Overview
- Federal and state forces led by the FGR seized more than 1.6 million liters of diesel and fuel oil at a Silao facility over the Oct. 18–19 weekend.
- Petroil acknowledged owning the site and maintains the fuel was acquired through official domestic channels, rejecting that it was contraband.
- The company says it cooperated with authorities throughout the operation, provided documentation, and seeks to resume activity at its Silao plant opened in 2022 with about 90 employees.
- Photographs from inside the warehouse show Petroil and affiliate Asamaz names on tanks and trucks, though state-distributed images masked the logos.
- Officials have announced no arrests or final determinations; FGR-linked sources told Proceso no people were found at the site, and Petroil was previously linked to a late-September seizure in Yucatán at a property rented to the company.
