Overview
- The state attorney general’s office issued a clarification disputing a Proceso report that only managers and employees had been called to testify in the Hermosillo store disaster.
- Authorities said the investigation covers all levels of the company and that members of the enterprise’s superior governing body were cited to appear this week, though identities and dates remain sealed for due process.
- Investigators maintain the blaze originated with an irregularly installed transformer inside the store and have incorporated technical expert reports, including a chromatographic analysis performed in the State of Mexico.
- The prosecutor reported detecting apocryphal documentation used in official procedures tied to the company operating the affected branch.
- Public records obtained via transparency show the store’s internal civil protection plan failed approval in 2022 and was not rechecked, and Hermosillo city officials later reserved licensing and extinguisher records for five years.
