FGR Seizes Semefo and Two Funeral Homes in Iguala in Ayotzinapa Investigation

Agents sealed the facilities under a federal case alleging forced disappearance, with suspected violations of public health law.

Overview

  • The Special Unit for the Ayotzinapa case secured the sites around 12:30 p.m. Thursday, placing official seals and restricting access.
  • The operation involved the FGR, Army personnel and the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection, according to on‑site reports.
  • One location operates as the local forensic service and another, about 300 meters away, has a crematory; both sit at Iguala’s entrance near the area known as Rancho del Cura.
  • Authorities also sealed the Rueda funeral home on Avenida Bandera Nacional as part of investigation file FED/SDHPDSC/01-GRO/0000022/2020.
  • Local media report the facilities belong to Rodolfo Rueda Mazón, and the action revives a GIEI line of inquiry from 2015 about possible use of crematoria.
