Overview
- Governor Alfonso Durazo requested multidisciplinary experts from UNAM, IPN, and a national risk-management college to co-validate peritajes in the Hermosillo case that left 24 dead and 14 injured.
- The state prosecutor indicated there will be penal, civil, and administrative proceedings for any private parties or public officials found responsible for omissions.
- Preliminary findings point to a transformer located inside the store operating in irregular conditions and the lack of a required Internal Civil Protection Program as probable factors.
- Regulatory fallout widened as Mazatlán authorities suspended six Waldo’s stores for outdated or noncompliant fire-safety plans, allowing reopening only after corrections.
- Families of victims, including those of Marcos Segundo Reyes, are initiating legal action, while Waldo’s says it has covered funeral costs, arranged medical transport, and is cooperating as Hermosillo holds memorials and cancels public events.
