New arrest in the Del Carmen funeral home scandal

A new arrest shakes the macabre case of the funeral home, where the fate of the missing bodies remains a mystery that shakes the community.

One More Shadow Hangs Over the Funerary Mystery

Like lightning on a night already full of omens, justice unleashed its implacable arm this afternoon in Ciudad Juárez. Under the weight of an arrest order that resounded like thunder, another employee of the sinister Del Carmen funeral home fell, a name that now whispers terror in the heart of Chihuahua. The curtain opens for a new act in this tragedy that seems to have no end.

This macabre drama began to unravel days after the world discovered, with indescribable horror, the discovery of 386 bodies destined for cremation in the Plenitud crematorium. In this border scenario, the first piece of this gloomy puzzle was an employee of the funeral home, located in the Arroyo Colorado neighborhood, detained after the discovery of a body that never knew the purifying fire, abandoned in a spooky limbo.

The Network Closes and a Woman Faces Her Destiny

The investigation, a truth-hungry beast, did not stop. With each hour that passed, the network became tighter, and now the count of those arrested for this abominable act rises to at least three accused souls. In a dramatic turn of events, elements of the State Investigation Agency, the sentinels of the law assigned to the Northern Zone District Prosecutor’s Office, fulfilled the court order. The detainee, Nancy Ivette A. A., now faces accusations of crimes that shock the conscience: illicit inhumation and exhumation, violation of respect for corpses or human remains, and the indelible stain of fraud.

The moment of arrest was a scene worthy of a thriller. This Tuesday, at the intersection of 16 de Septiembre Avenue and Ramón Corona Street, in the very Center of Ciudad Juárez, his freedom disappeared. With no possibility of escape, she was immediately transferred and placed at the disposal of the Control Judge of the Bravos Judicial District, the man in charge of the criminal case 5189/2025, a number that will forever mark her existence.

The next chapter of this judicial saga is yet to be written. In the next few hours, the detainee will be taken to the initial hearing, that modern ritual where she faces the weight of the law. There, the agent of the Public Ministry will display the harsh reality before her: she is being investigated for events that occurred on May 9, 2025. The ministerial investigation, with the coldness of a scalpel, establishes that Nancy Ivette A.A. received a sum of money for a funeral service and the cremation of a man, a sacred pact that she never fulfilled. And today, the destiny that gave the corpse entrusted to his care is a secret that lies in the deepest and most terrifying darkness, a mystery that cries out for an answer that may never come.

How to prevent illnesses and falls with low-cost changes

WEF study proposes simple changes in homes and physical activity to save billions.

Small actions, big savings

Reducing diabetes, preventing falls, and preventing dementia is possible with minimal home adjustments, physical activity programs, and accessible technology. This is stated by the World Economic Forum (WEF) in its study “The longevity dividend”.

The report estimates that shifting policies toward prevention would free up $6.4 trillion globally. These resources today are used to treat diseases that could be avoided.

Concrete strategies

To prevent falls, experts recommend grab bars and lighting on stairs. With an investment of less than 400 billion dollars, almost 400 million falls would be avoided by 2040. This would generate more than 5 trillion in health savings.

In diabetes, community physical activity programs could stop 8.5 million cases of type 2 diabetes by 2040. The cost per person ranges between one and 40 dollars, and the gains in productivity would exceed 125 billion.

Hearing loss has a direct link to dementia. Expanding access to hearing aids would prevent 2.4 million cases of dementia and save more than 325 billion in health.

Economic benefits

The study, applied in 21 countries by the WEF and Marsh, indicates that companies and governments address health, finances and work separately. If integrated, they would unlock 5.8 trillion in healthcare savings and 645 billion in productivity gains.

“Poor health strains health systems and personal finances, affecting financial resilience and generating broader economic costs,” the report warns.

Impact on women

A relevant fact: women who dedicate a year to care work see their retirement savings reduced by 24% due to absence from work and the wage gap. Institutions often treat these problems separately, despite their consequences.

The WEF concludes that there is a window of opportunity to align health, finance and employment policies. The key: allocate budgets to prevention and care for the elderly population with public-private collaboration.

AICM taxi drivers refuse to apply discounts agreed for the World Cup

Three AICM taxi drivers groups refuse to apply discounts of up to 18% during the World Cup.

Three groups of taxi drivers that operate at the Mexico City International Airport (AICM) refused to apply discounts of up to 18% on their rates during the World Cup. The measure contradicts previous agreements announced by airport authorities and part of the union.

The companies Nueva Imagen, Porto Taxi and Sitio 300 issued a statement to clarify their position. They argued that they have no contractual relationship with the Grupo Aeroportuario Marina (GAM), the entity that promoted the benefits for airport users.

According to permit holders, the announced discounts do not represent a direct reduction in rates. They are, they say, adjustments derived from compensation for improper charges and administrative processes for maintenance work at the AICM.

They demand transparency

The taxi drivers asked the AICM authorities to make public the documents that support these measures. They also called on the GAM to make transparent the minutes and contracts where the application of discounts had been agreed upon. They questioned the legal validity of the obligations attributed to them.

The refusal could affect users who expected more affordable rates during the sporting event. Until now, there is no certainty about the real cost of service at the AICM during the World Cup.

Morena opens the door to a coalition with the PVEM in San Luis Potosí

Morena conditions alliance on PVEM ruling out Ruth González for the governorship.

Morena-PVEM Coalition for 2027?

The state leadership of Morena in San Luis Potosí left open the possibility of an alliance with the Green Ecologist Party (PVEM) for the local elections of 2027. The condition: that the PVEM present a different profile from that of Senator Ruth González.

Rita Ozalia Rodríguez Velázquez, state president of Morena, explained that if the PVEM discards Ruth González—wife of Governor Ricardo Gallardo—the green party could lead the coalition, which would also integrate the Labor Party (PT).

The leader clarified that the relationship with the PVEM at the local level does not face a conflict, although she admitted that there is no direct communication between both state leaders. Decisions about alliances, he said, are made by national leaders.

The possible agreement arises in the midst of the debate about nepotism, after Ruth González’s intention to succeed her husband in the state government was questioned. Morena looks for profiles that avoid that controversy.

Rodríguez Velázquez stressed that there is coordination between the party leadership to define the electoral strategy. For now, the panorama in San Luis Potosí remains open.
