Mexico City Raids Clandestine Party at Sevilla 30, Evacuates 500 and Detains Three

Prosecutors are reviewing evidence of a possible trafficking scheme after photos, documents and drugs were found and the building was sealed.

Overview

  • Local authorities and police executed a coordinated operation at a multi‑floor building on Sevilla 30 in Colonia Juárez following a citizen complaint.
  • Officials said most attendees were minors and alcohol was being sold illegally, including large containers of ethyl or adulterated liquor without safety permits or fire protections.
  • Three suspected organizers were arrested after attempting to obstruct the inspection, while all attendees were evacuated without major injuries.
  • Investigators reported finding photo catalogs and folders with personal data, computers, and marijuana and cocaine, prompting referral to the Mexico City prosecutor’s office to probe possible human trafficking.
  • The property was sealed for evidentiary work, and reporters noted the venue was promoted on social media as “Tu lugar favorito,” reflecting a wider 2025 crackdown on clandestine events in Cuauhtémoc.
