Fugitive โฃStatus Confirmed for Key Figure in Alleged Customs Corruption Network
A fugitive arrest warrant has been reactivated for Fernando Farรญas Laguna, nephew of Rafael Ojeda, after he failed to appear for a scheduled hearing related to allegations of leading a large network involved in โcorruption within Mexican Customs. Teh Attorney General’s Office (FGR) confirmed the warrant remains activeโค as authorities โฃseek toโข locate and detain Farรญas Laguna.
The case โstems from an inquiry into a suspected network of prosecutors, officials, civilians, and businessmen in Mexico and the United States allegedly involved in crimes including corruption, tax fraud, and โขmoney laundering connected to illegal fuel trafficking. While a previous arrest warrant against Farรญas Laguna โขwas withdrawn, his failure to attend the hearing triggered the reinstatement of theโค order. The investigation is ongoing, with the legal situation of other accused individuals currently being analyzed โat the Altiplano prison.
The broader investigation extends beyond โขthe โFarรญas brothers and โcould implicate a wider network. Recent reports suggest concerns are growing regarding smugglingโข and corruption within Mexican Customs, even as officials like โคClaudia Sheinbaum and Omar Garcรญaโ Harfuch highlight progress against illicit fuel networks.
