Overview
- Federal and state forces carried out a coordinated operation over the weekend of Sept. 6–7 that secured an inmueble in Tlaola and removed roughly 300 specialized GPUs along with other equipment.
- Investigators cataloged a pedestal transformer, about 80 medium‑voltage terminals and eight satellite internet antennas that show the installation was built for continuous, industrial‑scale mining.
- The property and all seized gear are under official custody while technical, forensic and financial analyses check for irregular connections to the power grid and links to Nuevo Necaxa.
- Authorities have not reported any arrests and are also probing whether the cryptocurrencies created at the site were used to disguise or move money from illicit activity.
- Puebla has seen several similar seizures in recent years, which officials say points to a pattern of using remote communities and clandestine electricity hookups to run large mining operations and reduce detection.
