Overview
- President Claudia Sheinbaum and all state governors unanimously endorsed the National Anti‑Extortion Agreement at the National Public Security Council.
- The plan drives state‑level legal harmonization so the FGR can investigate cases pursued de oficio under the new federal framework with tougher penalties.
- It mandates a reinforced 089 reporting line, a national manual to standardize intake and investigations, and specialized units within state prosecutors’ offices.
- Authorities identified 12 prisons that host 56% of extortion lines, report one‑third of those lines already blocked, and schedule ending phone use in federal and Mexico City prisons in the first quarter of next year.
- Since the July strategy launch, more than 102,800 calls have reached 089 and over 600 suspects have been detained in 22 states, with Jalisco recording the first prosecutions under the reformed extortion law.
