Morena deputy urges combating huachicol as a State priority

Morenoist legislator proposes reforms to stop fuel theft that caused million-dollar losses in 2024.

Morena’s vice coordinator in the Chamber of Deputies, Alfonso Ramírez Cuéllar, stated that the fight against illegal fuel extraction must become a State priority. He assured that the impact of this crime affects national security, public finances and the development of the country.

Legislative proposals

The legislator pointed out the urgency of promoting legal and administrative reforms, as well as toughening criminal sanctions against the networks that operate this crime. He explained that these structures use corruption, front companies and money laundering. He highlighted that the aim is to improve fuel traceability, reinforce surveillance in customs and pipelines, and strengthen controls throughout the distribution chain.

Figures of the problem

Ramírez Cuéllar recalled that, according to data from Petróleos Mexicanos, in 2024 approximately 987 million liters of fuel were stolen. This represents million-dollar losses for Mexico and a high share of illegal fuel in the national market. He argued that combating this phenomenon is key to strengthening public finances and legality in the energy sector. By doing so, he said, the collection, security and well-being of the population will be improved.

AFAC revokes Magnicharters certificate after non-compliance

The airline could not prove regulatory compliance after an extraordinary verification.

Regulatory decision

The Federal Civil Aviation Agency (AFAC) revoked Magnicharters’ air services operator certificate. The measure was notified on June 29, after a regulatory review process.

The Secretariat of Infrastructure, Communications and Transportation (SICT) reported that the company’s right to a hearing was respected throughout the procedure. It was granted legal deadlines to present information and evidence that demonstrated compliance with current aeronautical regulations.

However, the documentation provided was insufficient. The airline was unable to prove that it met the necessary requirements to continue operating as a provider of passenger air transportation.

Origin of revocation

The decision derives from an extraordinary major verification carried out in January 2026. In it, non-compliance with the regulation of the sector was detected. This led to formal requirements and, subsequently, the temporary suspension of operations in April, as a preventive measure.

The SICT stressed that the revocation is based on the lack of sufficient evidence on the part of Magnicharters to prove its regulatory status. The company now faces the loss of its certificate, which prevents it from offering commercial air services.

Emilio Lozoya’s sister detained in the AICM for the Agronitrogenados case

Gilda Susana Lozoya was detained upon arriving in Mexico for her alleged participation in an irregular financial scheme.

The Attorney General’s Office (FGR) detained Gilda Susana Lozoya, sister of the former director of Pemex, Emilio Lozoya Austin, at the Benito Juárez International Airport in Mexico City. The capture occurred when completing a 2020 arrest warrant for his alleged participation in a money laundering scheme linked to the purchase of the Agronitrogenados plant.

Case details

Elements from the Criminal Investigation Agency (AIC), the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC) and the Secretariat of the Navy (SEMAR) participated in the operation. According to the FGR, Gilda Susana would have been a beneficiary of resources related to the acquisition of the plant, which Pemex purchased in 2014 at a premium and which, at the time of purchase, had obsolete equipment and had not been in operation for years.

The detainee was presented before the control judge of the North Prison, Nora Ileana García Peralta, elected by popular vote. During the initial hearing, when asked if she agreed to be represented by lawyers Alejandro Rojas Pruneda and Ana Lilia Sánchez Villalobos, she responded:

“Yes, I accept”

Lawyer Rojas Pruneda requested a two-hour recess to preliminarily review the 70,000 pages of the accusation delivered by the FGR. The proceedings will resume at 5:00 p.m., when prosecutors are expected to formally charge Gilda Susana with operations with resources of illicit origin and request informal preventive detention.

The case adds to the judicial process faced by his brother Emilio Lozoya, who is under house arrest for alleged acts of corruption related to Odebrecht and the purchase of Agronitrogenados.
