Sheinbaum Says First FGR Report on Interoceanic Train Crash Is Imminent, Stresses Probe Covers All Roles

She reiterates that Gonzalo López Beltrán held only an honorific post.

Overview

  • The Dec. 28 derailment in Oaxaca left 14 dead and dozens injured, triggering a federal criminal and technical inquiry.
  • Attorney General Ernestina Godoy expects to present an initial causation report this week or next, which will initiate victim reparations and formal interviews.
  • Investigators are analyzing the train’s data recorder for speed and fault information with support from the rail regulator.
  • Sheinbaum said a PAN complaint against Gonzalo López Beltrán was unnecessary because a case opened automatically after the crash.
  • She indicated that any track-related failure could implicate supervising engineers, while separate reporting has cited ASF observations about difficult route geometry and older rolling stock.
