Overview

• State prosecutors in Michoacán located four decomposed bodies during a forensic operation at a hillside property in Huaniqueo.
• The search was initiated after an anonymous report and carried out under a warrant issued by a Control Judge.
• A multidisciplinary FGE team executed the search with perimeter support from SEDENA, the National Guard, and the Guardia Civil, assisted by the FGE K9 unit.
• The remains were transported to the state medical examiner for necropsies and identification procedures, and inquiries remain active.
• Authorities are examining whether a firefight in the area a day earlier, which led to seven detentions and the seizure of 10 firearms, is connected to the discovery.
