Overview

  • Promoting her first-year report, the president cites a 25% drop in intentional homicides and a 20% decline in high‑impact crimes, and touts seizures valued at more than 50 billion pesos.
  • She says Mexico will request that any assets the United States confiscates from Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada be repatriated for social uses through INDEP, noting the DOJ’s $15 billion figure is its calculation and not a guarantee of funds.
  • On alleged bribery by Zambada, Sheinbaum reports no current proof against federal officials and defers investigations to the FGR, while Omar García Harfuch says recent detentions for collusion have involved local authorities, not the Army or Navy.
  • In Sinaloa, the government highlights 100 new patrols for Culiacán, an asserted 51% fall in homicides since June 1, and fewer vehicle robberies on the CuliacánMazatlán route, as Harfuch rejects any CJNG–‘Los Chapitos’ alliance and describes the cartel as weakened but active.
  • Amid scrutiny over Senator Gerardo Fernández Noroña’s 12‑million‑peso property, Sheinbaum criticizes media priorities, and Noroña says he is paying the house with Senate and YouTube income while denying any links to organized crime.
