Mexico’s FGR Destroys Over 3 Tons and 3,700 Liters of Drug Precursors Seized in Baja California

Certified incineration at a specialized facility eliminates a public‑health risk by denying diversion to illicit labs.

Overview

  • Federal prosecutors transferred the seized materials to a specialized company in the State of Mexico for incineration and neutralization.
  • The totals destroyed were 3,075.997 kilos of solids and 3,749.740 liters of liquids from recent Baja California seizures.
  • Hazardous substances included lead acetate, sodium cyanide, sodium hydroxide, acetone, hydrochloric acid, ethyl alcohol, toluene, and residues linked to synthetic drug production.
  • FECOR personnel, forensic experts, and representatives of the FGR’s Internal Control Body supervised counting, weighing, and verification throughout the process.
  • Officials said the certified destruction removes a significant health and security risk by preventing the chemicals’ reuse in illegal drug manufacture.
