Overview
- Two professionally built tunnels were found beneath a property on Gobernador M. González Calderón in Colonia Observatorio, reportedly six to eight meters deep and oriented toward the Azcapotzalco–Barranca del Muerto poliduct.
- Pemex said specialized inspections detected no physical evidence of a clandestine connection and confirmed the duct was not affected.
- The FGR opened a criminal investigation for possible fuel theft, and experts from Pemex and the FGR are working to map the tunnel route and identify those responsible.
- The discovery followed resident reports of a strong fuel odor and detected pressure variations, prompting a coordinated response that cordoned the area and assessed no risk to the public.
- Local officials and neighbors are demanding transparent duct‑pressure information; the building previously operated as an early‑childhood center until July.
