Overview

• Mexico’s Navy confirmed Captain Adrián Omar del Ángel Zúñiga died during a real-ammunition training exercise in Puerto Peñasco and pledged support to his family.
• The President said the Fiscalía General de la República is handling the inquiry and indicated the Security Cabinet will share results once available.
• The death follows the case of Captain Abraham Jeremías Pérez Ramírez, found dead in his Altamira office in what authorities record as a suicide; the Attorney General said he was not tied to the huachicol fiscal investigation.
• Reports note Del Ángel previously held a customs operations post in Manzanillo; a journalist alleged he left that role through an ‘acuerdo’ with senior officials, a claim not officially corroborated.
• The developments unfold as a broader probe into tax-evading fuel shipments has produced high-level detentions, including Viceadmiral Manuel Roberto Farías Laguna, with media citing around 14 arrests.
