Puebla Opens Internal Probe Into Viral Video of Alleged Party Inside San Miguel Prison

Officials have launched an authenticity review that could lead to administrative and criminal penalties.

Overview

  • The state security ministry said its Internal Affairs office opened internal and external inquiries and could bring administrative or criminal cases if violations are confirmed.
  • The clips, labeled Oct. 28, show men identified as inmates drinking beer and dancing with women in what appears to be the dining area, with loud music and no guards visible.
  • The videos were posted on the Facebook page “San Miguel Puebla,” removed, and then widely recirculated via WhatsApp and local outlets.
  • Authorities have not authenticated the footage or confirmed the timing of the events, stating verification is underway.
  • Local reports name high‑risk inmate Marco Antonio “N,” known as “El Pavón,” as the presumed host; he was arrested in 2022 and has been linked by sources to extortion and a Sept. 25 inmate killing inside the prison.
