FGR reports 6.79-kilogram methamphetamine seizure in Jalisco

Reporting and context

AF Medios reports that Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office seized more than 6.79 kilograms of a crystalline substance with characteristics of methamphetamine at a parcel-shipping company in the Guadalajara metropolitan area of Jalisco. The seizure followed an anonymous report and a judicial authorization allowing federal investigators to open correspondence believed to contain drugs.

According to the report, Federal Ministerial Police officers carried out the inspection with support from personnel from the Coordination of Forensic Services and a detection dog. Investigators found three cardboard boxes containing the substance during the operation. AF Medios said the material was placed at the disposal of the Federal Public Prosecutor assigned to the FGR’s Regional Control Specialized Prosecutor’s Office in Jalisco, together with the corresponding standardized police report.

The FGR is continuing to assemble its investigative file to identify and, if appropriate, seek the detention of people who may have participated in sending or transporting the shipment, the report said. The source describes the substance as having methamphetamine characteristics; it does not report a final laboratory result, identify a sender or recipient, or state that an arrest had been made. The seizure and the investigative steps remain claims attributed to AF Medios’ account of the FGR operation.
