Overview

• The second theft occurred on July 18 at the GDL Premiere impound yard in Acatlán de Juárez, with armed assailants removing the same gondola trailer a month after the first heist.
• Jalisco Attorney General Salvador González has opened a new investigation to reconstruct the transport chain and rule out internal collusion following procedural delays.
• Grupo Bacis initially misidentified the July 4 robbery’s location, first citing a nonexistent Chapala toll booth before correcting it to Tepatitlán after official denial.
• The company filed its first theft complaint five days after the initial incident, a delay that state prosecutors say hampered early investigative efforts.
• Forensic analysis on July 10 revealed the load was a carbonaceous processing mineral rather than gold and silver bullion, complicating ownership claims and legal proceedings.
