Overview

  • Federal agents from the Guardia Nacional and SSPC stopped Lagos’s SUV at the La Venta checkpoint on the Autopista del Sol and discovered two short firearms and more than 50 rounds of ammunition.
  • Authorities transferred Lagos and at least one companion to the Fiscalía General de la República in Acapulco for a legal determination within 48 hours.
  • Media outlets differ on how many people were detained alongside Lagos and on whether the detainees have since been released.
  • The seized firearms are classified as exclusive use of the Armed Forces, making unauthorized possession a federal offense under Mexican law.
  • A companion has been identified as Luis Alberto Hernández Santos, a former contractor and advisor to ex-governor Héctor Astudillo, intensifying political scrutiny.
