Overview

• The Quintana Roo state prosecutor executed the court-ordered seizure on September 23 and placed the property under Profepa’s custody, halting further construction.
• Authorities say the developer built without the required federal environmental impact authorization and continued work despite prior closures.
• Profepa chief Mariana Boy said demolition is the only way to repair the environmental damage and affirmed coordination with state and federal prosecutors.
• Profepa filed a criminal complaint on July 16 and later presented an additional case to the federal prosecutor’s office after identifying further permitting breaches on the federal beach zone.
• A citizen amparo backed by DMAS obliges Profepa to actively carry out demolition and ecological restoration previously ordered, following findings of dune damage totaling 731.80 m² and Semarnat’s denial of the project’s MIA.
