General Prosecutor Ernestina Godoy Ramos confirms seizure of national security documents and luxury goods in Manuel Roberto Farús Laguna warehouse
The General Prosecutor’s Office found and searched a warehouse in Mexico City rented by Manuel Roberto Farús Laguna. The search revealed classified national security documents, including reserved and confidential files, as well-being as unregistered firearms, maritime customs lists, and various luxury objects. These findings are part of an ongoing investigation into a smuggling network led by Manuel Roberto Farús Laguna and his brother, Fernando Farús Laguna. The brothers are accused of heading a structure that allowed for the illegal importation, storage, and distribution of gasoline from the United States. The network reportedly manipulated records to declare fuel as oil or additives to avoid paying taxes. The brothers allegedly used their influence within the Secretariat of the Navy to secure key positions and promotions for trusted personnel in maritime customs. Manuel Roberto Farús Laguna managed these appointments directly. The investigation identifies operations across several states, including Tamaulipas, Baja California, Colima, Sonora, and Mexico City. While the warehouse search provides new evidence, the General Prosecutor’s Office has not yet released the full content of the documents or specified their exact legal relevance to the smuggling network.
