Bermuda shorts and black tennis shoes (a failed camouflage attempt?). The most disturbing thing: he was tied with a white cord —yes, like those you use for your sneakers—, face up and half-covered with plastic bags. An improvised crime or a poorly executed Narcos script?

Paramedics arrived thinking of rescuing someone unconscious, but they only confirmed the obvious: the guy was already on another existential plane. Meanwhile, police, detectives and experts took turns taking photos and whispering theories, as if they were true crime influencers.

And the injuries? Nobody knows (or they don’t want to say). The only thing that’s clear is that someone had a really bad day.

Vice Admiral appeals denial of protection for huachicol in the Navy

Manuel Roberto Farías Laguna seeks to reverse the ruling that keeps him detained by the huachicol network.

Vice Admiral Manuel Roberto Farías Laguna, accused of leading a huachicol network from the Navy, challenged the judicial decision that denied him protection. His defense presented an appeal for review before a Collegiate Court in Criminal Matters.

The court will define whether to admit or reject the appeal. If admitted, he will review the sentence of Judge Jorge Adrián Cruz Flores, who on June 22 denied federal protection. If he ratifies it, the Vice Admiral will continue to be held in the Altiplano prison.

Farías Laguna requested protection in October 2025, after Judge Mario Martínez Elizondo linked him to proceedings for organized crime and fuel trafficking. The FGR accuses him of leading an organization that operated the disembarkation of at least 31 vessels with fiscal huachicol at the customs of Altamira and Tampico, Tamaulipas.

Details of the accusation

According to the Prosecutor’s Office, a group of sailors and customs officials, led by brothers Manuel Roberto and Fernando Farías Laguna, would have coordinated the entry of stolen fuel during the six-year term of former president Andrés Manuel López Obrador. The network operated with complicity within the same institution.

The resolution of the Collegiate Court will be key for the legal future of the accused. The case shows the challenges in the fight against huachicol when it involves senior Navy commanders.

Former director of Pemex faces criminal proceedings in Atlacholoaya

Former director of Pemex claims fruit and judge orders medical attention in Atlacholoaya.

Entry to the Atlacholoaya prison

Víctor Rodríguez Padilla, former director of Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex), was admitted to the Observation and Classification Center of the Atlacholoaya prison after his arrest at the Benito Juárez mayor’s office in Mexico City. He is accused of family and vicarious violence, for attacking his wife in the presence of their youngest daughter.

During his first morning in the protection area for officials, he expressed dissatisfaction because they did not bring him fruit. The prison rule is that fruit is served only to those who are on a sick diet. Later they gave him pieces of melon, and other prisoners indicated that he probably paid for this benefit, a common practice in that area.

Rodríguez occupies a single cell, wears a beige uniform and plain tennis shoes. So far he has not received visits from family or friends. He also did not have companions at the accusation formulation hearing last Wednesday. Judge Consuelo Adriana Carrera Ortiz asked twice if there was any family member present, without receiving a response.

In that same hearing, the former official reported that he is undergoing treatment for a malignant tumor in the prostate. The judge ordered immediate medical attention.

“I am going to order that the corresponding letter be sent to the director of the Social Reintegration Center so that they can immediately provide medical attention and they must inform me within 24 hours,” said the judge.

Rodríguez tried to detail his medication, but the judge interrupted him: “I cannot order in this office that you be given these medications, because I am not a doctor; however, a doctor will determine if it is pertinent for you to take these medications.” Complaints have been registered in the prison about lack of medication.
