Overview

• Attorney General Alejandro Gertz Manero said Captain Abraham Jeremías Pérez Ramírez was not part of the federal cases under investigation and described his death as a personal matter.
• Authorities and press reports identified the death as a suspected suicide, and the Navy publicly issued condolences to his family and colleagues.
• Prosecutors said 14 suspects connected to the alleged fiscal huachicol network were bound over for trial following overnight court rulings.
• President Claudia Sheinbaum expressed condolences, defended the Navy’s institutional integrity, and reiterated a policy of zero impunity for corruption.
• The broader inquiry stems from testimony by a former Tampico customs chief alleging per‑ship bribe distributions and naming senior officers, including Vice Admiral Manuel Roberto Farías Laguna and Rear Admiral Fernando Farías, though legal determinations remain pending.
