Joint operation against tourist robberies

Four people were arrested in Monterrey for their alleged participation in robberies of foreign tourists. The Monterrey Police acted after an alert from the hotel sector.

According to the Monterrey Security Secretariat, the suspects were part of a group known as “Los Peruanos.” Two of them are of Peruvian origin and two are Mexican. They are linked to the theft of handbags and backpacks in restaurants, mainly during tourists visiting the World Cup.

The detainees were identified as Lourdes Natalia N., 50 years old; Jorge Humberto R., 68; Richard Alcides U., 57, and José Juan H., 77 years old. At the time of the capture, the authorities seized 17 bags with a substance similar to marijuana. All were at the disposal of the Public Ministry.

The arrest highlights the importance of collaboration between authorities and hoteliers to guarantee tourist safety in Monterrey, especially during high-traffic seasons.

Strategic plant against livestock pest

President Claudia Sheinbaum inaugurated the Production Plant for Sterile Livestock Screwworm Flies (GBG) in Metapa de Domínguez, Chiapas. The project is binational between Mexico and the United States.

The facility will produce 100 million sterile insects each week. The objective: control the pest and strengthen animal health in both countries.

Sheinbaum highlighted that international cooperation generates results in the face of phytosanitary challenges that do not recognize borders. He thanked President Donald Trump and the US authorities for their financial and technical contribution.

Investment and results

The US ambassador to Mexico, Ronald D. Johnson, announced an additional investment of 83.8 million dollars. The resources will be used to intensify the fight against the pest, increase the production of sterile flies and strengthen preventive strategies.

The US Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke L. Rollins, described the achievement as an example of the success of coordinated work.

For her part, the Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development, Columba Jazmín López Gutiérrez, explained that the plant was built in 12 months. As part of the containment actions, 5.3 million heads of cattle have been inspected, more than 84 thousand commercial shipments have been verified and 7 billion sterile flies have been released with the support of specialists.

The bilateral relationship, Sheinbaum stressed, must continue on mutual respect, constant dialogue and sovereignty.

The Attorney General’s Office of the State of Morelos initiated an investigation file against Víctor Rodríguez Padilla, former director of Petróleos Mexicanos, after the dissemination of a video in which he is seen allegedly attacking his wife, María Felicia Jiménez.

Protection actions

The Morelos Prosecutor’s Office specified that the investigation was opened in full respect for the rights of women, girls, boys and adolescents. The statement indicates that the events probably occurred on March 15 inside a home in Emiliano Zapata, with the alleged participation of a former federal official.
