Sonora Prosecutors Detail Progress in Waldo’s Fire Probe as Top Executives Are Summoned

Outside engineering experts now bolster a probe focused on assigning responsibility.

Overview

  • Eleven Waldo’s managers and administrative staff have given statements, and top-level executives have been ordered to appear before prosecutors.
  • Thirteen municipal officials, six state and federal civil protection personnel, and four CFE employees have testified as part of the case.
  • Forensic work covers field criminalistics, fires and explosives, electrical engineering, and renewable energies, with UNAM specialists participating and the IPN electrical installations academy set to join.
  • Investigators are locating contractors and service providers across four states to secure additional testimony and technical records.
  • Public mourning has paused major events in Hermosillo, including the Nov. 17 civic parade, the Balloon Festival, and the Sonora Book Fair, after a toll of 24 dead and eleven injured, with families criticizing Waldo’s lack of public communication as CEEAV offers psychological and legal support.
