Overview

• La Silla Rota reports the FGR’s organized-crime unit opened case FEMDO/FEITATA-CDMX/0000899/2024 into alleged collusion between former Profeco officials and CJNG, Santa Rosa de Lima and Guerreros Unidos to extract “vacunas.”
• The file names ex-Profeco heads Ricardo Sheffield and David Aguilar Romero among those under scrutiny, with ex-officials grouped as “Guanajuatenses” and “Grupo Monterrey,” according to the report.
• A cooperating witness identified as “Pablo” told prosecutors that payments from roughly 6,000 stations were tracked in an Excel list allegedly shared with Sheffield and later with Aguilar.
• The dossier includes screenshots of chats between the witness and Aguilar about stations that paid, and federal agents identified alleged collectors in Mexico City charging 20,000–25,000 pesos monthly to avoid visits or public exposure.
• Sheffield publicly rejected the account as unfounded, said he has not been notified by the FGR, and stated he is willing to cooperate if summoned.
