Overview
- Federal prosecutors, the Navy and Puebla state police secured an inland property in Tlaola that investigators say operated as a large clandestine cryptocurrency‑mining facility in an operation carried out Sunday.
- Officers found about 300 specialized computing units (GPUs), a pedestal transformer, roughly 80 medium‑voltage terminals and eight satellite internet antennas, all of which were taken into custody for analysis.
- Authorities have opened forensic technical and financial probes to check for irregular connections to the Comisión Federal de Electricidad grid and to trace any virtual assets produced at the site.
- No arrests have been reported and the seized equipment and building remain under the control of the competent authority while the Ministerio Público Federal continues its investigation.
- Officials say the raid fits a pattern of similar discoveries across Puebla where remote communities are used to hide noisy, energy‑intensive farms and to help mask possible criminal money‑laundering networks.
